Potato Vs Potato Chips

Hi!

I'm new still and wondering if anyone else can eat gluten-free potato chips with no problem yet not eat a simple baked potato (with NOTHING but my usual salt) and have it cause intestinal upset? This seems so weird to me as I KNOW I can tolerate Cape Cod lowfat p chips and I also know if I bake my own potato I will have trouble that night. Just wondering...

Are you baking the potato in the skin on the rack in your oven where gluten foods have been cooked?

It is likely the skin that is the culprit here. I am able to eat PEELED white potatoes occasionally, the skin contains high levels of salicylates (and who knows what else that could be causing a reaction in susceptible individuals).

Also, especially baked potatoes, are so starchy, that the body converts them instantly to sugar (faster than white flour products). It is likely that your body can't process the chips as quickly, and so they may cause fewer problems. Just my opinion, of course.

I don't know the reasoning, and I don't have a problem with baked potatoes, but if my stomach is upset, sometimes the only thing I can eat is Ruffles.

Thank you all!!! Ursula, that's very interesting about the salicytes. (I'm sure I just spelled that wrong.) I don't eat the skin because I've assumed it's too rough but maybe just being cooked in it would do it. Boy, the body is a complicated thing! I DO put them on the rack sometimes but the only gluten things that I cook for my family are in pans.

Carla,

That's also so funny about the Ruffles. Sometimes you just have to trust your body to know what it likes and doesn't, I guess. Take care.

Ruffles? That makes me laugh. :) Seems like potato chips would be the worst thing for an upset stomach, but I guess whatever works for you!

Seems strange to me, too, and it's my stomach! I ate so many of them when I was really sick that my husband said I should be the spokesman for them. The bag even matches my car, and I always had a bag of them in my car. I don't think it would have been a profitable campaign though with me there saying I'm eating them because they're fattening and I need to keep my weight up. :lol: If I eat a meal and it's not sitting right with me, sometimes a few chips helps.

I have to laugh, because I eat Ruffles all the time, and if I have an upset stomach, they're one of the foods I can eat that won't make it worse. I eat the Natural ones. But I have no problems with potatoes either.

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
