Who would have guessed it was possible to pull such amazingness out of a potato and into a ramen bowl?
For someone like me — who has battled food sensitivities (or, more accurately, reactions to bad-quality ingredients) — my body knows a good thing the second it consumes it. And Atomy’s Potato Ramen? Oh, my body recognized that goodness instantly.
When I reflect back on my life, I can clearly see how certain events correlate with the rearing of that ugly head called “food sensitivities.” It really started to show itself during my second pregnancy — the time when my greatest embarrassments, frustrations, and feelings of defeat began. Interestingly, this was also the one period when I actually had access to a dermatologist. Those visits have stuck with me over the decades, mostly because of how they revealed a painful truth: so many doctors I’ve encountered have been unhelpful — even ignorant — when it comes to understanding food-related health issues, both for me and my children.
It doesn’t take much research to learn that food allergies can cause skin issues. In fact, it’s easy to find online in just a quick search. But back then, I didn’t have that clarity.
I still remember sitting in that dermatologist’s office, dealing with painful cracks in the corners of my mouth, and asking point-blank: “Is it possible this is from something I’m eating or not eating?” Without hesitation, the dermatologist replied, “No, it isn’t possible.”
That answer didn’t sit right with me. I took it at face value… but also, as I usually do, I kept a grain of salt tucked away in my back pocket.
Fast forward to later, when I pushed for my own testing — something I had to insist on — and finally got answers. Turns out, I had food allergies, including to something practically everywhere in processed foods and restaurant meals: soy.
When I dug deeper, I learned that soy (among other allergens I discovered) is not only highly genetically modified but also severely overused in the American diet.
So, I began my own “scientific studies” — really just years of trial, error, elimination, and observation on myself — and confirmed it: the embarrassing, frustrating, and painful skin issues I dealt with were 100% caused by what I was eating (or not eating).
I also discovered my daughter shared a soy allergy, which allowed me to observe her reactions. While her symptoms were a little different from mine, they reinforced what I already knew — our bodies don’t lie.
And here’s where Atomy’s Potato Ramen comes in.
Like all Atomy products, I knew the ingredients were high quality. For some reason, I didn’t even realize there might be soy in the seasoning — yet I never reacted to it. Not once.
That told me something important: where ingredients are sourced from truly matters. Especially when it comes to natural, whole-food-based products. Our bodies often react very differently to something that is genetically modified versus its pure, natural form.
While I can’t speak for Atomy’s official sourcing standards, my experience tells me their ingredients are likely grown in their natural state — possibly organic, and definitely not genetically modified. And when you’re working with the real deal, your body knows the difference.
Oh, and let’s not forget the most important part — it tastes amazing. The noodles have the perfect texture — never mushy — and the flavor is comforting yet clean.
So, thank you to whoever had the brilliant idea to put potato into ramen. My taste buds (and my skin) are forever grateful.
