I’m 1/4 Scottish and 3/4 French but it comes from my mom’s Quebec francophone side. My wife is of German ancestry. Tomatoes are a night shade and surprisingly common allergen. I react more immediately to them than wheat. Gluten gave me extreme fatigue and brain fog vs tomatoes extreme bloating, indigestion and even vomiting. Most celiacs are also lactose intolerant because they’ve damaged their villi. Basically any foods that are harder to digest seem to affect us more. I’m borderline lactose intolerant (can have cheese, butter and occasional cream in coffee but not straight up milk).
