Gloria’s Tips
Read labels carefully because you could be doing everything
else right, and still be sabotaged by one small amount of an
ingredient.
Always be suspicious of labels reading “spices,” “vegetable
starch,” “natural flavoring,” “seasonings,” “flavorings,” or
“seasoned salt.” Most of these contain potato starch,
peppers
or tomato in some form. If the ingredients are not specifically listed
individually, don’t use it. Many sufferers have diligently
adhered to their no-nightshade diet, only to experience the same
symptoms from “hidden” ingredients, compounded by toxic
chemical preservatives.
Avoid condiments such as ketchup, Worcestershire® sauce and
most steak, poultry and fish sauces—instead, make them
yourself so you control the ingredients.
Do not lick envelopes - many adhesives contain potato starch
Avoid Homeopathic remedies containing Belladonna (known
as a deadly nightshade).
Note on peppers: The garden pepper should not be confused
with black pepper as a condiment, which is a small berry of a
tropical vine. Black or white pepper does not appear to aggravate
arthritis and inflammatory disorders.
