Identifying Nightshade Vegetable Sensitivity

Nightshades, including tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplants, and peppers, may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, heartburn, achy joints, and severe fatigue in people with food intolerance. However, cutting them from your diet is unnecessary unless you have an allergy or intolerance. Nightshades form part of one of the world’s healthiest diets: the Mediterranean diet. It is always safest to meet with a specialist who can create a systematic approach to identifying possible sensitivities while ensuring you maintain a healthy, balanced diet.

Customer Fakes Seafood Allergy to Order Seafood Pasta, Claims Server.

A TikTok video by a server has gone viral, recounting an incident where a customer claimed to have a shellfish allergy but then ordered seafood pasta. The server offered to replace the seafood with chicken, but the customer refused. It later emerged that the customer simply didn't like crab. Research shows that up to 20% of people claim to have a food allergy when they don't actually have one. This can have serious ramifications, as it may make others think that food allergies aren't a big deal.

"Chart helps distinguish between food allergies and sensitivities"

A chart has been created to help distinguish between food allergies and food sensitivities, which can take longer to manifest and are not life-threatening. Symptoms of food sensitivities include irritable bowel syndrome, digestive problems, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, and migraines. A food sensitivity test by YorkTest groups sensitivities into three categories: high reactivity, borderline, and normal reactivity. The test can help identify foods to eliminate from one's diet to alleviate symptoms.
