A member asked:
I was diagnosed with a white potato allergy and was wondering if i have to avoid all potatoes or can i eat sweet potatoes?

Not necessarily: I'm not sure how you were diagnosed with white potato allergy, but it does not mean you are allergic to sweet potatoes. I would recommend testing with a board certified allergist to confirm these allergies.
