Problems digesting onions or garlic can have various causes, just like most other symptoms. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose problems digesting onions or garlic, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Food Allergies | 94% | Confirm |
Liver Congestion | 69% | Possible |

Onion or garlic allergy is often called an 'intolerance' rather than an allergy. Symptoms may manifest immediately, or be delayed for up to a day.
