Hi ,

Could you send me this mashed cauliflower recipe? I've never had potatoes,

not necessarily because I'm diabetic, but because I'm allergic to potatoes!

(I think that's a blessing in disguise as I've never eaten/tasted mashed

potatoes so don't see what the big fuss over them is!) I'd be interested in

trying this cauliflower substitute!

Wow! I've never in my life heard of another person who's allergic to

potatoes! Most people think it's weird or that I'm joking when I tell them!

My allergy has definitely gotten less severe since I was younger (they

figured it out when I was 4 or 5, basically as soon as I was old enough to

eat potatoes), so maybe by the time I'm 90 I'll have outgrown it. When I was

younger tomatoes and a few other foods used to cause a similar reaction, but

I've long outgrown those ones.

It's an annoying thing to be allergic to, though, simply because potatoes in

some form or another are in so many foods. Even if I eat something with

potato starch or some other ingredient that isn't really potato, but that's

made or extracted from potato in it without knowing, I can tell within

minutes. I'm just glad my allergy isn't bad enough to cause anaphylactic

shock or anything else that taking some Benadryl and waiting it out doesn't

take care of.

Another allergy people have is an allergy to wheat. This might be a good

thing for diabetics (smile), but can a big problem as wheat is used in many,

many things besides breads and cookies.

When I was allergic to potatoes, I didn't notice any reaction as long as

I was well. However, when sick -- say, with a sore throat -- the

symptoms wouldn't go away until I stopped eating the potatoes.

carbs and sickness...

carbs are bad if you are sick regardless of what they are. They feed bad

bacteria in your body since they break down to yeast and so forth in the body

and the bad bacteria feed off of it. I back off all carbs when I am sick and eat

healthy frozen veggies and meats/nuts to give my immune system a booste. I also

do not eat canned foods with preservatives since it breaks down the immune

system as well.

I rarely eat artificial sweetener, regardless of the brand, since it is a

foreign substance and your body has to work harder to get rid of it and that can

lead to a weaker immune system as well.

I follow this advice to the best of my ability each day. Last winter I was never

sick with my wife and kids falling over sick all around me.

There really are smart ways to strengthen yoru imune system.

Don't even let me get off on milk and how it has anti biotics in it from the

cows *sigh* which lesson our immune system... all natural goat milk doesn't have

it in it!

Before anyone asks, no I dont' drink goat milk and yes, I drink the cow milk but

shouldn't.
