My "allergy" to second-hand tobacco smoke had gotten so bad that it was causing vomitting. A friend of mine suggested I should avoid all nightshade family vegetables because tobacco is a nightshade and I might have sensitivities to all of them. I began avoiding all raw unprocessed nightshades (fresh or raw tomatoes, fresh or raw pepper) and all nightshades as a main ingredient (potato dishes, marinara or tomato sauce or ketsup).
Things have gotten better, so I plan to phase out all nightshades by not buying anymore, including processed foods that use small amounts for flavoring, such as BBQ sauce I'm still eating so far. There is a nightshade-free cookbook for arthritis somebody is peddling online, so I'll get that.
I'm also drinking/eating aloe, kefir, and yogurt to repair damage to my stomach.
Anybody else have thoughts or experience about this?
