Chronic dermatological conditions also apply to secretory IgA levels. Any irritation to the gut lining can contribute to increased gut permeability (leaky gut). Irritation results from inflammation, imbalanced intestinal organisms, food intolerances and allergies, maldigestion and exposure to anti inflammatory medication example NSAIDs like ibuprofen. Leaky gut can lead to increased burden on the hepatic detoxification system which can deplete nutrient cofactors and increase toxic reactions. The liver can become very sluggish due to a result of trying to detox the above. Chronically impaired immune gut function leads to an increase in susceptibility to toxic substances and bacterial movement. The comprehensive adrenal stress profile that also measures chronic stress can have a dramatic effect on sIgA production.
Low levels of Secretory
Secretory IgA’s key function is to bind to invading microorganisms and toxins and entrapped them in the mucus layer or within the epithelial cells so to inhibit microbial motility, agglutination of the organisms and neutralization of their eggs or toxins and then it assists in the harmless elimination from the body and in the stool. Secretory IgA also tags foods as acceptable. So low IgA leads to increased sensitivity to foods.
Studies link to stress and emotional issues with secretory IgA. Production is adversely affected by stress which is mediated by cortisol levels. This could result in inadequate production of secretory IgA in response to an infection. Reduced secretory IgA levels may be associated with suboptimal adrenal output in which case in adrenal stress index test would be recommended as well.
High levels secretory IgA
Elevated levels in saliva or associated with an immune response to stimulation by infections and inflammatory reactions. High levels of secretory IgA production may indicate an infection of the digestive system like SIBO in which case the breath test and stool analysis with parasites would be recommended.

Choline, EFAs, glutathione, glycine, phosphatidyl choline, vitamin C and zinc are all needed for efficient production. So try get your kids to feast on those vitamins and minerals
