Who might try this

People who suspect a nightshade reaction, or who have a chronic inflammatory condition and want a structured test:

• Autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis. Alkaloids may worsen flares in some people.
• IBD. Some people with Crohn's or ulcerative colitis report fewer symptoms off nightshades.
• Psoriasis or eczema. Worth a time-limited trial if other triggers are already controlled.
• Unexplained joint pain or stiffness.
• AIP. Nightshade elimination is part of the autoimmune protocol.
