You might also try dry mustard - whenever I'm making a sauce with paprika, I always use mustard as well.

Mustard, brilliant! I love it in regular baked beans too.

I've been trying to cut nightshades for a trial challenge to see if they affect my pain levels, but in practice it's hard to stay off them entirely! Maybe later.

Mustard is a nightshade? I thought it was a brassica. Or am I misunderstanding?

Oh heh, I skipped a few steps. Mustard is a brassica. I was using paprika (which is a nightshade, but less nightshade-y) as a stand-in for the tomato paste one would usually use for thickening and general flavor, but is more nightshade-y. I have since decided to just challenge nightshades later when I'm done with the whole dairy challenge, because their symptoms are different from the dairy symptoms and also I can't seem to avoid nightshades right now because I keep wanting to eat peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. (In a very informal challenge, raw tomatoes might increase my pain levels. Everything else has been lost in the noise.)
