Inappropriate Immune Response to Gluten – Symptoms and Prognosis. Celiac Disease and Inappropriate Immune Response to Gluten
An insufficient reaction of the immune system to a food product can be described as a faulty response of the body to the ingestion of a product that does not cause adverse effects in most people. Abnormal reactions vary in severity and can lead to tragic consequences in the most severe cases. When a person is hypersensitive to protein contained in food, their immune system treats it as a hazardous substance. Often, the ingestion of an allergen results in an immune response that involves the production of antibodies (called immunoglobulins E - IgE) that trigger the release of inflammatory substances into the body [1].
