Nightshade vegetables, such as tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers, can cause joint pain in some individuals due to a compound called solanine.
Solanine has been shown to interfere with certain enzymes in the body, potentially leading to inflammation and joint pain in some people. However, it’s essential to note that not everyone is sensitive to solanine, and nightshade vegetables can be a healthy part of many people’s diets.
If you suspect that nightshade vegetables are causing or worsening your joint pain, try eliminating them from your diet for a few weeks and monitor your symptoms. If your pain improves, you may consider limiting your consumption of nightshade vegetables to maintain better joint health. (7)
