AVOID Tomatoes, a member of the nightshade family – potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, belladonna, tobacco. Some have experienced pain after indulging in a freshly picked ripe and in season tomato. Plants in this family are estrogen producing plants. Nightshade plants contain high amounts of solanine which interferes with calcium absorption and these vegetables are high in potassium and limited as potassium restriction becomes an issue. I have heard that peeling tomatoes and soaking in ice water for an extended time, diminishes their potassium content. Tomatoes contain tiny seeds. These seeds can cause difficulties with diverticuli, a common side symptom from those with PKD.
