An allergic reaction to food could, or when my immune system gets into overdrive for me I know when my joints hurt I have to calm my immune system (watch what I ate, drink)... Example: Zync > 10mg will drive me into overdrive then joints hurt, Vit D high will too, Echinacia tea, Mushrooms, Also anything w seeds (strawberries....) that is because of colitis......

I've been taking some medicinal mushrooms (turkey tail, etc.) to try to raise NK cells, so that could also be contributing... Not sure if anything yeast/mold related is good for me, but some things might be worse.

thanks
