Oh no! I base my food decisions on research. I'm sorry these cause you to flare.
"Studies have found that the elements inside dates have strong antioxidant, anti-tumour, and anti-inflammatory properties." So far so good for me.

As well as being high in sugar/carbs, dates are very high in oxalates, not good for some of us. Turmeric and black pepper are also high in oxalates so I avoid them. Some things that are said to be anti-inflammatory are high oxalate which may be okay for some people but be bad for others, negatively affecting kidneys and joints.
