I've experimented with cutting down on consumption of inflammatory foods and it really seems to have improved some of my symptoms (e.g. lifelong problems with constipation). The things that seem to have made the biggest difference are cutting down on gluten and inflammatory oils (canola, sunflower, safflower). However, I have no idea what the science behind inflammatory foods is, this is just my anecdotal experience. So my question is - is there any research and evidence on the impact of inflammatory foods' on the health of our gut microbiome? Are inflammatory foods even a real thing or it's just individual reactions to certain foods?

Thank you so much for your response, the dietary inflammatory index will be a great resource and the app sounds super helpful! Good luck with that!

Thank you so much for the response. I'll definitely look into the research you linked. Can you suggest reputable and reliable places to get the blood and stool tests that you mentioned? Is it widely available for general public?
