Avatar n tn Has anyone ever heard of avoiding nightshade vegetables (ie...tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers) and it helping arthritis symptoms?
Avatar m tn In the 1950s, Norman Childers, Ph.D., found that eliminating certain vegetables (known as nightshade vegetables) from the diet could completely eliminate arthritis symptoms in many cases. Nightshade vegetables include tomatoes, potatoes, peppers (including paprika, but not black pepper), eggplants, and tobacco. According to Dr.
483733 tn?1326798446 ve read in some places that the nightshade vegetables can contribute to inflammation. I am personally not believing this and keep them in my diet. What do you think? Food for thought. Some popular diets suggest avoiding eggplants, tomatoes, peppers and potatoes. They’re wrong! By Rhea Seymour Sometimes even vegetables get a bad rap. Take the nightshade vegetables or Solanaceae, a plant family that includes eggplant, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes.

I have made gluten free pizza and about an hour after eating it felt horrible. Could not figure this out and was very frustrated. Yesterday is when I had this revalation as I scrambled a few eggs and added onion, potato and some chicken. About an hour later my body hurt all over.
Avatar m tn ve looked at the photos and other than the obvious (things your vet seems to have dealt with already), I have no idea what it might be, though it does look like an allergy to something. On the subject of his diet - and since the vast majority of allergies are due to diet - I would certainly question the tialpia fish and added salt. I am of course assuming firstly the fish is cooked, not raw.
Avatar f tn The National Multiple Sclerosis Society launched a $1M clinical trial with University of Iowa on the effects of diet on fatigue in MS. One of the diets, a modified paleo diet called The Wahls Protocol, doesn’t include nightshades, grains, eggs, dairy products or legumes. The diet places heavy emphasis on vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. https://www.nationalmssociety.
709686 tn?1277432159 Anyone ever heard of this? Over the past two years I have gone through 3 major diet changes to try and determine what is causing me so much pain. Severe stomach cramps, joint/muscle pain and muscle weakness, severe dizzyness, chest pain, lightheaded, migraine headaches, hands and feet sting/burn and vision problems. I have been fighting everyone of these on a daily basis. These symptoms seemed to come on almost overnight but as I look back they have just been getting worse as time goes by.
Avatar m tn In trying to find a link to fibro with the effects of nightshade vegetables on some people, I read an article that said that a chemical was used to transport electrons in nerves and then was broken down by an enzyme. The enzyme inhibitor effect of cholintesterase (?) made this like a note being played, but never stopping on the nerve end. I can not find that article again and would appreciate any confirmation and thoughts on these subjects.
620060 tn?1235515791 Has anyone found any simple diet changes that have helped fibro symptoms? I am having a really bad few days. I need to find something besides more drugs. I feel like a pill popper. I don't want to take this stuff anymore. I know everyone's different, but maybe there are some diet changes that help most. Any suggestions? Thank you!!
Avatar f tn I've had mri's of my spine and shows osteoarthritis with bone spurs in cervical thoracic and lumbar. This was done in 2007 (i was 35), now i have this horrible tendonitis in both wrists and i'm on prednisone. Could this be related to the arthritis? i'm seeing an ortho but he doesn't know about the osteoarthritis (i was just rereading my reports and it jumped out at me). What should i expect with this diagnosis?
Avatar f tn one suggestion was a low-fiber diet but the dietician i was referred to was completely unable to tell me exactly what that was. another suggestion was o soft diet. does that mean just eat anything and grind it up like babyfood or is it foods that become soft or are soft naturally such as jello & ice cream? where can i find an actual diet to follow?!!! i'm sick & tired of being sick & tired.
140029 tn?1393298142 I just left a message with my allergist asking for a food elimination diet. I 99% sure i'm soy intolerant and suspect corn but I can't find the problem holding me up...(I know there's an allergy section but this one is more active). Hopefully my allergist will respond but sometimes only $$$ motivates doctors (office visit is like $200+ and i'm unemployed with this problem) does anyone know any good elimination diets? I did one but never knew about white potatoes for example..
Avatar f tn ve read quite a few blogs on what worked to get rid of their Psoriasis including avoiding nightshade vegetables, applying transdermal magnesium, optimizing thyroid hormone levels, gluten free diet.... I watched a TV series called The Spa Of Embarrassing Illnesses at the Amanda Hamilton Detox Clinic. One guy named Paul had Psoriasis covering 90% of his body. After the detox (this retreat is both a mental and physical detox) he lost three stone and was free of Psoriasis.
