A gut reaction is a spontaneous, instinctive response to a situation or stimulus, without the person having to think deeply or reflect on it. It is often influenced by one's subconscious mind and experiences, and can be seen as a form of intuition or a 'sixth sense'. Gut reactions are usually quick and based on the body's natural fight-or-flight response. They can be very useful in situations that require fast decision-making, though they might not always be accurate or rational.
