I know, I know, hardy har har, I live in Ireland, I think I might be allergic to Potatoes, I see the irony :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1:
However, what's weird about it, is I'm not sure I am allergic to potatoes, allergy testing doesn't show any sensitivity in my case, and I can eat potatoes cooked in a variety of ways. Except, that is, for mashed potatoes. I have incredible digestive distress if I even have a couple of mouthfuls of the stuff. Stomach cramps for at least 24 hours, and other less pretty side effects which I'll draw a veil over...
So what the fuck is up with that? I can eat em roasted, chipped, fried, boiled, etc etc, just not mashed....
Anyone else have this or a similar peculiar reaction to some foods when they're prepared in a specific way like this? I'm mystified.
