Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Does anyone else have problems with eating tomato based products such as marinara sauce or pizza sauce? Everytime I eat it in a small dosage I get a fever around 101 that lasts for hours. Ironically ketchup doesn't affect me at all, just the stronger tomato products.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 This is probably a long-shot, but does it only happen when eating tomato-based products with bread or pasta (pizza, spaghetti, etc.)? My cousin used to be convinced that he had an issue with tomatoes, but it turns out that he actually has Celiac and it was the gluten that often accompanies tomatoes in the bread, pasta, etc. Our daughter was also diagnosed with Celiac this summer, so it's just on my radar screen right now. Our son has PSC, but he doesn't like tomatoes so I couldn't say if he reacts badly to them. He loves pizza and used to eat it at least once a week, but we don't go out for that anymore since my daughter's diagnosis!!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 All this information is very helpful, thanks everyone! As far as the tomatoes go, I can eat fresh ripe tomatoes, actually I intend on growing some of my own this year. I believe my problem lies in the concentrated version too much of that over loads my system. Along with spicy foods, of which I LOVE and always have. I can eat jalapeno's in small portions. My mistake was the other night I had a pizza loaded with them. Although I only ate half the pizza it was still enough to set me off. Ironically I have rarely ever in my life had acid reflux, but after eating that pizza on Sat afternoon, well Sunday night I had a rough time with it. Nothing ever hits right away for me though it takes time, usually a day or 2 afterwards. As far as vegetables go I eat them all, I love fruits and veggies. I try to eat as many as I can. This has really helped out a lot since getting diagnosed with PSC. Well that and quit drinking alcohol, I have been dry for over 2 1/2 years now, that is something I never thought would happen. Sorry for the long reply I am full of coffee right now and tend to ramble on. Thanks again for all the replies and information!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I’ve not heard that. I raise and eat lots of tomatoes in the summertime and use tomatoes for cooking. Have done this since I was a kid – always loved them. Outside of about a year with acid reflux just prior to transplant I did not have any issues – at least none that I attributed to tomatoes. There are so many different philosophies about what you can and can’t have when you have PSC, UC, a transplant, etc. because of differing treatment thoughts. It can become confusing. I have a liberal doctor when it comes to food and he said that I would know what I couldn’t eat after I tried it a couple of times. The only food I cannot have is grapefruit. From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Alison Greetings, I love tomatoes and Mexican food but was recently told by a naturopath that people with liver problems should stay away from tomatoes and other " red " vegetables or spicy foods like peppers etc. I was told that when the liver is stressed foods like that heat it up worse and can cause more issues... Anyone else heard anything similar? Kind regards, Alison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
