Question: I am Allergic to Potatoes and.?
I am allergic to potatoes and I was wondering if sweet potatoes are ok to eat. I heard that sweet potatoes and yams are the same thing but yams aren't related to sweet potatoes. SO basically am i going to have a reaction to sweet potatoes.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Sweet potatoes and yams are not related. However the light skin or pale sweet potato is related to the white Irish potato, so you may be allergic to that version. The darker sweet potato which resembles the yam is chemically different from the white Irish potato in that it is related more to a flower-type species with a long name. I have had allergy and lactose-intollerant issues. The sweet potato has never caused me problems. The Irish potato has always caused my digestive problems, but not rashing or swelling.
