Welcome to the board,

There is nothing unique about the nightshade vegetables (actually fruits) and IBS. The foods in this group are not known to be universal IBS triggers. Some things like tomatoes and peppers might be a problem due to insoluble fiber in the seeds/skin and perhaps acidity. However, most people with IBS don't have troubles with peeled, cooked potatoes. Cooking nightshade foods reduces the alkaloid levels very significantly.

Tomato paste and potatoes are part of my staple diet. I don't know what I would do without them

Do you have GERD too? Was this advice given to you by your GP, a GI doctor or an alternative medicine doctor?
