Nightshade plants don't bother me either. MSG, aspartame, sugar, preservatives make my pain worse. Carrot and tomato juice or V8 make me feel really good. Fresh veggies and fruits do too. Meat causes inflammation so I avoid it most 99% of the time. I wish I had the strength to cut fruits and veggies and wash them to make smoothies. Vicious cycle. You need the good foods to give you energy, but you need energy to get the foods prepared.
