A member asked:
Might it happen that a food intolerance develop into an allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Food intolerance is a common problem, but it is not a risk factor to go on to develop an allergy to that particular food. For example, lactose intolerance from cows milk does not increase risk of developing cow's milk protein allergy.
