regular potato, white, solanacea

Whats with regular white potato?
Tex, Gabes?
Is it allowed? Due to saponin and lectins alcaloids?

Potatoes are part of the nightshade family. They contain the glycoalkaloids a-solanine, and a-chaconine. Anyone who has a positive rheumatoid factor (RF) test result would probably have fewer arthritis symptoms if they avoid all nightshades. But most of us tolerate potatoes just fine.

Is it true that some alcaloids in potatos are undigestible so they can pass trough membrane or somethin?

Hey David,

IMO, the paleo world kind of turned into a religion for a lot of followers. Like if you can't follow their plan it is blasphemy and ye shall be cast out. Many, such as Rob Wolf, are now saying that diet is not a one size fits all treatment. Tex and Gabes have been saying this for years. Especially in the world of MC, diet is a very individual matter....

long story short - listen to your body

what works for one may not work for another
everyone is different, gut biome, acid, chemistry of the digestion, genetics, imbalances, what soil the crop was planted in, the time between picking and consumption (ie has it been in refrigerated storage for 6 months etc etc
even if you forked out $10,000 in every test about gut health, digestion etc it still may not tell you what foods will settle best
listening to your body is the best indicator

On the C1 test I had a few items listed under the +1 category (and none under 2 and 3 which are more significant/severe). See attached. I need to eat a starch that is GF. White potato is in lesser category 1+. I am wondering if the yellow Yukon potato is safe. I called Enterolab and spoke to Cathy and she said only potatoes with white flesh/inside are to be possibly avoided. I have never had issues with eating potatoes ever as long as they weren't potato chips which are fried (fat was issue if I ate more than a moderate amount. A big potato was always my safe option at a restaurant when I infrequently ate out with family.

I'm losing more weight I need to consider switching from turkey breast tenderloins to something that has more fat in it to gain weight and also to pass a store easier. I might start with chicken both white and dark meat first with its bone broth. Going to try the frozen chicken bone broth first and then chicken that's roasted and frozen in my fridge.

The acid in my throat and stomach started last Sunday up to this Sunday and yesterday Monday no acid. Today it came back but not as severe. Of course it disappointed me. I'm no longer cooking my turkey with salt sense that maybe irritating though the gluten-free chicken broth does have sodium minu i'm no longer cooking my turkey with salt sense that maybe irritating though the gluten-free chicken broth does have sodium in it. I think less salt has helped a bit. Cut out salty rice crackers, so I need to add one new thing for the next few days and then perhaps add yellow potato or soft green beans. Are canned green beans okay?

HI Wen,

Firstly I would rotate Minute Rice it is white and in your 1+ column, I would add Yellow Potato in place of your russet white ones. You need to ditch the Salt Sense it has too many added ingredients in it and start using Hain Sea Salt Iodized it has 2 ingredients period.

You can try the green bean, only you will know how it may or may not react with you, lots of people seem to do fine with a serving of it daily or they rotate it also.

Hope this helps!
Erica

agree with Erica
ditch any salt that has more than 2 ingredients!

I use himalyan sea salt only.
yellow potato or sweet potato might be a better option for you

I have never been good with beans - and would be cautious of canned anything due to additives

Hi

I bought a bag of potatoes called yellow potatoes. It didn't say Yukon. I still have the gastritis and burning in my throat since two Sundays ago except Monday I was very lucky to be acid-free. Today it didn't start to hurt until late afternoon and I was able to go across the street to physical therapy. Gentle stretching heat and cold.

I have bland chicken bone broth that was boiled with the bones and skin and strained. How do you think that will be on a gastritis stomach? I defrosted it yesterday. Going to only try new things for the first or second meal of the day.

I've been on turkey and it's broth for the last three weeks or more plus coconut water chamomile tea and water. I cut out the salty rice crackers because I think salty hurts my stomach more acid wise. I'm wondering about trying the white rice again because originally constipated me because I eat too much of it and then eventually I ate it with the turkey and it gave me terrible bloating and gas. Maybe if I had a small amount it won't be so bad. I have belching and indigestion just from eating turkey and it's broth but bearable. Going to try the yellow potato probably tomorrow.

I saw my G.I. doctor on the 21st which was two weeks after starting the Budesonide 9 mg. He seemed very surprised that I was doing so poorly and had such bad acid which was not responding to Zantac. Can you describe how most people feel after being on a month of the medicine symptom wise? I'm not having diarrhea because all I meeting is turkey and broth. I need to try the potato soon and see my symptoms. He's going to want to scope me both ways if I keep losing weight. He was trying to figure out whether or not I was afraid to eat or perhaps at some point he'll need to decid he was trying to figure out whether or not I was afraid to eat or perhaps at some point in the future he would determine if the medicine is working. The misery I had the first few weeks of the flare is a different kind than now. The burning in my throat and tummy complicates things. I've been a lot more calm this week but it seems to only affect the severity of the acid. The back of my throat has two big red mark on the sides. I really hope my MC improves enough not to have a colonoscopy again because that would weaken me further having to do the prep. The upper endoscopy isn't so bad.

Grateful I got out today for a few hours. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for your reply it's much appreciated.

Wendy

PS would you stick to the 98% fat free turkey breast for another week to see how the potato goes or should I switch to that roasted bland whole chicken I have in the freezer. Also have frozen lamb chops.

PS i'm not sure about the salt you mentioned because I've never used that. Before I stopped adding salt I was using French sea salt that has sea salt and magnesium oxide in it.

Gabes-Apg · Post by **Gabes-Apg** » Wed Jun 28, 2017 5:08 pm

French sea salt sounds a very safe option
