Its not always potato starch though.

I mostly know this because my daughter is allergic to potatos so we have to only get certain brands of cheese.

This might be the worse allergy I can think of. I didn’t know anyone had this allergy. I am so very sorry to hear this.

Oh its been worse. But at the moment its become down to potato and lettuce. Its all part of her Mastcell related to EDS. Ten years ago when she was in High School basically the only only thing she could and did eat was plain chicken and plain eggs. At this point, with medications, she can mostly eat normal, aside from the potato and lettuce.

I’m glad that you got it under control! I’m still sorry she doesn’t get to enjoy potatoes.
