Keith, based on the original post on this, I eliminated potatoes &
tomatoes (almost all, just an occasional lapse) and my knees have been
feeling a whole lot better than they were over the Christmas holidays -
I was seriously contemplating a knee replacement this spring.
HI KEN,
Ooops. had the CAPS key down...
I'm glad to hear it!
It's amazing how cutting "most of it" out will show improvements!
IOW, you apparently don't have to be so absolute in your shunning of all
nightshade plant family products as you might imagine.
I suppose if I was more rigid in my not eating potatoes and strictly
avoiding tomatoes in any form, I might be rid of even *more* pain and
stiffness.
I mean I finally managed to cut out cigarettes totally, so I CAN adhere
to an onerous "diet" for the betterment of life. But...how much better
is it to cut out everything you love to eat?
Try it, Keith. NO pain. I don't have a problem being selective in what I eat
for the rest of my life.
Got you.
The potatoes are the killer.
I love tomato sauce, but can switch if need be, to Northern Italian fare.
Pasta needs a little kick. I'll manage.
But how do you make a Bloody Mary without tomato juice?
But potatoes? I can give up fries, but potato salad? Never heard of sweet
potato or yam salad...
I suppose I can substitute rice for the starch servings. I do like rice...
That wouldn't hurt my feelings at all! <g>
