Tomatoes??

This thread has changed my life as a result of reading it I did some googling on possible connections between rheumatoid arthritis and tomatoes and as a result have tried giving up tomatoes. It appears my my body has a reaction to to tomatoes as the result within 24 hrs(!) of excluding tomatoes I have experienced a very significant reduction in pain and joint stiffness and so far the improvement is continuing.
However I am now left with a vast hole in my diet.;-(
 
i think you will find tinned
 
Glad you are feeling better. Do you think you could be affected by all nightshade plants or just tomatoes? I hope you are able to find tasty alternatives
 
I can tolerate 200grams of tinned chopped tomatoes in a casserole with plenty of fat, eg belly pork. It's home-grown season now so I have up to 4 cherry tomatoes at a time from the greenhouse with cheese and/or bacon.
The possible link between acidic tomato and aches and pains is interesting.
