What test procedure did you use to decide that (winter) squash causes inflammation?veganScientist wrote: I also have a problem with squash, and sweet potatos.
As I stated on the website, I have inflammation reactions only from animal products and "seeds" (in the general sense).So gourds are not an option for me. They are fine for you?
Yes, in the realm of "seeds" (in the general sense), I too noticed that generally the higher the fiber the worse the reaction. Also, generally, the higher the protein, the worse the reaction.

That is explained on my website, which you said you have read. http://anti-itisdiet.blogspot.com/2007/ ... foods.htmlveganScientist wrote: I dont' know how else to test it.
Do you remove the seeds from both winter squashes (such as pumpkin) and summer squashes ("yellow squash") -- or do you eat the seeds?kittyadventures wrote:I am curious about the squash thing.. do all squashes bother you? I can eat winter but not summer squash.

For me, it is seeds that are the problem: grains, nuts, beans, peas, and fruits that have seeds packed in them in such a way they can't be easily removed (figs, for example). I don't have any problems with any squash as long as I remove the seeds.
