Is there any authoritative source on nightshades and inflammation/digestive issues?
After extensive testing, I believe they cause serious issues for me (fatigue, bowel issues, etc)
But when I search for info, I just find sites from sort of woo-woo sources. (Chiropractors, naturopaths, etc)
I'd like to read something more definitive. Both for my own purposes, and also to point people to, as the category itself makes people skeptical.
Spicy food, sure, people get that. But potatoes? That's a weird one for most.
- halfjoking 9y agoNope. The only studies are in mice/rats. I was disappointed that The Plant Paradox "references" linked to articles on the web like this: https://www.dietvsdisease.org/nightshade-vegetables/ https://www.dietvsdisease.org/nightshade-vegetables/
- graeme 9y agoI see. What's your personal view on eliminating them? I'm trying to rule out the possibility that I've given myself a nocebo effect. (I've had enough cases where I didn't realize something was a nightshade and I had a bad effect from it that I don't think I'm merely fooling myself, but the quality of articles about it is disturbing). What did the rodent studies find?
