I tried cutting out lots of things. Eventually I was diagnosed with Nightshade intolerance. I ve had a few hot chips or tomato salsa a couple of times and the pain is back! Phew! The mind boggles when a recurring pain is undiagnosed. Its only been 2 months so Im not sure how its working out in terms of energy. I have low-ish energy levels. My question to y'all: What of tobacco? It s in the nightshade family. Could I also be intolerant to this? :) I love this thread.

Our son is 4years old and suffers intolerances to all those foods too. We are trying EPD. Try researching it, see if it's something you are interested in trying for yourself. It is a series of injections which help desensitise the body to many allergens and intolerances. Good luck. I sympathise. Our son is 4years old and suffers intolerances to all those foods too.

I suffered with severe back pain and joint pain for years before discovering the humble potato was the cause!! It is incredibly hard to avoid completely as potato starch appears to be in everything!!

I have arthritus since a child (am now 45) and IBT. not eating pots has cleared my mind of the fog i had accepted as 'me', my terrible memory is improving, my sluggishness, joint pain and that lumpy fat around your thighs (!) is all improving. I am going to now control similar food groups eg tomato, pepper to see how much it helps. i was forced to address the problem after having an undiagnosed anaphalactic episode 18mths ago, and then aggrivation(problems breathing and eye tissue swelling) from potato flour exposure(I am a special dietery chef). lets hope we all improve as we learn more.x HI there,

I have not been tested yet, but I have been struggling for years with symptoms including: bloating, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, severe energy crashes, skin rash/itchiness and mental cloudiness. The symptoms occur within 15 minutes of eating potatoes in any form. I can't even eat a stew if it had potatoes cooked in it. I also have trouble with white rice, breads an pasta. I don't have any problem with wheat versions of these foods. I am making an appointment with my doctor this week! I am so happy that I found this thread.

Same with rum since I have a fruit/cane sugar intolerance and rum is made from cane sugar. Many vodkas are made from grain (corn) or grapes. I have not found a comprehensive list of these vodkas but I check the bottle now! Hi Stacey,

My naturopath in Portland, Oregon (USA) diagnosed me with a potato intolerance and a fruit/cane sugar within 6 hours intolerance. I didn't know that it was common for people to have one of each. Do you have any particular brand/food recommendations? I am checking labels but it would be nice to have some specific recommendations. I am looking for a list, perhaps. Thanks!

Dextrose is a potato sugar derivative often found in canned foods, bacon, lunch meats, ham, and iodized salt. It's something that should ideally be avoided by people with a potato intolerance.
