@Gondwanaland et al, night terrors, or so I've read, are related to narcolepsy, at least 4 out of my 5 kids had night terrors, trying to remember about the 5th one, maybe not.
re: sweet potatoes, carrots, etc. may have another problem, malabsorbtion or conversion. I can absorb beta carotene but evidently I can't convert it to vit. A, so since it can be absorbed through the receptors I probably shouldn't eat any colored (orange yellow etc.) vegetable.
Then we go to the thyroid and goitrogens (sp?), another no-no because of hashi's. Then there's high oxalates with a lot of plants. OK, this is getting ridiculous, right? Because I think there's more that I'm not remembering at the moment........my point (I really do have one) is maybe I am a supertaster for a reason? A real one, been tested.
And I also ramble, one thought leads to another. Just ask my poor Hubs, I leave him in the middle of one conversation topic to something totally different.
This started out just to mention other possibilities or maybe things tied together in some other way....or maybe a dot is missing.....
