I'm intolerant of sweet peppers. I can eat a jalapeno like an apple, but if I eat a bell pepper (no matter the color) or those sweet lunch box peppers I'll be running to the bathroom within half an hour. I love the taste of bell peppers and sometimes I eat them anyway and take the pain, but I'd like to, you know, not.
I also love hot sauces and pepper relishes, but they all seem to be full of bell pepper like the two below. I'm assuming that these recipes use the bell pepper for bulk since it would be too intense if you only used hot peppers, so just adding more hot pepper instead of bell seems too spicy. And adding a more mild pepper like Anaheim or poblano would taste way too "green" when red bells are called for. Any suggestions?

Red jalapeños. Check the Mexican stores and the larger flea markets. Also, green habañeros. They are far milder than the ripe ones but still have their fruity flavor.
This sounds like an insecticide allergy as much as a food allergy?

Have you tried the not spicy spicy pepper seeds like coolapeños? I don’t know about commercially bought but if you can stand normal jalapenos then I would think the non spicy version would be fine since it’s not really a sweet pepper?
