Pages: 1 Potatoes?       #368728 - 12/04/12 07:41 AM Edit Reply Quote shelgirl Reged: 09/22/09 Posts: 205 Loc: Wisconsin I know the way one prepares food can make a difference in how it is digested/tolerated, etc..but, I was wondering about cooking potatoes. Specifically, when I eat baked potatoes I have no problems whatsoever, but, when I eat boiled potatoes I seem to have terrible gas about an hour later. Is there anything to this or is it my imagination?? -------------------- IBS-D. Eating gluten and dairy free.

It shouldn't make any difference how you cook a potato. Presumably you are eating boiled potatoes without the skins. Are you eating the boiled potato with different foods that the baked potato? -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Potatoes?       #368735 - 12/04/12 09:43 AM Edit Reply Quote shelgirl Reged: 09/22/09 Posts: 205 Loc: Wisconsin No, usually with chicken or turkey breast....What about if the boiled potatoes are reheated? -------------------- IBS-D.
