Lectins, a type of protein found in many plant foods, can cause damage to the lining of your gastrointestinal tract or your organs and interfere with metabolism when consumed in large amounts, according to a study published in Toxicon in September 2004.
The five food groups containing the most lectins are: 1  Grains: Especially those containing gluten, such as wheat. 2  Legumes: Beans, including soy and peanuts. 3  Dairy: If a dairy animal is fed grain rather than grass fed. 4  Nightshades: Common ones are tomato, potato, eggplant, and pepper. 5  GMO foods: Lectins are durable and toxic. Remove all five high-lectin food groups for a minimum of 2 weeks, ideally for at least 3 weeks. 2  After 3 weeks, introduce one food at a time from one food group. 3  Wait 72 hours before adding another food. 4  During the 72-hour waiting period, document any changes in mind, body, or spirit.
