Funny about the nightshades. I quit eating them 6 years ago for awhile and stomach got better muscle pain got better. Then I let it slip back in and did ok for awhile but would never eat potatoes, they killed me. When I got h-pylori we figured out I was allergic to peppers and thought that it was the hot stuff that was hurting me. I recently found out tomatoes were another problem. What's weird is I can eat potatoes now no problem. I think it is because I needed potassium and potatoes are high in potassium. When I went through the removal my blood pressure was 186/104 and potassium will lower the blood pressure. Over the last 6 months my blood pressure has come down to about 140/90. Big improvement, I am watching the potatoes though you never know when it could take a turn. My stomach is not completely healed yet so the allergy to potatoes could return. Anyways just thought I would mention it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kookoo.gif" alt="" />
