I have switched now to canned whole peeled tomatoes, and the leg pains have decreased markedly.
It is also worth noting that "force fed " tomatoes have a larger core and thicker skin.

Raw tomatoes and I don't get along. Not sure why. I'm going to grow my own this year, organic-style. See if it's something added. Apparently, they mess with organic produce, after the fact, as well. Technically, they're GROWN organically but what happens to them after that is anybody's guess.Replied By Farmer (Hometown) on 03/12/2023
Read about the use and effects of copper sulfate when growing tomatoes. It may be the cause.Replied By RY (UT) on 09/08/2023
For around three months, I have been eating lots of tomatoes with all kinds of peppers. I basically eat a rotational diet, but occasionally get a taste for something. Although this may not be causing the leg pain, I will cease for a time to test.Replied By RY (UT) on 09/08/2023
Update: After avoiding them for 12 days, no improvement; in fact, a flare up occurred.
