I have been avoiding tomatoes as I was led to believe they are inflammatory. I have since read that is a myth so which is the case as i like tomatoes esp in a seeded bread roll with cucumber and lettuce and cheese. I've cut right down on potatoes started eating chicken instead of beef and lamb and started eating more Salmon and Tuna (frozen alas as it's too expensive fresh) I really would like to keep eating tomatoes.

I have tried a few elimination diets over my arthritic years and nothing apart from the meds has 'worked' in terms of reducing inflammation. If you want to establish once and for all whether a foodstuff is a culprit then you have to exclude it for at least three months then gradually reintroduce it, keeping a diary of possible reactions: been there, done that, all deadly dull. Have a little of what you fancy but nothing to excess, we need a variety of nutrients and vitamins for our overall health. DD
some of us have problems with tomatoes , I also have problems with grapes , oranges , apples & lettuce but only a small % are the same , some have problems with lactose & glutens , just try it out yourself
