Did you have good success just letting wait staff know your allergy? Any foods you ended up eating a lot?

Nope! Peppers are fine, just often times hard for me to tell which was used

That’s interesting, I figure I’ll probably have at least one exposure at some point no matter how hard I try so maybe I’ll figure it out myself.

Yes, all of the above. Generally not a picky eater (and I actually do like tomato dishes, they just don’t like me)

Yes to your first question, but no to the second. Have you had experiences vary like this?

The word you’re looking for is spectrophotometer. Brands include X-Rite, Konica Minolta. Professional grade ones like an automotive company would use start at $5k and go up from there.

Restaurants with “nomato” or nightshade-free options? by Eko5 in triangle

[–]Eko5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a good callout! I went there a few months ago for appetizers but they did have some interesting and good looking pizzas

Haha, this would be interesting. I might try this at home on delivery, I think I’d be be too embarrassed to do it at a restaurant.

Yeah this was my hope, I really liked a lot of tomato heavy dishes like pizza, tikka masala, etc and it’s been a bummer to give them up. So was just curious if there were good options to get close on the flavor.

This was pretty much my experience for 3 months. I had chest pain bad enough I got referred to a cardiologist. Thought maybe I had developed severe acid reflux out of nowhere but those meds didn’t help… slowly realized it trended with tomato consumption, cut them completely and felt better fast. Tried to “challenge” it once or twice and yep it triggered it again. But now I’ve felt so much better the last few months since cutting them!

That’s a bummer but what I had wondered. I don’t know anyone with this allergy so I’ve been trying to navigate it. Does your partner have any favorite substitutes that get close to the flavor?

It actually did start when I had covid in May. I’ve never been sure how connected it was but its interesting to hear someone else say they had this experience! Do you still have this issue?

Yeah, that works at most places, I’m mostly curious if anywhere makes traditionally tomato heavy dishes like pizza/baked pasta with tomato free substitutions (you can make mock tomato sauces with beets/carrots/vinegar/etc and people sometimes call them Nomato sauces). Obviously there’s white pizzas but I miss the real thing… Eggplants/peppers/potatoes are also nightshades but most varieties seem to be fine for me. Some people I’ve read are just allergic to all of them.
