Hang tough. We are here for you! -adele >> Thank you I guess I am going to have to give up potatoes also. Is there anyone on the list that was able to start out the diet with potatoes? How in the world do we get enough potassium? Maybe by juicing? Anyone know what veggies to juice that would have potassium?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 I cannot have any type of dairy product whatsoever. I get the worst abdominal pains when I eat them. I remember when at my sickest and I was new at figuring out what I could and couldn't eat, I read that I could have yogurt. It gave me these awful pains that I won't even attempt to try to take it even though that was years ago. Alot of people would say that it is lactose intolerance. I don't think it was that at all. The yeast was having a party. I think that if someone says that they are lactose intolerant, they actually have a yeast problem. All I know is that any dairy, including yogurt is not for me, but I wish I could have it terribly. I really liked it. Potatoes I think that everyone's body is different. I don't have a hard time with potatoes as long as I eat it in small amounts and rotate it. But, today I tried non-fat plain yogurt and had a reaction to it. (unless my reaction is to cleaning with soft scrub) I think because it is high in natural sugars. I thought that it would be ok first of all because I read that yogurt is ok and also because of the acidophilus in it. Can any of you eat yogurt? I'm thinking of trying it again at a later time because my reaction could be my chemical sensitivty Carol Send blank message to candidiasis-unsubscribeonelist if you want to UNSUBSCRIBE !

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 , My son had a lactose intolerance problem but he grew out of it. It caused him considerable pain in his stomach after eating dairy, also fatigue, muscle pain and allot of gas. If you get great gas shortly after these symptoms it may be intolerance to lactose.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I can't eat potatoes and others. For me the next day I am inflamed, and achey all over. Potatoes turn to sugar, need b vitamins and proper methylation. Same thing you need to chelate metals. I just completed second round. TD DMPS half doseage with Andy protocol. I felt it and felt improvement after each round. Absolutely incredible. If I had done the recommended dosage and their protocol I'd been hospitalized. Thank God for Andy. : ) Alison.

My son had a long list of phenol intolerances -- mostly the Feingold list: apples, cherries, plums, etc. They made him aggressive and spacey at the same time. Ugly. He had trouble with wheat as well. After about 10 rounds of chelation (Andy's protocol) that went away completely. Since then he can eat any real unprocessed food, but still (we're on round 41) no artificials at all. He still can't eat potato chips, even those on the Feingold list. Not sure what that's about. Nell We assume miracles arrive like bolts from the blue. But most real miracles are built arduously, stone by stone, and only when seen from the perspective of the whole are they revealed to be miraculous.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Furthermore, I wish potatoes would be picked at night and immediately put into protected trucks to keep out of the sun, then placed on display in the middle of a farmer's display at a farmer's market so the sun never touches it or the store puts it out in their bins with a protective roof overhead to keep lights from shining on them. I can never find potatoes that don't have some green under the skin. Have to peel several times over.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Why do you want unrefrigerated potatoes? They refrigerate them to keep them from sprouting because then they start making some toxins. I've never heard of anything against refrigerating potatoes. --- In , " mom4him48 " <mom4him48@...> wrote: > > How do you get potatoes that have not been refrigerated?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just jumping in with my 0.02 - refrigerated potatoes are typically older and I find they don't have the same texture as non-refrigerated ones. All my local stores sit the potatoes out, I just dig to the bottom of the pile to get ones that haven't been exposed to as much light. (I don't peel potatoes, even when making them mashed.) -Lana On 5/16/08, haecklers <haecklers@...> wrote: > > Why do you want unrefrigerated potatoes?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Doesn't the starch start turning to sugar? I've always heard not to refrigerate potatoes, onions, bananas, tomatoes, lots of fruits and veggies. I'm interested in toxins when they start sprouting. Could you elaborate on that, please?

It's completely obnoxious that most stores do not protect potatoes from light. I buy the bigger ones in the paper bag to get less light exposure. The toxin level in the whole potato increase when they start turning green and/or sprouting. It's still pretty low and certainly tolerable if you peel away the green and eyes, but really, why on earth do they keep them to maximize the toxin level? Sheesh!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Kathy, > I'm interested in toxins when they start sprouting. Could you elaborate on > that, please? Potatoes contain toxins called glycoalkaloids, the most abundant and well studied of which is solanine. At high doses it can cause acute toxicity involving diarrhea and even hallucinations. However, these doses are never reached by eating commercial potatoes and acute toxicity has not been described in the US for decades, and was usually from eating potato leaves if I remember right. The toxins are primarily in the peel and are always present in some amount. If the potato starts turning green or sprouting, the toxin levels increase, especially in the peel and just under the peel, but also to some degree in the flesh. There are older closer-to-wild bitter varieties of potatoes that are much more toxic, whereas commercial ones sold here tend to be lower-toxin varieties. The natives of the Andes who eat potatoes as staples eat both bitter toxic varieities and less bitter less toxic varieties. They always peel the potato, but for the bitter varieities they freeze-dry them, thaw them, mash them under foot, and extensively leach them with running water.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thanks Chris! One more question, I'm assuming organic does not necessarily decrease the risk of toxicity when they sprout, correct? I know that my dad always bought " seed " potatoes for planting because " the ones in the grocery store were treated to prevent sprouting " . I buy organic, and they do seem to sprout MUCH faster than when I used to buy conventional. I always wondered why conventional grocery stores covered the potatoes with burlap bags at night.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 WOW! Thanks for all this info. Would buying a box of potatoes be better than a clear bag then as they would have been primarily been stored away from the light sources?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Homegrown potatoes are worlds better than store bought ones, just like tomatoes; I know people who get them from the farm when driving throught New Jersey and they are as good as the ones I grow. If you want really good potatoes and can't grow them yourself (they are pretty easy), then look to buy them right off the farm. I don't think it is JUST cold storage because when I harvest mine they go in the bottom of the refrigerator and they are still much better than the bought ones. > > > > ============= > > Kathy, > > > > > I'm interested in toxins when they start sprouting.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 In the fall I hope I can get some local grown potatoes, not sure. I would like to give them a try before I buy a quanity though just to make sure it is a food we will be able to use. Thanks for the help.
