CP147 Lectins and RA

Rheumatoid arthritis and lectins. Lectins in nuts, seeds, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant trigger agglutination — the cross-linking of IgG and IgM antibodies that drives the pathophysiology of RA. This immune complex formation amplifies joint inflammation.
Trial an eight-week lectin-free diet with RA patients. Rheumatoid factor often drops measurably, and joint swelling and pain frequency decrease significantly. Lectin sensitivity is common in this population and easily missed.
