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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
