Rosemary Roasted Potatoes (Low FODMAP, Gluten-Free, Vegan)

August 13, 2016 By Riley 2 Comments

Potatoes have gotten a bad rap.  But the truth is, they are actually a rich source of some essential nutrients.  Now, I am not telling you french fries are healthy.  But it isn’t the potato I am blaming.  And let’s not forget about moderation here…

Low FODMAP Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

Nutrients in 1 medium (red) potato [1]:

Vitamins & Minerals:

I find that people are often surprised that potatoes are a good source of several essential vitamins and minerals.  Take a look at the nutrients supplied by just 1 medium red potato (2.25-3.25 inches in diameter)

  • Vitamin B6- 0.362 mg (~28% of adult RDA)
  • Vitamin C- 18.3 mg (~24% of adult RDA)
  • Potassium- 969 mg (~20% of adult RDA)
  • Magnesium- 47 mg (~15% of adult female RDA)
  • Traces of calcium & iron

Carbohydrates:

Now, let’s make sure we address the issue of carbohydrates.  Because it is a genuine concern.

There is little question that those following a standard american diet (SAD) are obtaining excessive amounts of carbohydrates in the form of sugar-sweetened beverages, cereals, breads, energy bars, and other processed foods.  Adding potatoes to the mix might not be the best bet for this group.  But switching from refined & processed carbs to ones straight from the ground with naturally-occurring vitamins & minerals?  That’s an easy decision- choose potatoes.

Now there are also people out there following low carbohydrate and extremely low carbohydrate diets who may be jeopardizing their health as well.  I am looking at you extreme SIBO diet folks!  Carbohydrates are important for energy, thyroid health, sex hormone production, metabolism, mood, and more.

At 34 grams of carbs per medium red potato, these delicious nuggets are considered a decent source of carbohydrates.  Combining them with foods rich in protein, healthy fats, and fiber, can help slow any blood sugar surges that may occur from consuming simple carbohydrates on their own.

SIBO & Potatoes

Potatoes can be an excellent source of carbohydrates for individuals following SIBO diets.  They are low in FODMAPs and get absorbed higher in the small intestine.  Since bacteria are typically overgrown in the lower part of the small intestine, this means that the carbohydrates in potatoes are less likely to get to the bacteria and feed them. The result- less symptoms!

However, this does not mean that they are always well-tolerated.

Here are some reasons why potatoes may not be tolerated by some individuals with SIBO:

  • Concurrent yeast overgrowth
  • Sensitivity to nightshades
  • Overall reduced carbohydrate tolerance
  • Excess resistant starch (if served as leftovers)

If you are struggling with symptoms of fatigue, hormonal imbalance, and thyroid disruption triggered by adopting a low carbohydrate diet & find yourself unable to tolerate more carbs- let’s talk!  Schedule a free 10-minute consult to see if we are a good fit for working together.

If you find ones that are fully green and firm, throw them in the fridge to stop the ripening (or peel and slice to keep in the freezer for longer). When ready to eat: peel, slice, and steam for a starchy side for chili, soups, and more. They’re rich in resistant starch, which helps promote a healthy gut microbiome. Ripe bananas (yellow with brown spots) give me acne and make me more congested, but not these 🎉 Gimme all that potassium, magnesium, B6, and resistant starch. Have you tried steamed green bananas?
