Wow! I never even considered that the horrible burning in my legs could be influenced by what I eat. I always feel confused when the burning is bad one night, but I have no burning other nights. I need to keep a journal that contains what I ate that day. Tomato meat sauce gives me diarrhea, so I try to avoid that, but I do love nightshade vegetables. Hmmmm. Thanks for your post.

I have been told by a dietitian to avoid nightshade vegetables red meat and pork. I will be truthful it comes and goes. Sometimes I have problems with tomatoes and other times I don’t. I normally eat flounder or sea bass with cucumber and tomatoes. Hush puppies I use an air fryer to cook. No problem if I eat cucumber and tomatoes with red meat I stay up all night in pain. I avoid red meat and pork. The protein in red meat is hard on the liver along with the kidneys. Red meat really hurts me (all over) so does pork. Chicken, turkey breast and fish, some seafood (shrimp, scallops, and lobster no problems) nothing fried. Fried makes it worse. I cook the scallops in lemon juice. The shrimp steamed in the seafood department along with the lobster or sometimes I steam it myself.
Berries are supposed to help. I eat a lot of berries my downfall. Strawberries raspberries blueberries blackberries.
I love watermelon but I discovered sometimes I hurt more after eating a lot of watermelon. Truthfully, I don’t believe there is a clear answer to getting rid of the pain. I have been trying to eat low glycemic foods like the dietician said. I do not have diabetes. There’s more research in neuropathy with diabetes than those that are not diabetic I have noticed. Reading the American Journal of medicine or neurology.
