I have eaten potatoes with a little green. I cut it off. The last time I
ate potatoes with sprouts on them, I got extremely ill. Nobody else in the
family did. Just me. But I also now know that I test as having a potato
intolerance. I have tried since to eat potatoes three times and I got very
ill after eating them but not immediately after. In each case it was 2-3
days later so it makes it difficult for me to tell if that was the problem
or not. However, the last time left me extremely ill for 48 hours so I
highly doubt I that I will eat potatoes again unless a new test shows
otherwise.
