Unfortunately it is a wicked thing called age.<BR/>Do you remember buying "Lil Debbie cakes" and dang near eating a whole box with several glasses of milk?<BR/>I am nearly in sugar overload when I eat just one now.<BR/><BR/>It is funny how our body changes from one season to the next when we hit a certain age. I haven't figured out what that number is for specific discoveries but the ladies I work with are constantly telling me " just wait till ????? shows up or you feel this way.<BR/><BR/>The worst thing I have been told is that our bodies change every seven years. That was right before I turned 42. Sure enough, some things changed.<BR/><BR/>Like Mom said small amounts every few days or daily to desensitize helps greatly.<BR/><BR/>It would appear that we have crossed that line into "THE OLDER ZONE"<BR/><BR/>StephanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-54613466717100595512007-11-20T14:13:00.000-05:002007-11-20T14:13:00.000-05:00Tomatoes, potatoes, green peppers, eggplant---All ...Tomatoes, potatoes, green peppers, eggplant---All are nightshades, and some people just can't handle them. I have had a sensitivity all my life, and for a long time I avoided them altogether. Then I read somewhere that it was possible to desensitize myself by eating small amounts in carefully controled circumstances, and now I do indulge in all of them. But not in great quantities. I double peel potatoes, because the offending compound is near the skin, and I take the seeds out of fresh tomatoes. (Canned ones don't seem to bother me.)I use green pepper sparingly, mostly in omelets and turkey tetrazini. I'm so sorry you are having this problem--you probably inherited it from me. Jerry has the same difficulty with tomatoes--remember he would never eat pizza or ketchup? It was interesting when you were all home and I had to keep track of who could eat what.<BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-4043088044701386932007-11-20T10:15:00.000-05:002007-11-20T10:15:00.000-05:00Sorry.
