Abstract

[Extract] The small intestine is one of the most immunologically reactive organs in the body where trace amounts of inappropriate antigens (or allergens) can trigger a cascade of molecular events culminating in pronounced physiological changes, such as mucosal engorgement, increased secretion of fluids, exaggerated peristalsis, mass movement of intestinal contents, muscle contraction, pain and severe diarrhoea.
