Answer 4

How are you preparing them? How are you seasoning them?

That might make a difference.

Could you be allergic to them?

I have never experienced this - thank God, as I love sweet potatoes - it must be awful.

My suggestion is to try preparing it in a different way and not using any seasoning/spices on it. If anything, just use a pat of butter.

Good luck!
