i'd additionally look at other potential food sensitivities.

i was tested and came up very positive for dairy (casein) and a little positive for egg. so i avoid those foods.

my naturpath gave me a list of foods that are common in causing an inflammatory response in some people and a list of foods most likely to be "safe". if i hadn't had the food sensitivity testing blood work, i'd have followed this list.

food sensitivities are apparently a common inflammation trigger, especially if one believes in the whole leaky gut theory.

starch is just one possibility. gluten especially being a common trigger. i've had a lot of testing and it all comes back negative for celiac.
