In genetically susceptible individuals, ingestion of cereal prolamins from wheat, barley, rye, and possibly oats initiates an inflammatory disorder during which the small intestinal mucosa is damaged. This process is accompanied by malabsorption, activation of the intestinal immune system, and... 

Before gluten proteins from food are able to interact with cells of the intestinal immune system, they have to pass through the gastrointestinal tract. 

Following absorption from the intestinal mucosa, gluten peptides stimulate intestinal T lymphocytes to promote antibody production and release of inflammatory mediators. Stimulation of lymphocytes by gluten is seen as main step in the chain of pathogenetic events in CD and is, therefore, of central interest. Other effects of gluten peptides on intestinal epithelial cells [57, 58] and other cells [59-62] which do not seem to be directly related with activity intestinal immune system ( direct toxicity of gluten peptides) and induction of innate immune responses (for review see [63, 64]) will not be discussed here.

The latter study demonstrates the relationship of the gut-associated lymphoreticular tissue (GALT) and the intestinal immune system to the immunomodulating actions of polysaccharides. 

Stress can be defined as the physiological reaction of an organism to external or internal stimuli in which the body initiates various defense mechanisms to maintain homeostasis (Ramsey 1982 Cruz et al. 2012). The stress response involves a complex network of mechanisms essential for survival, mediated by neurotransmitters, peptidic hormones, and endocrine hormones from the enteric nervous system (ENS). These molecules modulate the humoral and cellular components of the intestinal immune system (de Jonge 2013).
