Nightshades?

Just last week I broke out in hives. All over arms, legs and face. I ended up in the hospital ER. I have been fighting with hives for over a week now, and I am not quite sure, but I think it might be related to nightshades. I looked up the topic and found out what nightshaces are. However, I am not quite sure if sweet potatoes are included in this category. I am having a hard time grasping the fact that I will have to give up a lot of the things I have adjusted to when I found out I had Celiac Disease. Now, again, things will change. What type of bread should I buy? What type of sweets will I bake? What type of crackers will I have to get? Everything I have has potato starch as an ingredient. Not to mention giving up all the spices we use here in South Louisiana, like the cayenne pepper, sweet peppers as a seasoning, etc. Can someone please help?

Sweet potatos aren't in the catagory, thankfully.

I had to give up tomatos because i'm allergic to them and anything spicy due to GERD. Its hard sometimes (i soooo miss tomato sauce), but not to bad. I'm nightshade light due to my allergy and generally only eat potatos on occasion.

Rice flour I have found is quite a good substitute. Corn tortillas can be used in place of bread. Others on here will have other ideas.

A good idea would be to go see an allergist and see what they think is causing the hives. Can't hurt at this point :)

Yeah, potatoes are a big hive producer for me. I believe it's the lectins they contain. I trialled potatoes again, a small bite three days in a row, last week and ended up with atrial afibrillation so I guess they are a permanent no-no for me, along with all the other nightshades. Just might trial some tomato this summer just for verification :P

Hi Wenmin,

There are some KinickKinick products that are potato free. I think it's the hamburger buns but do verify with them.

I also don't eat nightshades, they give me arthritic pain.

Also, be wary of spice blends in things, a lot of them also contain paprika.

It's really best to eat a whole foods, home cooked foods. Ditch processed foods. And according to my own experience with my health, my docs recommendations and the extensive nutritional research I've done, avoiding ALL grains is best.

But don't despair! There is still a lot of yummy food you can eat. Here is a pasta recipe that's wonderful, and this website has really good grain-free baked good recipes too. :)

      Safe and Forbidden lists

      By Julie Max · Posted

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
