Curly Pasta with Artichokes and Sardines
Curly Pasta with Artichokes and Sardines......recipe follows.
Received notification from noarthritis.com and am glad to have found your website. I'm just starting to read your blog and saw this recipe which I wanted to warn you about. My research turned up several food sources that are not nightshades, but share one of the same glyco-alkaloids that are present in nightshades, namely solanine. These foods are apples, blueberries, ARTICHOKE and okra. (The artichoke info found here: Principles of Human Nutrition by Martin Eastwood.
Also, though he's not completely clued in to nightshades, Dr. Neal Barnard has an excellent book that discusses food triggers and arthritis pain. For some reason, he only lists 2 of the nightshades on his top 10 foods list that trigger arthritic pain, but his comments and research references about how people react to certain foods are interesting. Title of his book is Foods That Fight Pain. Jennifer In addition to avoiding nightshades/solanine containing foods, I am also eating a vegan diet 90% of time. When I can stay this stringent, I have no pain, when I stray and start eating dairy or meat, mild pain
