Default Allergic to potatoes? - 04-11-2009, 01:27 AM

Last summer, I began having some stomach problems and lost a lot of weight ( I weighted about 95 pounds and am 5"2 ) and I was doing some research on the Internet and I saw something about how people who's intestines cannot tolerate gluten, usually, have the symptoms I did. During the period of my stomach aches and rapid weight loss, I noticed that I eaten A LOT of potatoes, all of them deep fried or with Olive oil on them.

So I did a test (because I cannot see a doctor for I have no insurance) and noticed that I would get the shutters and lose a noticeable amount of weight whenever I eat french fries and natural potato chips for an extended period of time, not obsessively eating them, but just more than usual (I love potatoes and french fries and baked potatoes). Then I ate some of my grandmother's baked potatoes (she likes to put Olive oil on everything) and soon after got the shutters again.

Is there anything in the foods which I ate which would cause me to lose weight and get shutters?

FYI Shitters means "I had to go poop really badly".

Every time you're getting the lower-GI symptoms, you have consumed two things: potato and a substantial amount of fat (used to deep fry french fries, potato chips, and added to your grandmother's baked potatoes). Obviously one of these things is bothering your digestive system.

Gluten is found in lots and lots of other foods. For your symptoms to be caused by a gluten intolerance, you'd have to be equally bothered by cereal, bread, pasta, crackers, tortillas, and pretzels, plus chocolate, ice cream, gravy, beer, and most candies. If you can eat those things without symptoms, gluten isn't the problem.

People who eat very low fat diets most of the time--at 95 pounds, possibly you--are often bothered by dietary fat consumed in quantity. If you can eat all the stuff containing wheat, rye, or barley, including flour, then I'd be looking at the fats involved in the foods that make you hurry to the bathroom.

[askance], I know what your going through, losing weight can really be Tiff. Seems like I tied a hundred different diets / programs and nothing was permanent, until I found The Diet Solution Program. I don't know if it will be the right thing for you or not, but it sure was for me.

Good luck.

Medical Discount Plan
ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services.

Individual & Family Health Plans
This is a major health insurance plan for individuals and families. If you are looking for comprehensive long term health insurance coverage for yourself and/or your family members who are 62 years old or younger - this is the plan to choose.

Short Term Medical Plans
This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you're no longer covered under your parents' medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you're employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early. Maybe you've found a new job, but your new employer's group health insurance plan won't kick in until you've been with months.

Common situation you met like many other people,be patient,and check the resource here ?? WNW.HealthInsuranceFree.info ?? i found very useful for me to solve my similar problem.
