Re: Do sweet potatoes effect you...       06/15/05 07:15 PM Edit Reply Quote Wind Reged: 04/02/05 Posts: 3178 Sweet potatoes give me the most painful and rude unbearable gas and bloating and cramping. They are too heavy! I think it's the sugars/fructose or something. Lately, though, even a banana makes me feel bloated. But sweet potatoe cramps and gas is just embarrassing and vile and I've sworn off them forever. It's as bad as eating a pear, even in a "safe" way. Carrots do the same thing to me and beets, even though I love them. I don't get a rash, though from the sweet potatoe. I just feel like I'm going to blow up! It's like the sweet potatoe just floats to the top of my stomach like a dead gold fish instead of just swimming through my g.i. tract. It's just this fleshy sediment that feels like it's going to be there forever and ever! Orange food in general, gives me gas/bloating and I'm convinced it's the fructose/sugars and the weight of the actual food. A sweet potatoe in my tummy feels like a brick. I'll take my bowl of rice and safe veggies any day--everyday! If I have even a bowl of oatmeal, I feel like I'm going to fill my shorts or pants or like someone put wood chips in my g.i. tract! Please note, though, that these are my triggers and I'm not by any stretch of the imagination knocking fruit or sugars or sweet potatoes or potatoes or any food. I'm just sharing my experience. Sweet potatoes just don't like me. They make me feel like I'm going to puke, too. Orange squashes and pumpkin does the same thing. I think tubers and roots/winter squashes are off my potential menu forever. Incidentally, Beth, how do you do with sweet potatoe? Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
