Defining Nightshades
Nightshade foods are members of the Solanaceae family. There are nightshade vegetables, such as eggplant and peppers, as well as fruits such as tomatoes.
We will have a really helpful pinnable infographic for you in a couple of days; it’s a nightshade foods list.
It can be eye opening when you realize just how many nightshade foods you come into contact with on a daily basis!
Some are commonly known, like tomatoes and peppers. Others may surprise you, such as white potatoes and even tobacco!
The Effects of Inflammation on Health
Numerous medical and scientific studies show that our food choices directly affect our mental and physical health.
If those eating choices are good ones, it typically results in a better sense of well-being. For some people, nightshade foods cause body inflammation, which has a negative effect on their health.
Anti-inflammatory Gluten Free Meal Plans
Later in the month, we will talk about symptoms related to inflammation, as well as how to know if an anti-inflammatory diet meal plan is an option for you to consider.
In just a couple of days, we will release an ALL NEW anti inflammatory gluten free meal plan. Plus, there are nightshade free options for those of you who need them!

I have an issue with the detox salad:
You suggest adding red pepper – it’s a nightshade. Also, you should put an asterisk by the blueberries. While not a nightshade, it does have some of the same chemical components of Solane which is in nightshades and can cause nightshade allergy reactions.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The detox salad should have the note about removing red pepper but we can replace that recipe for another! I wasn’t aware that blueberries contain similar components as Solane. Only goji berry. Do you mind sharing where you found that information? I’d like to research more!

Just emailed you Linda!
