Answers:
The glycemic index of potatos are through the roof!. In other words, the carbohydrates in the potato and the white flour are the simplest form of carbs!.!.!.like table sugar!. You get the same kind of high (the "comfort") and then the crash, just as though you ate a chocolate bar!.

Considering how severe your crash is, you may want to talk to your doctor and get your blood sugars checked for hypoglycemia or type 2 diabetes!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I love mashed potatoes too!. Had them with dinner today!. Used buttermilk to make them creamy!.!.!.!.!. Ummmm!.

I've had a food allergy/sensitivity test done myself!. To my surprise I have a strong food sensitivity to broccoli and I had to avoid it for a minimum of three months!. I used to love broccoli too!. I don't find it as tasty anymore though!.

Sometimes the foods that we really like and feel we can't live without are foods that our body is addicted to, but causes negative side effects with too much consumption!. (Like withdrawal symptoms from caffeine addiction!.) Try avoiding them for at least a month or three, or asking your doctor to test you for food sensitivities!. Not a skin test, but a blood test, which I think is more sensitive to food sensitivities, not immediate reactions!. If you avoid potatoes for three months (to get them out of your system) and you still have the same reaction, then, you may have a food sensitivity or an allergy to potatoes (or something else that you make them with)!.
