Hi everyone

I eat some nightshades a few times a week, don't have any noticeable problems from them, interested to hear why people don't want them

Have developed a persistent cough and wheezing lately and believe it is due to nightshades.  I am currently reading up on the subject, journal articles and such.  If glad to be finding answers, but am going to miss tomatoes and peppers!!

I have been trying to figure out why I have been getting small hives once in awhile. I think it is from nightshades. I juiced a lot of tomatoes, with celery, carrots, red bell pepper and noticed my knee ached and I got really itchy.  Although when I got tested for allergies a year ago, they said I had no food allergies. I'll have to keep a journal on what I put into my body & the reaction I get from it. I really like tomatoes, bummer. I'll just eat more fruit.

here is an interesting page:

"An Apparent Relation of Nightshades (Solanaceae) to Arthritis"

Also blueberries and gooseberries have Solanine in them, apparently

So i found out about 6 months ago that 8% of the worlds population has an allergic reaction to the nightshade family...and I happen to be one of them, so this group made me smile :)

As far as I know, the main foods to avoid are tomatoes, potatoes, capsicum (bell pepper) and eggplant???

I would love to hear from anyone who has a similar story :)
