Oh, another nightshade victim! I don't feel so alone now!
It is amazing how being intolerant to this food family can cause such discomfort and grief! The potatoes are the worst for me.
But peppers of any kind now upset my GI tract terribly. And concentrated tomato products are out too. I can have a small bit of fresh tomato with little problem however.
The potatoes have the most solanine of them all.. so that might be the culprit. Processed potatoes also may be composed of some green ones, since no one can see them. Those have the highest concentration of solanine!
When I was eating potatoes still, the burning would go up my lower legs to the knees sometimes! It was so alarming!
