Don't know why but my GP said that is what causes pain in an old broken leg for me. 2 or 3 days of eating 2 or 3 tomatoes per day seems to bring my pain on. -- Brad

Not in large amounts, just a slice or two. Had a bottle of wine the night before..

The combination of the two tablets have done the trick for me, inflammation and pain are being kept well in check. -- Take Care. ~~ Feral Al ( @..@) (\- :-P -/) ((.>__oo__<.)) ^^^ % ^^^
