what about nightshade foods?
Posted Friday, September 3, 2010 at 7:55 PM

will this diet avoid the Nightshades - like tomatoes and potatoes? Will the recipes avoid these? There are many conditions that have nightshade intolerance as suspect causes.
Does anyone on this board have any information about this?
I'd appreciate it.
Thank you.

The Kickstart does not intentionally avoid nightshades. However, people will have allergies, intolerances, or food preferences that require them to adjust the menus accordingly. It's to be expected and easy enough to do.

I think there's even a link on the main page each day that talks about the 4 food groups and how to navigate food allergies/sensitivities/issues.

I have trouble with the night shade veggie, but I try to eat them during the day, not at night. They play havock with my arthritis.
