Potatoes make me feel like i've eaten a huge cake slice or soda. i had some for dinner and had to pee 5 times that night. why is this happening?

High Energy: Potatoes contain starch which is a high energy diet, so extra starch is converted into glucose and then extra glucose excretes through urine.
