Question 1

what are the effects of undigested protein in the blood and body?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing: In 1930 hh donally reported an eloquent experiment in lactating women demonstrating that in virtually all normal persons undigested protein enters the bloodstream and can be detected in the skin.

Just because digestion is not completed in the gut does not mean that the gut is leaky or that these foreign proteins invariably cause disease.
