Confused By Potato

OK this is crazy. I think I might be reacting to potato SKIN. Tater tots didn't bother me but a whole baked potato has gotten me twice. How weird is that?

I don't know what's in the skin...other than iodine.

I'm not sure but the food chemical diet I'm on says to peel them. Might be amines. I don't think I react to iodine. Seafood doesn't cause any issues.

Yes, the skin is not only where most of the nutrient content (other than starch) lies, but see also:

You should also avoid eating potato peels. About 30% to 80% of the toxin content of a potato is in its peel.

That also happens to be where the lectins are, to repel invaders :ph34r: My worst reactions to potatoes were always when I was eating the skins.

That makes a lot of sense, Shroomie. I don't think lectins and autoimmunity play very nice together. :huh:

I'd like to know what does play well with ai. Seriously. Because I'd schedule a play date. Like, yesterday.

Ok. I'll stop being grumpy.

Okay, if you'll stop being grumpy you can come to Nevada for a playdate this summer :D

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
