Re: Hi and My Story with CFS and probably AF

I have Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome and AF and I can't tolerate grains at all. My doctor thinks Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome has made me extra sensitive to the lectins in grains. I can't digest them no matter how many digestive enzymes I take and they make me sick. However, potatoes are my friend! I also found the low carb diet I had been on made my Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome and AF a hundred times worse. Now I eat lots of steamed sweet potato slices and other root vegetables, and also eat white potatoes in moderation. I feel sooo much better. I also have to watch out for candida, but I've found that going too low carb actually causes me more candida because it messes up my blood sugar. Potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, help keep blood Sugar normalized, when I eat them in small portions throughout the day.
