Answer:

Around 70% of our immune system dwells in our digestive tract in the form of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). An important component of our immune system called plasma cells (which give rise to invader-defending antibodies) also reside within the GALT. Our gut is the major channel between the external environment and the internal systems of our body. It is exposed to plenty of germs and harmful invaders such as bacteria and viruses present in food particles on a daily basis. [1] These toxic agents are perceived by the immune system in the gut as being harmful to our body and attacked. That being said, our body does not reject everything we put into it. This process is known as tolerance. When our immune system rejects an otherwise harmless substance, we are labeled as being sensitive or allergic to that food/food ingredient.
