Hi, You are correct. There are actually delineated "families of foods. these foods are called "nightshade" and include also tobacco--that should be another clue as to why these aren't the best for immune compromised persons. The book "If it's Tuesday, It Must Be Chicken" has the list of food families. It is listed as # 74 the potato family and it includes eggplant ,ground cherry, Peppino(melon pear) pepper)capsicum) bell, sweet, cayenne chili, paprika, pimiento(all under pepper) potato, tobacco tomatilo, tomato and tree tomato. these are all related in protein or molecular structure enough so that a very allergic person may simply have symptoms from all of them and thus need to drop this entire family for 6 months or so. It is fascinating that the same symptoms can be caused from a bell pepper that you get froma potato and this is the reason why.
Everyone with allergies, might want to get a copy of the food families. Each family has several members of "like" foods that the body may see as an allergen. On a rotating diet, one may have one item from every four days. If the family is a popular one and one isn't allergic to these particular foods --that is when tested, you come up with less a 1 or 2 then you may have a food from this family every other day in one cycle. This has been well established for eons. There are a myriad of ways to make meals without using the same family for a motnh at a time, or by substituting a less reactive food in the place of a more reactive food. The book I mentioned before has meals planned by the 3 of the food family for 15 days I believe so you can choose and never use the same food twoce in the period. Doing this you have to have access to more different foods to choose from. I loved Whole Foods for this reason and there is non here--darn/ But, I have elk, venison, bufalo, rabbit, chicken, emu, for meat and 10 different beans, 6 different flours, 5 different oils, 4 different sweeteners and so one. It takes a while to do this, but really helps the allergy load. I am now eating 1 or 2 foods once a day and liquids the rest because I am toxic, both from die-off(which is much improved) and from what we think in the pfisteria plant/algae toxin that one gets from eating contaminated deep water fish like the ahlibut I ate and haven't been well since. So I am doing cleansing and something I hated but is helping is Cholestyramine, a cholesterol lowering "drug" which binds these toxins in the gut. Interesting, but awful. Look out for the source of the fish you eat. I used to eat a lot of fish because each fish is a family of it's own and when you are reactive this is a great way to get protein, for a type O without ever eating the same food twice for a long time.
