Alleyface Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I am on day 9 and I had a smashed potato tonight as part of dinner. Now I'm feeling really bloated, anyone else have this issue and red potatoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted September 1, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 1, 2015 It's hard to say if it's from a red potato or something else you ate. There are people who have sensitivities to potatoes, so you could be one of them... it's usually not linked to the color of the potato skin tho... Maybe list a few days of what you've been eating and drinking including portion sizes and we can see if there's something else that might be the culprit?

Alleyface Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thank you for replying, I'm thinking maybe it was just the addition of starch I was thinking about what I have been eating and I don't think I was eating much, or any starch so far. It may be nuts too, but I've been eating those the whole time so far with no issues. So I wrote to see if potatoes could be something:) Yesterday I had a few egg muffins with red bell pepper and scallion in them. (I'm lucky if I can manage any breakfast) Lunch was pork green chili and small beet/orange salad Snack was cashews, sunflower seeds and raisins Dinner pork green chili beets with the citrus dressing(whole30) and smashed red potatoes ( maybe it was the 2 helpings of dinner it was so delicious) Ive been drinking a lot of mineral water and sparkling water (which could also contribute, but it is something I do a lot and it's kind of the norm for me. The mineral waters little bit new but sparkling water has bee before I started this) and I have had a littl Kambucha the past few days The reason I thought it was the potatoes is because I hadn't felt that way until right after that dinner. Anyway, thank you! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted September 2, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2015 It definitely could be a combination of things that finally caused your gut to reach the tipping point. Dried fruit, nuts, fermented food (in greater quantities than you're used to or worked up to), mineral water, sparkling water, seeds, peppers and raw vegetables can all contribute to bloating... Try cutting out the fizzy water and dried fruit and nuts and see how it goes? I really doubt it was the potato... Also, if you're wanting to snack, your meals aren't large enough. Check the template linked in my signature below and try and fashion your meals to mirror the template 3 times a day, getting between 4 and 5 hours between meals. If you're truly hungry between meals (in that you feel you could happily eat steamed fish and broccoli), then eat a mini meal of at least two (ideally three) of the template items (protein, fat, veg).
