Experts Unpack Food Allergies and Intolerances at Free Public Lecture
The 'Understandable Medicine' lecture series is set to demystify complex scientific topics for the public. On December 3, 2025, at Wiesbaden City Hall's Rathaussaal, two experts will delve into food intolerances and allergies, offering insights and addressing personal concerns in an open Q&A session. The event is free and open to all.
Dr. Sarah Schneider, the speaker at 'A Good Gut Feeling: Understanding Food Intolerances', will explore the development of food intolerances and how dietary changes can alleviate symptoms. Unlike classic allergies, food intolerances stem from digestive disorders, with symptoms ranging from bloating and cramps to diarrhea and exhaustion. Around 20 percent of Germans experience post-meal discomfort with no clear cause.
Common examples include lactose intolerance and fructose malabsorption. Schneider, a nutrition scientist and diabetes advisor, will also discuss 'Nutrition for Metabolic Syndrome and Fatty Liver Disease' during her lecture.
Dr. Hanan Adib-Tezer will present 'Food Allergies: New and Hidden Allergens on the Rise', shedding light on immune system reactions triggered by specific foods.
The 'Understandable Medicine' lecture series aims to bridge the gap between complex science and everyday understanding, making it accessible to all. The event on December 3, 2025, offers a unique opportunity to learn about food intolerances and allergies, and to ask questions directly to the experts.
