I'll add my anecdote. Nightshade vegetables, in particular the potato, wreak havoc on my body. Took me years to figure out. I didn't even know what a nightshade was. Every few months I'll start to question my sanity and I'm sure potatoes won't bother me. Without fail, every time, rashes, pain, insomnia, deep depressive thoughts, all within 8 hours of consuming potatoes. It's truly crazy. I still have a hard time believing it. Funny enough, I grew up in Idaho, can't eat potatoes. Sweet potatoes it is!
Sjogrens autoimmune support forums are full of anecdotes from people who discover that nightshades are problematic for them. They will often give a list of good / bad things that work for them.
I find it highly amusing that people who have never heard of AIP diet end up recreating it over and over again.
