I have grown tomatoes and cucumbers in my garden and I eat them as well as store bought with RA and fibromyalgia. I haven't noticed them causing me to feel worse so I haven't eliminated them. I like to use them to make greek salad with homemade greek dressing. it is a simple salad that tastes good and is easy to make on days I'm hurting, add a little chicken and you have a meal.

Gardening and growing your own tomatoes can be a rewarding experience, especially for those with rheumatoid arthritis. According to the knowledge base:

- Gardening Benefits: Gardening and working outside can be part of a healthy lifestyle, providing both physical activity and mental well-being.
- Nutritional Value: Tomatoes are packed with nutrients, including lycopene, which has been studied for its potential health benefits. Lycopene is more bioavailable from tomato paste than from fresh tomatoes, but fresh tomatoes still offer significant nutritional value.

Enjoying garden-grown tomatoes can be a delicious and healthy addition to your diet!

I Soo miss fresh garden grown tomatoes. Just be careful of to much acid and your medications. You don't want to get any ulcers. Enjoy them for me!🍅

I’m SO HAPPY you said that!!! There is a vegetable farm, not far from me. He grows the most delicious fruit and veggies. I’m going to listen to my body and ENJOY them.
