[Allergies] /The role of IgA is closely related to gut problems

[Guest guest]

I have just been reading a bit about IgA and the

mucous membranes which are all over our body including

the intestines, the genitals and reproductive tract

and certainly the mouth and sinuses and will pass this

on. Their main function according to this researcher

is to soak up allergens and bacteria and is closely

related to gut related problems (which to me means

food problems). Food problems usually involve the most

reactive foods which are dairy and gluten proteins.

Since the mucous membranes in our bodies are connected

it stands to reason that what happens to the mucous

membranes in our guts will also cause reactions in our

sinuses or reproductive tract (genitals). (At least to

me). Anyway I think it is interesting.

Scroll down to " Discussion " if interested.
