Just ate a LOAD of STARCH for lunch -- now the sun bothers me

[MetabolicTrash]

I decided to go out in to the sun and now it suddenly bothers me.

Normally since finding this place nearly 3 years ago I was a sun fanatic -- the sun had went from feeling like torture to feeling fantastic. I normally can sit hours in the ? hours some days and never burn or even tan too much.

I just decided to eat some leftovers -- like 6-8 oz. of pasta.

Well, fast-forward like an hour and I am feeling terrible in the sun, or at least not as good as most days.

Not that only starch could have this effect, but I think some other foods or situations can be similar too.

I checked the weather and it is not any hotter than usual -- and nothing else was a major factor to consider between this and most other days overall.

Unfortunately this means all bets are off -- starchers need to pay up NOW.

Or, well, at least come up with a good reason (excuse) to justify post-starch sun misery.

What did you put on the pasta?

Same, starch induces anxiety and light, noise sensitivity. Potatoes are the worst, read they are potent CCK Cholecystokinin (Bile) stimulators.

Possibly histamine related. Making tea with Mai Ya helps starchy carb-induced food stagnation

Looks like a possible B3 deficiency……


“Malabsorption associated with deficiencies of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins often affects the skin.

Fat-soluble vitamins:

• Vitamin A deficiency causes phrynoderma, ie keratotic follicular papules on anterolateral thighs and posterolateral upper arms.
• Vitamin D deficiency in babies and children results in delayed tooth eruption with poor enamel. In adults, it predisposes to caries.
• Vitamin K deficiency affects coagulation, leading to haemorrhage, purpura and ecchymoses.

Water-soluble vitamins:

• Acutevitamin B2 deficiency results in:
  • Deep red erythema
  • Stomatitis
  • Epidermal necrolysis (peeling skin)
• Chronicvitamin B2 deficiency causes:
  • Angular cheilitis
  • Prominent lingual papillae (papules on the tongue)
  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis
• Vitamin B3 deficiency causes pellagra, characterised by:
  • Photosensitivity
  • Casal necklace – rash distributed around neck/upper chest
  • Cheilitis, glossitis (inflamed tongue), angular cheilitis, oral or perirectal ulcers
• Vitamin B6 deficiency causes:
  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis-like eruption
  • Glossitis
  • Angular cheilitis
• Vitamin B9/B12 deficiency is associated with:
  • Angular cheilitis
  • Hunter glossitis (atrophic, red and painful tongue)
  • Hair depigmentation
  • Hyperpigmentation (diffuse and symmetricalpigmentation, hands, nails, face, palmar creases, flexural regions and pressure points)
• Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, characterised by:
  • Enlarged, hyperkeratotic hair follicles on posterolateral aspects of arms
  • Abnormal hair development
  • Swelling of gums, erythema
  • Splinter haemorrhage in nails
• Biotin deficiency results in:
  • Periorificial dermatitis
  • Alopecia
  • Intertrigo and seborrhoeic erythroderma”

Starch is definitely not good but you also have to take into consideration that when you avoid starch for a long time, reintroducing it into your diet will probably have more detrimental effects than it would if you ate it regularly.

That has never happened to me . I think avoiding it gives your body a rest. I think it would be the same as a vegetarian going back to eating meat, and meat takes longer to digest than grains and potatoes.

Starch is the devil. (To anyone with less than stellar digestion) Starch combined with dairy seems to be especially horrible. I've never had an issue eating starch after avoiding it for weeks at a time. In fact, I have no issues for a few days, then it starts slowly coming back... Bloating, gas, inflammation, etc. Maybe it would be different coming back to it after months or years of abstaining from it.

Starch - The Delicious Devil

"Volkheimer found that mice fed raw starch aged at an abnormally fast rate, and when he dissected the starch-fed mice, he found a multitude of starch-grain-blocked arterioles in every organ, each of which caused the death of the cells that depended on the blood supplied by that arteriole. It...

Starch increases bacteria and by extension MMPs (collagen shredders basically) and I’ve become convinced this is the magic behind starch avoidance (often portrayed as “low carb” or “paleo”) especially for autoimmune issues.
