85a - ALLERGY if the N is wrong?
Intolerance isn't the same as allergy
Hmmm. Thanks, bb. Obviously an allergy is a type of intolerance, but an intolerance isn't necessarily an allergy. If that makes sense? Can't think of anything better though!
but concise crosswords are mostly about picking the one synonym from several that fits the letters
But it's the wrong way round (sorry, i know I'm disagreeing with a dictionary!)
although Chambers doesn't have it
//intolerant adj (often intolerant of something) refusing or unwilling to accept ideas, beliefs, behaviour, etc different from one's own. intolerance noun. intolerantly adverb.
ETYMOLOGY: 18c: from Latin intolerans, from tolerare to endure.//

it's like saying a dog is a jack Russell.
Not taking sides here... honest..cos can't better the answer given but from Wiki

Food intolerance or non-allergic food hypersensitivity is a term used widely for varied physiological responses associated with a particular food, or compound found in a range of foods.

Food intolerance is a detrimental reaction, often delayed, to a food, beverage, food additive, or compound found in foods that produces symptoms in one or more body organs and systems, but it is not a true food allergy. A true food allergy requires the presence of immune mechanisms (as for instance Immunoglobin E - IgE antibodies) against the food, and a food intolerance does not
Exactly, an allergy involves the immune system. Intolerance doesn't.
there might be a medical difference but I would suggest that colloquially it is a reasonable match
