Fibro, inflammation and veggies

PegZo

Hi everyone! I read all of the discussions on here and I have learned so much! Thank you to all of you.
It was brought to my attention today from another friend who suffers from inflammation that there may be a match between fibro pain and inflammation and eating vegtables.
Does anyone else find that when they eat veggies they suffer more pain?

Which veggies effect your thyroid and what does the thyroid have to do with inflammation?

Broccoli, couliflour, asparagus, cabbage I know I am going to forget a few I from the list, but I listed what I eat, cooking helps lower any problems, I was eating a lot of those all winter raw thinking eat good, wrong...I made veggie trays every Sunday for football then Basketball started more raw fresh veggies...funny now I have a thyroid problem. but I think it was just a I had it before so I am just joking but these veggies can increase a goiter issue.

They say that the nightshade veggies can have a bad affect on FMers.

Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, tamarios, pepinos, pimentos, paprika, cayenne, and Tabasco sauce are classified as nightshade foods.

A particular group of substances in these foods, called alkaloids, can impact nerve-muscle function and digestive function in animals and humans, and may also be able to compromise joint function.

All of those (nightshade) effect me negatively except the tomatoes, or at least I haven't noticed that they do anything to me.

Raw veggies and veggies with acids make me me have heartburn and acid reflux symptoms like pain in my arm and between my shoulder blades so I ignore them.

Acid reflux is more then just heartburn it causes pain else where also

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
