Why we flair? Lectins

When there is no obvious infection, no emotional trauma, or changes in diet then why do we flair?

Lectins may be the instigator....foods high in lectins,,,wheat, rye , potato tomatoes, milk beans, cucumber, peanuts, peas ..i will find a better and more complete list..



This may be why some diets seem to help with inflammation,,,..its not that they give us added nutrition or are a powerhouse of vitamins..., but by their nature they don't include foods that contain inflammatory lectins in large amounts for a sustained period of time.
