I am curious I did ingest black nightshade ( thinking the green ones would ripen on the shelf like tomatoes) . They did seem bitter though and I got a mild stomach ache. Never do this I had been eating the black ripened naturally ones ;they tasted good lol no effect. ( I thought) Maybe ate over a few weeks several at a time maybe once or twice a week, like a few yrs.ago. So later… I have chronic anemia ( no cause as of yet known) . You with what you said probably don’t think this is connected, but I wonder.

Welcome to Mayo a clinic Connect. I think you will find lots of folks willing to share their experiences with you.

I'm curious as well. Why are you eating nightshade berries when there are other sources of the same nutrients? And I would say nightshade, which contains iron, would be an unlikely cause of anemia.
If you are trying to follow a wild-food or forage form of eating, look and see if your diet is providing enough iron and other minerals to prevent anemia.
