been on an elimination diet for a while, because if I'm not, I get depression and suicidal ideation.
I don't have a diagnosis for arthritis, but I'm testing around a lot and maybe this info helps you in your journey:
I make gelatine from pig's feet occasionally, when I make it with just salt and some lemon or vinegar, I don't have problems.
Last time I thought, maybe try bell pepper, haven't tried for a while and I seem to do okay with capsaicin. Boy was I wrong, within a week I got horrible joint pain in the feet.
Bell peppers are seemingly high in lectin and other phyto-nutrients.
I recently found on hacker news, that I can neutralize oxolates with a pro-biotic - will try that for lectins next. Have to prepare the gut with L-Glutamine and Silicea.
God's speed!
Edit: Between ingestion and symptoms, it takes about 3-4 days
It's orthogonal to the diet, I actually force myself to eat normally including eating carbs, I actually take it specifically only because it has a strong positive effect on my immune system. There's some research showing as much.
makes sense to me unless you get autoimmune symptoms from them, to me it means that something gets through the gut-lining that shouldn't - I get depression from carbs, been looking for a solution since 2018, seen many doctors throughout the years.
