<p>Hi I suffer from Hidradenitis Suppurativa and currently live gluten free. I came across this the other day:</p> <p><a href="http://robbwolf.com/2012/04/09/putting-hidradenitis-suppurativa-remission-paleo/" rel="nofollow">http://robbwolf.com/2012/04/09/putting-hidradenitis-suppurativa-remission-paleo/</a> </p> <p>There is a bit about nightshades in it. Since I have been eating Gluten Free I have been having a lot of omelettes for breakfast including a lot of bell peppers which seems to have induced an outbreak of facial acne. I also eat a lot of tomato based and chilli pepper based food and now wondering what the hell to eat? </p> <p>I also suffer from IBS but don't get tummy ache when I eat a gluten free diet apart I do seem to be able able to cheat with bread with no ill effect and dairy doesn't seem to bother me, but I had a jacket potato with tuna the other day and I immediately felt poorly and my stomach balooned, I am now wondering whether it's not gluten at all and if it is nightshades I have a problem with? Can anyone help?</p> <p>Thanks Michelle </p>

<p>Nightshades contain high levels of alkaloids. This can be problematic for some people but not everyone. The nightshade family is very diverse but includes potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, tamarios, pepinos, pimentos,and paprika. In addition, some eggplants in particular contain some nicotine in their skin. I would recommend a try it and see approach with each one.</p>

<p>I'll quote Robb Wolf on this: try it for 30 days and see what happens? The worst case is that you miss out on some tasty food for a month, the best case is that you heal up. </p>

<p>I had this condition for a few months and was able to trace it back to salicylates -both in topical personal care producst, household and environmental products, and in food. I have to eat a paleo very low salicylate diet. Haven't had a problem since salicylates were eliminated and avoided</p>

<p>Like almost any exclusion diet, once you get going with it you are fine. I started the AI protocol last month and found it actually rather easy and felt great doing it for the two weeks I was able to actually do it. While traveling extensively the past few weeks, I had to reintroduce eggs because my options were so limited (and I also ate all sorts of crap, feel terrible, and am gleefully getting back into a very strict paleo routine). </p> <p>I thought it would be hell to give up my full fat yogurt, but now I don't even think about it. I say give it a try for about two weeks. If it seems too daunting, just give up one thing at a time and see how you fare. My guess, based exclusively on my own experience, is that the nightshades or the egg whites are the culprit of your acne. </p>

<p>Someone with HS claims to heal by staying away from nightshades:</p> <p><a href="http://www.primalgirl.com/2012/03/10/primalgirl-opens-up-hidradenitis-suppurativa-part-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.primalgirl.com/2012/03/10/primalgirl-opens-up-hidradenitis-suppurativa-part-2/</a></p> <p>I too have HS, but don't have anything conclusive about nightshades. I'll start paying more attention to it.</p>
