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.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