Avatar f tn Wow! Here I am toteing the benefits of an anti-inflamatory diet, and I never knew tomatoes were not recommended on this diet. I haven't found anything one way or another on tomatoes, but it is NOT on the list of recommended veggies. It is not on the list of foods to avoid either....but. Needless to say...I eat a lot of tomatoes.
Avatar m tn Cochicine should only be taken during severe flare-ups. To prevent uric acid build-up, there is a diet on the gout website (no alcohol, red meats, organ meat, turkey, beans, asparagus, nightshade plants (tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplant,) oats, fruit) as well as lifestyle recommendations (no dramatic weight loss.) You can also take allopurinol daily to regulate uric acid levels.
Avatar m tn In the mean time you could consider following an elimination diet. Some foods we are sensitive to can cause the body to have inflammation, make us feel tired and depressed. Mainly Wheat and Dairy. With some people soy,eggs and nightshade vegetables can also cause a problem. The only way to really know it to try the "diet" out and see how you feel. Let me know if you have any other questions I might be able to help you with.
Avatar f tn But, your daughter may have other food sensitivities. It took me going on the basic food elimination diet to find these other foods that were issues for me. ALL the items on the basic food elimination diet ended up being problem foods for me. I feel better by avoiding those foods. My symptoms are 90% non-existent now. The other portion that is left is manageable and will often improve throughout the day, if I follow a plan that works for me.
1459410 tn?1285695005 I have taken ibuprofen for weeks at a time in the past for the osteoarthritis in my jaws. I try to take it sparingly for it now. But I get frequent heartburn and was recently put on cytotec generic, which is supposed to help with stomach lining. I have tried acupuncture, which I thought helped some, herbal heat pack, ice, valium, ibuprofen and wear a flat-planed splint for my jaw osteoarthritis.
Avatar m tn osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition. It is caused by the breakdown of cartilage and is often associated with aging. It can be assisted along the way by injuries. There is no cure for osteoarthritis. Treatments include NSAIDs and pain management, maintaining a normal weight and exercise.
Avatar n tn I had been told to try to eliminate capsaicin and black pepper and red pepper and cayenne and paprika from my diet and possibly eggplant so having a reaction to beet soup surprised me. Then I looked up the nightshade family and found that not only are spices and peppers and eggplant and potatoes and ketchup all come from the same family, but in the sentence that followed it said beets have the same ingredient which is a natural pesticide.
Avatar n tn s my suggestion to helping cope with it all. First - study your diet. Stay away from Nightshade veggies and meat!!!! They increase imflammation and that is a huge part of the pain. .Also try eating as much organic as possible. GMO and all those chemicals break down the immune system which causes a million bad side affects. All of which we cannot afford to tolerate! Use ice instead of the pain meds as often as possible. Meditate about 20 mins a day (you may have to work your way up to that.
Avatar f tn I have had mild osteoarthritis in my right hand, of and on. Now I have knee pain, both knees, elbow pain, foot pain (orthotics (4 diff pairs) haven't helped). Not severe enough to take meds. Have been sleeping on a magnetic mat for 3 years. Doesn't seem to help. Have been going to osteopath, masseur, acupuncturist, nutritionist (treating inflammation). No real relief. Other issue (related?) is poor blood circulation (circulatory disorder). Not overweight (120lbs at 5'4.
Avatar m tn I have osteoarthritis in my neck moderate and mild in lower back. Can and adjusment help? will they even do an adjustment me? i seem to be losing sensativity in my legs but dont know if iy du to oa in back nad neck.any help would be great. thank you.
Avatar n tn I am afraid that I have developed osteoarthritis in my hands, esp. in the thumb joint. I experience pain up to 5 on 1/10 scale, but not swelling. After I ride my bike my hands hurt for several days, maybe the handlebar is too big around. The symptoms developed shortly after I broke my wrist (Collies fracture) two years ago. I realize that if I have this problem it isn't going away. How do I keep the damage to a miminim? I use Ibuprofen for pain with fair results.
513154 tn?1340225289 I have a question about Osteoarthritis and the pain that comes with it. Last November I had 5, 6, and 7 upper vertebra fused together and feel so much better in that way BUT i can't take anti inflammatory medications for my Osteoarthritis, Tylenol doesn't even help a bit and non of the arthritis over the counter meds help either. My question is... is there a non narcotic pain medication that I can take every day? I am 45 years old and very healthy besides my arthritis. thank you!
