Re: potatoes a problem? Am I missing something???

[Guest guest]

I am sure it is not the same situation, but my child cannot eat white potatoes.

They cause extreme digestive distress. I read somewhere that they can cause

gastrointestinal inflamation in certain individuals.

Hi everyone,

Any idea why a mom friend of mine who goes to the same DAN doctor as I would

have been advised NOT to allow her son any form of potatoes (regular or sweet

potatoes)

There is a suspicion of possible seizure in his case, so perhaps it is due to

that-- a ketogenic or Atkins type low carb diet???

My son also has suspected (tho never confirmed by multiple EEGs) absence

seizures. I am concerned as I do give him lots and lots of french fries and

chips.

Is there any other reason you guys may know of to exclude or limit potatoes in a

GFCF diet? My son also does have yeast issues, so obviously they're not great

from that standpoint either.... Just wondering if I am missing something else

and how seriously to take this!

Thank you all for any insight!!!

HTH, Alisa

White potato is a member of the nightshade family -allergy for many. Both white

and sweet are fairly high in oxalates.

At my house, my son did not tolerate regular potatoes except with Zyme Prime

enzyme.

He did not tolerate sweet potatoes or anything else orange, until I corrected

his carotene conversion problem.

For me it depends on how they are seasoned,or cooked.Corn oil causes a major

regressive food reaction.

What was used for his carotene conversion? Enzymes..

Do you have the same problem with corn? What about other oils?

Enzymes did nothing for my son's carotene conversion problem. He needed zinc,

vitamin C, selenium, tyrosine, and iodine.

All corn products.I cannot diget coconut oil.All others are fine.

Corn, and anything orange or green, were my son's worst problem foods. His body

did not convert carotenes into vitamin A, so these foods caused carotene

poisoning, which looked like brain poisoning. It required zinc, vitamin C, and

thyroid support [selenium, tyrosine, and iodine] before my son tolerated those

foods.

Dana

[Guest guest]

I am glad to see someone else with corn as their worst food problem.

What does brain poisoning look like? In fact, how did you know when your kids

couldn't tolerate something(like calcium and probiotics). What kind of symptoms

did they have with the yellow and green foods? My son use to eat corn, but now

refuses it.

We recently started giving calcium because he doesn't drink milk. He is acting

off the wall goofy again, talking about dust in the air, doors can't be open, to

speak the word water sends him on a tangent, bangs the lid down on his portable

dvd player(which he use to love), etc.

I am sure you probably have this info on your website but I can't find it? If it

is in your book, I need to get it so I won't keep asking you the same stuff

again.

Everything with me is GI pain,and malabsorption followed by  regression.The

worse the GI symptoms the worse the regression.It progresses from vocal stimming

to hand flapping,to eloping to head banging,in that order.

:

I have a son who cannot tolerate corn. He gets so mean and nasty - he hits, he

yells, it's horrible. My son has adhd and is tremendously effected by the foods

he eats. It is very difficult for me and for him. He is six.

The strange thing, though corn is so bad for him and corn syrup is like death -

he rants and raves and cries for hours, it hurts his head, he says - it's

horrible, it's like a baby throwing a fit for hours straight, cannot be consoled

-- he can eat organic popcorn with no problem.

I think my son is like you - I know you have said lots of different substances

affect how you feel and I can tie a lot of my son's behaviors with different

foods. The problem is he wouldn't get any nutrition if I didn't feed him some

of the foods!

Good luck to you!

:

have you tried the body ecology diet? I think my son has the same issues as

you. He has a lot of nutritional deficiencies, though I give him lots of

expensive, good vitamins, minerals and oils.

On concerta, his behavior improves but he completely stopped eating and

drinking. He also had a lot of acid reflux and bad tummy aches (he said even

water hurt).

a digestive health expert put him on a stabilized rice bran and pea protein

powder, which seems to have helped some because he is now eating and drinking

again and the sores on his toes and fingers are going away. But, life is a

daily struggle for me to try to help him control these behaviors and symptoms.

He has a horrible digestive system and doesn't absorb well - then all these

sensitivities on top of that.

And he's an inteligent guy - has a lot to offer when these symptoms aren't

overriding his beautiful personality!

Corn, and anything else with carotenes, were my son's worst food problem.

It was soooooooo nice when I corrected his carotene conversion problem so that

he could eat them again. Corn is in everything.

Good luck.

Dana

[Guest guest]

> What does brain poisoning look like?

For my son, he would be sitting nicely, coloring a picture, watching a video, or

reading a book. If I gave him something containing corn, within 10 minutes he

would morph into Mr. Hyde, vacant stare, screeching, flapping, hitting his head,

ODD, behavior problems.

>>In fact, how did you know when your kids couldn't tolerate something(like

calcium and probiotics).

Each problem item had its own set of negative symptoms.

For calcium, extreme hyper and spaciness, behavior problems.

For probiotics, vacant stare, behavior issues.

>>What kind of symptoms did they have with the yellow and green foods? My son

use to eat corn, but now refuses it.

Same symptoms as corn above. When he was an infant, he would have burning

diarrhea [looked like 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his bottom].

My #3 refused foods that caused him problems.

off the wall goofy again, talking about dust in the air, doors can't be open, to

My son was calcium toxic. I had to give IP6 to remove the excess calcium, and

then give him the supplements that calcium requires for proper absorption, which

for my son were magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K, and lysine.

Dana

[Guest guest]

How would I know if my son has a Carotene problem? His IgG results show

sensitivities to asparagus, avacado, cantaloupe, carrot, celery, coconut, corn,

eggplant, grapefruit, lemon, lettuce, orange, green pea, tomato, watermelon.

Could this mean that he does have a carotene problem? if so, where do i start

for a 3 1/2 year old/ 33lbs? Thanks for any advice. Sandy

Dana, how did you come to know which foods were the cuprets, and how did you

figure out that your son needed those specific supplements to tolerate those

foods? Especially the thyroid support. Was is all trial and error or did someone

guide you to those products?

Amazed and in awe of all your knowledge and hard work,

[Guest guest]

, this sounds like my son. When his stools are normal, he begins to improve

in all areas. When he as a bad few days or weeks with loose, nasty stools, he

has tantrums, increased stimming, and his talking decreases. My son can't

verbalize pain or symptoms, so we just go by his poop. We have no idea what

foods are causing this. We've already eliminated gluten, casein, grape juice,

apples, most processed foods except for the GF snacks we buy. He'll have a

perfect week with his diet, and he'll still have a bad run. Or he'll eat new

foods and be fine. Or he'll eat new foods and several days later it's bad again.

he takes enzymes with every meal and large snacks. Any advise from one whose

been there?

[Guest guest]

Did you eliminate gluten entirely from your house? I've found that so much as

one crumb, one speck of flour, one tiny mistake will do that to my son for an

entire week.

If he eats food prepared with wooden spoons used in gluten-containing food, he

gets sick. If he eats food prepared in a non-stick pan that was previously used

for gluten foods, EVEN IF IT'S BEEN THROUGH THE DISHWASHER, he gets sick.

As little as 5 parts per million of gluten is enough to make my son tantrum,

head-bang, have insomnia, and the runs for a whole week.

Remove everything orange and green from his diet. Certain reds and yellows also

[like corn].

Or give carotene conversion supps and see if that helps.

Try giving zinc, vitamin c, selenium, tyrosine, and iodine.
