What To Avoid With A Nightshade Allergy

Published: Feb 23, 2016 · Modified: Jan 18, 2021 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Nightshade sensitivities and allergies are becoming more talked about and mainstream. Not a top 9 allergen, but nightshade allergies can literally be toxic to some and cause a mass of inflammation throughout the body. A category of food to watch for those with autoimmune diseases as inflammation is one of the main reactions. First, nightshades are vegetables and fruits that contain saponins, alkaloids, and lectins. While most people are completely fine digesting these, some are not. Often connected to gluten or dairy intolerances, symptoms of a nightshade intolerance overlap. Symptoms can include: digestive distress (heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, gas, bloating, gurgling, IBS, leaky gut), mood swings, depression, headaches, joint pain or stiffness, muscle aches, insomnia,  malabsorption (iron, calcium, minerals).

Problems with nightshades are mostly seen in Caucasians and is mostly genetic. If you continue to eat nightshades while you have an allergy/intolerance to them or you eat nightshades in abundance, the risk of developing a leaky gut becomes prevalent. Nightshades contain alkaloids (poisonous in large amounts) and saponins which can cause tiny tears in your digestive tracks tissue lining. Lectins can also cause stomach problems, but only in large amounts. Again, most people are fine, but if you only eat nightshades you may end up with leaky gut which can progress to other inflammatory diseases.

These chemicals in nightshades are so similarly linked to the reactions that gluten and dairy can cause, thus, those with digestive issues relating to those foods and continue to have stomach issues may want to take a look at the amount of nightshades they are eating. Autoimmune diseases like celiac, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease (or colitis), grave’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's disease, and lupus, may find additional relief from going nightshade-free. So which food should you actually avoid?

Grab this word search activity to help teach your kids which nightshade terms to look for on packages!

What To Avoid With A Nightshade Allergy | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 A food intolerance that is genetic and causes a host of inflammatory symptoms that can wreak havoc on the digestive system, mood, and cause leaky gut.

So you see the big obvious foods are eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers! No red sauce for you! Also no white potatoes (i.e. Russet, red, baking, fingerling, etc.). However, all sweet potatoes and yams are okay! Load up on the Japanese! It's also a misconception that peppercorn (i.e. black or white pepper, the spices) are a no-no. However, they are NOT nightshades.

Have no fear! There are always substitutions, like making red sauces out of carrots and beets, cauliflower for "mashed" white potatoes, and even ketchup, sauce, and bbq sauce from one of my favorite nightshade-free companies Nomato! Being the ketchup lover that I am, I can tell you, Nomato's ketchup is fantastic!

Feeling extra motivated? Make my HOMEMADE nightshade-free ketchup! Super easy, healthy, and veggie-packed!

So tell me:

+ Are you on or have you ever tried a nightshade-free diet? I would love to hear your story!

    Thank you!!!
    I have a nightshade allergy that presents itself with awful hives. We couldn't figure it out for months because I tested positive for a white potato allergy, but they didnt test for the other things! Research finally helped us figure it out.

    Hi, I have an allergy to nightshades, and it involves inflammation in my underarm and privates apart from a leaky gut. It's the most painful thing to live with. Unfortunately since such a small percentage of people suffer from this, the awareness is less, and the need to find an antidote is even lesser. There is no sureshot way to address this in allopathic medicine system. The only way to live with it is to simply eliminatezll the mentioned ingredients from diet. Being an Indian, this is impossible! Thank you very much for this write up, it will help people who areclueless about this group of alllergens.

    This is a terrific list of foods to avoid if you want to avoid nightshades. It is much longer than we think. Ashwagandaha is one that can be in many supplements/herbals that help with detoxifying so if you are trying to avoid nightshades it is good to be aware of it. I will keep you post as a reference for my health coaching clients.

    Oh wow, I did not know all those foods (mainly potatoes, ALL peppers, and paprika) were night shades! When I started the Elimination Diet I just cut out eggplant and tomatoes (tomatoes are hard to give up!!) but still had gas and the gurgles, but I was still eating all the other stuff. Now I'm going to cut out those and see if it makes a difference...

    My husband is allergic to all parts of wheat, cow's dairy, and chicken eggs, along with some legumes, mushrooms, sesame, and cranberries. I think he would lose his mind if he had to stop eating nightshades, which make up at least a third of our garden. His food allergies cause inflammation of his joints and autoimmune-appearing symptoms. Thanks for the symptom list. My husband has been complaining of several of them lately and it occurs to me that I've been feeding him a lot f legumes that I think he's mot allergic to. Maybe he is. I think I will cut back on them and see what happens.

    Learned about this when looking into Paleo and Whole30 but never had a need to eliminate them, so I haven't. I definitely think and have seen people with autoimmune illness respond really well to a nightshade free diet so it's such great info for people to have!

    Great and informative article! I'm going to be sharing this one. Thanks for helping spread the awareness! So many people are suffering needlessly because it's not one of the Top 8 Allergies, and is often not considered in elimination diets. I've had many people message me about I Say Nomato and say that they KNOW nightshades are a problem, but even their doctors are unaware of it. I need to share my story about this allergy!

    I was just reading about this in my nutrition class last week. I have often wondering particularly about tomatoes affecting me. I've always had a lot of sinus and post nasal drip issues. I thought it was related to my deviated septum and have surgery last year to correct it but it hasn't improved and I notice it flares up when I eat certain foods. I know the post nasal drip has to be allergy, I just haven't been able to figure out what the exact food is yet. I suspect it may be tomatoes though. If you have an insight, please let me know!

    I naturally don't eat many nightshades (except for the occasional tomato in salads) but I don't follow it strictly. I think nightshades and FODMAPS can give people more digestive problems than they realize....people immediately assume gluten is the trigger.

      Yea, that's one of the big things that pisses me off about people who always assume gluten is the devil. It's not and in most cases, even though it's not as glamorous for the media, FODMAPs and smaller things like nightshades could be the culprit.

Perfect Savory Side Dish, Appetizer, or Snack 💖
*
Perfect tostones require the unripe green plantains (got mine from @theboysfarmersmarket), they're super cheap (like 20-30¢), peel, slice, soak them in some water, lime juice, and salt, use your @gowiseusa air fryer to give them the first "fry", then get out your frustrations by smashing them into flat discs with a tostonera or a heavy mug, toss them back in the air fryer to finish getting golden and crispy! Serve with an extra pinch of flaky salt and salsa dips of choice! 👌
