Not necessarily, food intolerance can be handled, without affected the body horribly (e.g. Lactose intolerant may cause violent diarrhea, farts and stomach grumbles along with other small symptoms) but does not greatly affect the body.
Allergies to food can cause serious harm, depending on how allergic someone is to a certain substance. There are minor symptoms and allergies, but they would still give a rash or inflame an area of contact with the substance!
