Thanks, I’ll think about the longer fast. Particularly regarding the arthritis, my biggest problem is the nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant,etc.) At least in my case, the more of those I eat, the worst the symptoms. It is tough because I dearly love them all. I definitely do better when I can minimize those foods.
I too cannot eat nightshades. A tomato a month perhaps. The fasting added to the relief
