Nightshade fruits and vegtables

[Guest guest]

Is anyone doing the elimination diet of not eating nightshade fruits and

vegetables? I am on week three and starting to feel some relief.

Hi Barb,

I am not, but I tried it 22 years ago when diagnosed. It made no difference

for me, but a person would be a total fool not to experiment with eliminating

these foods, which, for some with arthritis, are real culprits. I hope your

response continues.

What is Nightshade fruits and vegetables? I have severe psoriasis, PA

and also Type 2 Diabetes. I am eating a lot of most veggies,some

fruits, very little meat and no desserts to try and loose about 50

lbs. or so. I weight right now 175 lbs. on a very small frame and it

is causing me a lot of pressure and pain in my muscles and joints.

Mostly my hands,legs and feet. I think if I can loose this excess

weight,I will feel much better.

Hi Barb,

Yes! Of all the diet changes I tried, this was the only that helped.

Tomatoes really make my symptoms worse. Potatoes have only very slight

effect. Eggplant is in between.

> I am on week three and starting to feel some relief.

That seems rather slow. For me, tomatoes have " next-day " effect!

Eliminating them showed improvement after just three days.

Now I wish I would know what else is bad. Lately I have been worse, and

that coincides with my eating lots of wild fruit whish are ripening here

in my little paradise. I don't know which one, if any, is the culprit!

And eliminating them all seems such a waste! But my left foot is in a

condition better suited for a scientific display, than for walking on

it! I have trouble getting it into any sort of shoe.

Still, life goes on... And if anybody wants to know what my little

paradise is about, then look here:

Indeed it's a lot of work for now, but better times shall come! ;-)

> I would love it if you would keep us posted on your progress

I will keep updating the pages about my little paradise, but between all

the work I have to do, sometimes there is no update for weeks.

Well, take a map, look up Chile, and roughly at 38 degrees southern

latitude you will find the Llaima volcano. A bit west of it is the town

of Cherquenco. Further west is the larger town of Vilcun, and even

further west is the city of Temuco. My paradise is located pretty close

to Cherquenco, but with better road connections to Vilcun.

Is that close enough?

And no, there are no nightshades growing in my paradise!
