I'm not sure

In the past year or so my body hasn't been digesting certain artificial food dyes (some red, most blue, and some yellows) now its not making me sick but I do get concern when I forget I ingested one of the one of these dyes and it changes the coloring of my urine and feces. I was wondering if this is an allergy or what?

Yes the natural stuff is better and I tend to avoid the artificial dyes anyways, which can be hard at time because it seem like almost anything that has color in it anymore is artificial other than fruit. I was just wondering what causes this problem and why it really only seems to be certain kinds of dyes.

Not an intolerance, but it is a sign that  your body is not processing it properly,  time to get off the artificial dyes, and start eating natural.    funny how the body talks to us, and we don't listen.
