Holistic medicine approach to PMR

Lectins affect some people more than others. I'm eating low lectin and low oxalate and quite a few foods have high levels of both.

You're right about potatoes. Years ago we always peeled them and boiled them to mushy and tipped the water off which removed a lot of the lectins. I was eating tomatoes but removing the seeds where most of the lectins are, but it got too fiddly so now I don't eat them. When I drank years ago I had to avoid red wine which gave me a headache, blocked nose and bright red face, likely from the sulphites and higher histamines in it. As you say, what works for one person doesn't for another.

Ah yes, Dr. Gundry's lectin thesis and its restrictive dietary requirements. The phrase "damned if you do and damned if you don't" comes to mind.
