Potato Intolerance

Recommended Posts

I am new to this site and I am wondering if anyone has any intollerance to potatoes. I have been having sever stomach problems for over a year now and so I started logging what I was eating and every time I would eat any kind of potato I would be in the bathroom for about 3 or 4 hours with stomach cramping to severe diarrea. I have not been to the doctor, but I have stopped eating potatoes of any kind and I have not had the first stomach problem. Everyone thinks I am crazy. I have lost 20 pds. but I do miss my potatoes. I can eat other starches, just not potatoes.

Can anyone relate or am I crazy?

No, you're not crazy at all. Potatoes are one of my problem foods, and will cause the same symptoms you're having. After not eating them for about a year you may get away with having some about once a month again. I find that I can. But if I get carried away and eat them again the next day, I'll definitely have a problem. And of course, they used to be my favourite food (together with German rye bread :( !

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
