Cutting out potatoes because of health reasons can feel daunting since it is such a staple in many people’s diets. Part of the autoimmune protocol is to cut out nightshade vegetables, which potatoes belong to. Unfortunately, many people with autoimmune diseases can react to potatoes and other types of nightshade vegetables.
