I was speaking with my counselor today and she recommended I make changes to my diet based on my own and my families food experiences. My Dad and middle Sister both have coeliac disease (gluten intolerance), my mum has IBS. My eldest sister and I have intolerance of dairy and gluten based foods too but we haven't been checked for coeliac disease specifically. My point is, when I eat healthy ie fruit, veg, low fat, fibre, cut out bread and reduce dairy, no processed foods, no sweets etc my depression has always wained. Trouble is its the chicken n egg situation. Im not sure which comes first. I was wondering if anybody else has noticed a drastic difference in their mood when they cut out certain items.Bread, caffeine n chocolate are a killer for me. Chocolate REALLY makes me sleepy, headachy and low.Bread swells my tummy and gives me cramps. These foods make me feel dreadful ly low and yet I crave them the most! I really believe I need to make these changes to help heal myself. Does anybody have any feelings on this please? Ive always said to my friends "I am what I eat" and in turn they have told me that I'm at my happiest when Im eating healthy and exercising!It isnt just psychological, Im convinced my brain benefits too.I would really welcome any comments on this. Thank you.
