You can refer people to this page with the following short url:
- Tomatoes, tomatillos, gooseberries (huckleberries)
- Eggplant
- White potatoes (sweet potatoes are the root from an entirely different plant. They are ok.)
- Peppers (the veggie) of any kind including: bell and hot peppers, chili powder, cayenne and paprika
- Black and white pepper comes from peppercorns, not peppers- they are OK
Further information:
- Paprika is in all sorts of stuff. Most things that just list “spices” include paprika.
- Potato starch is also in alot of things- watch out for that and “modified food starch.”
- Watch out for “vegetable broth” or “vegetables”. This usually includes potatoes or peppers.
- Read the ingredients list on any prepared, canned or processed food that you use. Don’t assume it’s ok. I can’t eat hot dogs (paprika), certain frozen desserts (potato starch), many deli meats (potato starch), shredded cheese (potato starch), canned soups (“spices” and/or “vegetable broth”) and more.
- Flowers: Petunias are a nightshade
- Drug allergy too: bella donna and mandrake
- Tobacco is a nightshade.
