Re: low fodmap question       02/03/13 04:06 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA The problem is that in North America the term yam and sweet potato are frequently used interchangeably. In fact, true yams from Africa and Asia are unrelated to the sweet potato. Due to this confusion it might be best to treat yams like sweet potatoes. BTW - yams have more insoluble fiber that sweet potatoes. You may find this article Yams or Sweet Potatoes? from the University of Illinois of interest. It discuss how the yam and sweet potato became confused in North America. -------------------- 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
