Inflammation and diet

Sometimes its easier to prove a negative so a few months ago i continued the formula but stopped the peppermint oil and began a high lectin diet for a couple of weeks to see if i could induce a flair....I ate primarily high lectin or high fat foods and what i believe are my known triggers such as bread, pasta ,tomato sauces, beans.etc ..I began by eating on consecutive days peanuts, bread, pasta, tomato sauces, beans etc to inflame the intestinal wall...by two weeks i was flairing and that was while on the formula with adequate D ....so even then, the diet can produce adverse effects especially when the small intestine and intestinal tract has been consistently injured over a number of days and weeks. Imagine how easy to do the same with some active inflammation elsewhere in the body, low levels of vitamin D often found in late winter and poor diet etc....

i believe any inflammation can lead to flairing as it kicks in an immune response... in this case it was an inflammation in the gut that caused the flairs...

To those who disbelieve that diet and its related inflammation are a fantasy or have no effect.... try it...but don't eat a normal diet which allows for some intermittent relief and self repair to the small intestine ...to prove this point in the short term, you have to overindulge with high lectin foods and not give the small intestine a chance to protect itself .....and then the results are obvious....

Going back on a bland or mild diet...it took about a week to two weeks to see the small intestine and flairing settle down, (the cells in the wall of the small intestine reproduce rapidly ) flora reestablishs etc.. but it takes weeks to months to reduce the increased redness and return the skin to normal

The redness or angiogenesis with the flairs is a byproduct of the wound healing peptide ll37 and inflammation via the gut (where the peptide also exists) as well as in our lesions...by reducing the D to reduce the peptide, getting some uva (spring sun) and back on the peppermint( alter that gut permeability etc) i am pretty much back to normal...and can "cheat" a little on diet again...to a more normal diet.
