I just saw this. Not sure how I missed it. At any rate, the night shades are well known for causing inflammation, (I almost typed inflation! Lol) as well as other not so pleasant side effects due to their toxicity levels. GI tract disturbances, arthritis, insomnia etc.
I have cut way back on how much of them I eat, and I make certain to only eat from one in that family at a time, no mixing. I hate that too because I love eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers.
Here is an article you may find interesting that talks about the nightshades and suggests a 3 month challenge to see if they are a problem for you.

Not sure this is really a question for HP/LC but it does re: Paleo/Primal ways of eating-- so anyone?
