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??

Cooking a potato by baking, boiling or microwaving causes the starch molecules to soften and swell. 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?

No, usually with chicken or turkey breast....What about if the boiled potatoes are reheated?

I am watching an episode of doctor Oz and he said potatoes cause gas.

Most starches can produce gas but some are more problematic than others. Generally speaking potatoes are relatively safe for individuals with IBS.
