Potato Intolerance

Anyone’s child have a potato intolerance. My daughter was completely addicted to them once we started the diet. I realized she hadn’t eaten anything that way since we took away wheat (she could eat a whole bag of goldfish if we let her!) She had been off them for 3 days and her rash started to clear up and she was eating baout a quarter of what she was eating. I decided to check and make sure that it was potatoes that affected her so I gave her some fries tonight.She was like a wild animal. Giggling and laughing all over the place. She was totally oblivious to us calling her-Suddenly, she crashed. She laid on the floor and started to fall asleep! IS this common? I realize we have to give up potatoes, but can it really affect her that much…This diet is already so hard and she refuses all corn and rice things unless I mask them in tomato sauce. Another quick enzyme question…I gave her acidophilus yesterday morning and she drooled really bad all day. I saw some white flakes in her drool and she was real irritable. Could this be a side effect? What can you feed them if they can’t have potatoes?

  1. My son is also intolerant to potatoes but it is a yeast issue. He does fine on the red potatoes if I home fry them. They are lower in sugar than the white potatoes. But he goes off on potato chips, even the lays that are supposed to be gfcf.

    Have you considered it may be yeast issue?
