RE: Nightshades and Arthritis

[Guest guest]

Cathie –

I’ve read this before, that tomatoes

can aggravate the symptoms of arthritis.

L.

****************************************

I recently heard to eliminate nightshades (potatoes,

eggplant,

tomatoes, peppers) from the diet if bothered by achy

joints or

arthritis.

Is there

anything TO this idea?

Peace,

Cathie

Hi Cathie,

Foods from the Solanacea family have a tendency to aggravate arthritis.

But then so does the normal SAD diet that most folks eat. One should

also avoid eggs, bread, dairy, meat, salt, sugar and other acid forming

foods. This also includes cooking these foods.

Peace be with you, Cathie.

Thanks Don,

I"m assuming Solanacea family means nightshades. Will pass the info along...

Thanks Suzi and ,

I've had a bump on the knuckle of my fourth ring finger left hand for some time now. Several months I guess. An internet friend assumed it may be arthritis but I don't believe so. I thought at first it may be a spider bite, but don't now believe so any longer. the knuckle is sore but mostly because of the swelling on top of the knuckle.

No telling what it is at this point.

Peace,

Cathie
