Enteroimmunology is an emerging field of medicine that studies the enteric immune system and microbial biome of the digestive system and their interaction with diet, digestion, the enteric and central nervous systems and endocrine functions.
Lewis elucidates the physiology and pathophysiology of the intestinal and immune cells with cla.

Understanding the immune system of the gut, provides insight to how these mechanisms impact both the enteric and central nervous systems.
It explores the mechanisms occurring in immune dysfunction; when the immune response, rather than protect health, promotes Chronic inflammation, responsible for depression, obesity, diabetes, acne, Alzheimer\'s disease, cancer, migraines, fibromyalgia, IBS, osteoporosis, schizophrenia, and many other Chronic Inflammatory diseases.
This book, updated in 2018, details the physiologic functions of the digestive and immune cells; their reactions to proteins, antigens and nutrients in the diet; the role of bacterial toxins and immune mediators; and the hormones that mediate appetite, GI motility and digestion.
However, they can also promote Chronic inflammation, not just in the intestines, but in any organ system of the body.
These cells effect immune activity that protect the body from infection.
Just below the enterocytes, the mucosa contains over half of the body\'s immune cells.
These cells absorb nutrients while excluding the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that inhabit the gut.
The gastrointestinal mucosa is predominantly lined with enterocytes that form a continuous barrier throughout the digestive path.
Neurological diseases discussed include autism, migraine, Chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, bipolar and rage disorders.
Enteroimmune disease is not limited to diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and Inflammatory bowel diseases but also cause systemic and neurological diseases.
It explores and elucidates how these systems affect each other, impacting health and disease.
