Vegetable gums causing inflammation?

I've dealt with frequent urination and pain for 20 plus years. I think I may have finally found the cause -- vegetable gums such as guar, xantham, carrageenan, etc. that is in almost all of the "healthy" food that I started eating 20 years ago due to lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity. I've just come across articles that say that such gums may inflame the prostate and cause problems. Anyone out there have similar problems? Did eliminating gums solve it? How long did it take? THANK YOU!
