I would hate to have a problem with nightshades. I'm already horribly allergic to casein, and lactose intolerant, and I don't tolerate eggs very well, either (neither the yolks nor the whites). A problem with nightshades would mean that I'd have to avoid nearly everything else, and tomatoes and bell peppers are basically two of my staple foods. :(
I more or less can't live without onions, garlic, tomatoes, lentils, chick peas, and meat, which is sounding like a pretty good soup, actually. :)
It does sound like a good soup! (no on the tomatoes..... :-( )
I know you have that problem with casein and lactose; didn't know about the eggs. But you don't have fibromyalgia and D'G and I both do. I think the nightshades and vegetarianism may be problematic for those of us who inhabit the fibro-fog. Also, for those of us with genetic susceptibility to type 2 diabetes, potatoes are a bad food choice.
Actually, if you couldn't eat nightshades, you'd still have flesh protein, legumes, nuts, fruits, most roots and green veggies. That isn't bad.
But you don't have fibromyalgia and D'G and I both do.
As do I.

Nightshades have no effect on me that I can tell, I just hate most of them except potatoes. (To the point where stewed tomatoes my mom forced me to eat once came right back up while I was still at the table.)
Meat consumption has no effect on my fog level, but if I go without animal protein more than a day and a half or so, I get horrible headaches. I'm sympathetic to vegetarians, but I was clearly never meant to be one.
