Do you think nightshade foods are bad for acne? I think I had a terrible reaction to eggplant . I know tomatoes, potato's tobacco and such are in the nightshade family. Some sites claim they are bad for psoriasis and arthritis, which are inflammatory issues. Do you think so?

Hey thanks so much for replying!
Yes the day after I ate eggplant AND tomatoes I had like 5 or 6 itchy red spots, the kind I get from dairy. I thought it might have been sweets I ate but I don't usually break out from one cupcacke.
I have a friend who is allergic to tomatoes and corn but sdsdhe still had awful break outs despite avoiding them...well she is a smoker, tobacco is a nightshade.
Hey if your skin is clear I wouldn't mess with it...but that's just me.
How are you with peanuts and mushrooms?
