Has anyone realized that a certain food or foods caused their anxiety or depression?
There is a strong link between depression / anxiety and food allergies. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for a large part of my life and also have many food allergies. I do know that when I’m naughty and splurge on foods I’m not supposed too my symptoms seem to worsen. But in a general non-allergy related sense, some things like sugar will tend to make you anxious, while boosting your protein intake can be good for reducing your symptoms. Food elimination can be tough, I know. I went through a period of eating no wheat, milk, soy, eggs…and I have slowly re-introduced them because I was fed-up with looking at the labels on things and realising I can’t eat anything.
