How IgG food allergies crop up:
The best immune systems of the body are the intestines. More than 80% of the defence reactions start here. Having a healthy gut wall means having a good barrier to pathogens, bacteria, viruses and food proteins. When food is digested properly, it passes through the intestinal cells and into the blood stream. However, when the intestinal wall is not healthy, owing to medications, mycosis or stress, the food is not digested properly and passes through the cells into the bloodstream as a foreign particle, thereby initiating immune reactions.
