I have been off nightshades for at least three years for my arthritis. I recently read an article from a creditable source that indicated I am losing too many nutrients doing so. I am willing to test them. I had a baked potato last week and had no issues. Today I will have an organic tomato. Peppers - no. I already know they are out for me. Eggplant - not a fan, so not a concern. If I can return to eating potatoes and tomatoes, moderation will be key - an occasional treat.
I am off wheat related gluten and that is not negotiable. That eliminates wheat, barley and two more I can't recall right now.

I'm with you Jan as I love, love spuds in any form and eat lots of them as they have more protassiam than bananas I hear. And as to tomatoes and peppers I use them in most any soups I make during the winter time and of course have to have my salsa at least once a week. I usually pick up a tub of cherry tomatoes and leave them on the kitchen counter and pick one up to eat as I walk by from time to time. Love my tomatoes. Guess I'll have to decide which I love more.....spuds and tomatoes or no arthritis.
i also love cherry toms! i grow several varieties, pick in morning, put bowl on counter and need more next morning. we snack on them as if they were candy
