"As a person frequently prone to various forms of inflammation, is there something I can do to minimize this risk?" I think you should consider fasting - or, at the very least, reducing the size of your "feeding window". This is quite simple, actually - don't have any calories of any kind after dinner, and then wait until noon to have any calories of any kind. Just like that, you've increased by 50% the time your body spends in fasting state. If you think of what your metabolic markers look like when you wake up in the morning (blood pressure, free cholesterol, insulin levels, blood sugar ...) imagine what you're doing for yourself when you extend the length of that state by 50% a few days per week. It's quite easy and I think you may find that markers of inflammation (like eczema, asthma, etc.) decrease in ways they never did with changes in diet. Remember: no matter how "whole" or "healthy" or "nutritious" your diet is, you're still stoking all the fires of metabolism when you eat it - and that radiates out through your entire body.
