Hell no, I'm glad I'm not allergic to potato's! Can't miss my fav French Fries, chips, mashed potato and other potato related dishes! Or at least I don't notice any allergy symptons by eating those...-unsure Like to keep it down to 2 food allergies as I love me food! -tongue2 You know, once I'd to interview people who had food allergies for the University of Vienna and another health organisation who were conducting a European survey and some peeps were allergic to almost all the food! -shock One woman was allergic to 12 different types of food products! (Varying from ordinary vegetables, fruits, milk and oatmeal etc) It was so extreme that I still remember this case. Means she can't go out eating and is very limited in her choices of food and often has to bring her own food on special occasions like Christmas dinners. Needs to take extra vitamin pills and medicines for it; it's definately a miserable life if food is very important to you. :(
i didn't think of all the things made from potatoes when i asked that question. Now i think about it, it would be really sucky if i were to be allergic to potatoes... Man it must suck real bad if ppl are alergic to so many foods.... i can't imagine it if i was in the same position....i am just thankful i am not one of those!
I guess it wouldn't be as bad as you may think, being allergic to potatoes... Since many "potatoe based" food items we consume shares few, if not no, chemical make-up as real potatoes... Many french fries are made from this starch mixtures, same goes with chips/crisps (think Lay's, that's the classic example) and ready-made mash'd potatoes...
i hear that nut alergies can be very serious @hiake: i guess u r right, but i think ppl with the alergy might not want to take that risk of eating potato crisps etc.
Yeah some of the French Fries and most of the crisps are partly made of those starch things but it's a diferent thing when you also love the real potato chips/crisps. (I hate chips by Lays and Pringles>>>latter one is just carboard taste 'n structure and I prefer the real crisps by other branches) We're real Potato Eaters over here
^ really i like lays and pringles they're so yummy and not to mention other crisps brands hehee and yups may i join into the potato club hahaha
Sounds like food allergies. I get the same way after eating apples. Wonder if it is more common in asians?
