Peanuts

My mild RLS is triggered by eating peanuts. So, eat peanuts during the day, get tingling sensation in my legs at night.

Strange. Haven't heard of that one.

Here's the other side of the peanut story! A cure for RLS!

Peanuts are rich in magnesium - perhaps that is why they help RLS.

Peanuts are what is called "histamine liberators". Many of us RLSers are sensitive to high histamine levels, which exacerbate RLS symptoms. So eating foods that are either high in histamines OR foods that are histamine liberators will exacerbate RLS. Google "foods high in histamines". AND "foods that are histamine liberators" and see if more foods besides peanuts worsen your RLS.. I have both - RLS and histamine intolerance - so I eat low histamine foods and avoids foods that are histamine liberators. Fortunately there are pills you can take 1-10 minutes before eating high histamine foods (one pill is called HISTAZYME available on Amazon) that help to nullify the effects of these foods. Also, all fermented foods are high in histamine. Go to Wikipedia.com and enter "list of fermented foods". You will get an exhaustive list!!
