What is passion fruit intolerance and how does it differ from passion fruit allergies?

Passion fruit intolerance refers to a digestive issue where the body struggles to process passion fruit efficiently, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This differs from a passion fruit allergy, which is an immune response to proteins in the fruit, potentially causing more severe symptoms like hives, respiratory difficulties, or anaphylaxis. Intolerance primarily affects the digestive system, resulting in symptoms like bloating or diarrhea, while allergies involve a broader immune system response.
