ok so I've decided to try and reduce nightshade vegies and high oxalic acid vegies from my diet. Its been three days so far and i'm feeling great. Usually my legs cramp at night but for the last two nights I've been cramp free!!
my prob is that I am beginning to crave potatoes and tomatoes. They are my two go-to foods. I eat brown rice pasta with tomato sauce at least twice a week and usually have chips at least as many times.
I don't have any problems with introducing new foods (the ones I can find) - but eliminating tomatoes and potatoes - now thats tough!! A
ny suggestions??

hey my only suggesting is picking up sweet potato fries or chips..or other veggie chips. Terra makes a bunch that aren't made from potato.

As for the tomato, if you can figure out a way to make yoruself stop, please tell me. I'm raised italian...tomatos go with everything for me.

Although with your brown rice, how about soy sauce and make some hot chili sauce...instead of tomato.

OMG I love vegie chips - we have some in Australia that are made from cassava. Best chips in the world (that I've tasted!!)
Also Andrea, Are chili peppers also part of the nightshade family?? Although I do love spicy food.

I actually don't know if they are anightshade. I certainly hope that they aren't, I use the chili sauce all the time.
