Does food intolerance or lactose intolerance increase your risk for colon or rectal cancer?

No: Lactose intolerance does not cause colon cancer. However, there is an association between low levels of vitamin d and colon cancer.

No: There are many studies done on food intolerances and food allergies, with mixed results in the latter. As far as food intolerances are concerned, it is not felt that there is a link to cancer.
