A few years ago I searched on the Internet for information on
allergy/intolerance of peppers and turned up some references that
mentioned some acid content that caused problems of digestion, and
listed some other food items that contained such acids.

All I can find now are marvellous cures based on peppers! Pointers to
ill effects of peppers would be welcomed.

I replying by e-mail, please remove MJK from address. I have this
strange belief that it hinders address collection by spammers (suffered
much at their hands in the past).

"It's all because of acids" is urban legend for just about any
food-related problem. Usually problems with this group of plants
are due to tropane alkaloids, but some are probably protein-
related. See the plant relationships file on my website for the
details of the family.

Tropane alkaloids may reduce acid secretion in the stomach; that
might affect digestion.

I did, and it helped me recall the key factor that I discovered a few
years ago - the Nightshades! Now to see if any of my favourite foods are
on the list under that heading.
