Intestinal mucosa: the mucous membrane lining of the inside of the intestine [both small and large].

Overview

The intestinal mucosa serves as a protective layer and as a secretory membrane and is easily disturbed and damaged by antibiotics and over the counter drugs [aspirin, ibuprofen, Alive, etc.] and by prescription medications.

When the mucosa becomes severely damaged or is unable to repair and heal, a condition commonly known as ‘leaky-gut’ occurs.  This condition allows drugs and UNDIGESTED FOOD PROTEINS direct access to the blood that results in metabolic reactions called autoimmune reactions.

Autoimmune reactions are NOT the body attacking itself, rather, the body is responding to invasion of foreign molecules/proteins that should NEVER have direct access to the blood.

Food-driven inflammation is generally of low-grade status, but some proteins and drugs cause violent reactions such as anaphylactic shock.  Food allergies can be mild or severe and is the result of damage to the intestinal mucosa and invasion of the bloodstream by foreign proteins.
