After much thought (and the desire to avoid extra pain) I have decided to eliminate all nightshade vegetables.
This means :
No tomatoes
No eggplamt
No peppers
No potatoes
Really? Yes, really. You see, nightshade vegetables are known as alkaloids, and can impact nerve-muscle function, as well as effect joint function. In other words, no bueno for those of us with this wonderful connective tissue issues. (HA! Tissue----issue. Pretty clever for a chick with cognitive probs, right?)
What can I NOT have (to be added to the already exhaustive list of crap I don't eat anymore)
This crap is getting old, seriously.
With all the other foods I gave up, I had a "Last Supper" or sorts: Ben and Jerry were there, we partied. Now, I'm thinking a major soiree with Red Robin French Fries as the guest of honor. Or In n' Out. Or Wendy's. (Mc D's is out already-those little death sticks contain wheat AND dairy-do they make ANYTHING with whole foods????)
What would your Last Supper be?

- ketchup
- salsa
- hot sauce
- tabasco
- fries
- potato chips (even the Lay's original, that seemed to not have any other things I can't have, and was kind of this great guilty pleasure for me)
- stuff that has potato starch in it-gotta read those labels again!
