Many experience signs of food intolerance from time to time and the discomfort lasts for a while. Others have the misfortune of having to eliminate those foods from their diets altogether. This may be the new reality for a friend in crisis in episode nine of Sisters Without Shame.

Clinical dietician Bernice Venter joins the Sisters Without Shame to respond to an SOS from a friend in Mahikeng. He fears he may have to eliminate peanut butter from his diet and Venter confirms his worst fears. She says when people start asking the question, “Is it a food intolerance?” and they constantly have inflammatory symptoms like gut problems or bloating, they might be better off avoiding those foods.
