From: "Frances Ross" <[log in to unmask]> AGE's are produced by caramalising the outside of food - so frying, grilling or roasting at high temperatures is out if you want to avoid them. So far Irish Stew OK unless you brown the top. >For me Irish Stew would not be a good thing to eat. Irish stew doesn't give me any problems...... >Home made tomato sauce was real bad. >cannot eat food that has been cooked or fermented for long periods >the symptoms were not >worth it. Tomato sauce and yogurt is another story...... About a year and a half ago I found that yogurt bothered me a lot, nothing specific, just a general fogginess in the head and tomato sauce has given me joint pains for a lot of years but didn't realize it 'til I went paleo. No big surprise with the nightshade but the homemade yogurt really bothered me. I don't miss it as much as I used to...... Chichen soup is still a feel good food for me. No browning or fermenting, just simmering the contents. Interesting post. Thanks, Oliva
