So I've been staying away from nightshades as much as I can b/c I have found they make me feel icky. I ate a tomato the other day because a friend brought some over from his garden, it wasnt even appealing to me!!! and now just thinking of tomatoes make me feel naucious!

I read that sweet potatoes arent nightshades??? I never really ate them much before, but I've been having them quite regularly now. I cut them in strips, put them on a tray with olive oil and pepper and stick em in the toaster oven on broil untill they get crispy on the edges...mmm....

on the other hand, regular potaoes : the thought makes my stomach churn now! I dunno why, I used to love them, but sweet potatoes are way better. I hope they arent a nightshade...

i don't think they are (but not positive, so don't quote me on that). i love them too! that's my favorite way to eat them. or, wrap one in tinfoil and throw it in the oven for an hour or two. it is so good you don't even need anything on it. i also liked adding them to baked potato soup...i bet it would be good made with just sweet potatoes!

Sweet potatoes are definitely not a nightshade.

Now, if you like fried potatoes, potato chips, mashed potatoes, etc, try taro instead. It is a root vegetable, with a white fleshy inside, just like potato. I actually like the taste better than potato, and of course it's not a nightshade. Taro tastes very much like potato, only it has a slightly sweeter taste, with a hint of what many describe as tasting like water chestnut. The taro chips I made where the crunchiest chips I've ever had! Just make sure to handle the raw taro with rubber cloves, because the oxalate crystals can irritate the skin. Same for sweet potatoes actually, but fortunately, cooking destroys these crystals.

And dont forget plantains. Here in Tampa I can buy them whole and ready to bake with nothing added to them. We have a large Hispanic population that supports these yummy foods. But see if you can get them.

Sweet Potatoes are in the Morning Glory Family. So eat up!!!

I looooove sweet potatoes! I put butter and sour cream on them. My one year old could eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      The only vegetable sources of B12 are some fermented bean products using a certain microbiotic culture. It is next to impossible to get adequate B12 from vegetable sources without supplementation. Same with D3. Some mushrooms can make D3 when exposed to UV light. Are you vegetarian or vegan? Do you do dairy and eggs or no animal products at all? Low B12 and D3 could definitely cause or contribute to many of the symptoms you have been experiencing but would not cause celiac disease. It is more likely the other way around, especially if you are a vegetarian eating no animal products. Many of your symptoms seem neurological in nature. It is well known that the B vitamin complex is vital to neurological health but so is D3. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9820561/

      Grain fed cow milk vs 100% Grass fed cow milk

      Russ, can you link an article supporting your assertion that small amounts of gliadin are detectable in human breast milk? Not doubting you but it would be nice to have the whole text for reference.

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.

      Aah it sucks that there's no definitive way to confirm NCGS or celiac. I've found a GI clinic that is covered by my insurance and I'll contact them after the holidays to setup an appointment. I hope to get some sort of clarity with further tests.
