Some people do not feel very well after eating nightshade: tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplants. In this article, we will tell you whether these vegetables are actually safe.
How do I know if I have nightshade intolerance
You may experience unpleasant symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, heartburn, fatigue, and joint pain.
To check if this is related to nightshades, simply try eliminating them from your diet and observe how you feel.
If the symptoms go away, you probably have some kind of intolerance to some vegetables.
However, if you do not have allergies and intolerances to such foods, there is no point in eliminating them from your diet.
In addition, intolerance to certain foods may be associated with irritable bowel syndrome.
According to a study published in the journal Nature, the intestines of people with the syndrome quickly become inflamed when injected with certain foods that often cause sensitivities.
Healthy people did not have this reaction.
Which nightshades are not suitable for eating
The family includes both edible and non-edible plants.
For example, tobacco and belladonna are dangerous for humans.
Potatoes can only be poisonous if the vegetable has sprouted or has green spots.
Such potatoes have a high content of the alkaloid solanine, which is toxic to humans.
So throw away sprouted or green potatoes.
