In reply to UltraMind Solution...dairy / gluten allergies?, posted by uncouth on September 26, 2009, at 20:38:03
VERY interesting...I've noticed that when I consume dairy late in the day it puts me in an exhausted, depressed fog the next day.
I tested this dozens of times b/c it seemed like such a weird thing (and mostly b/c I didn't want to give up my evening ice cream), and it's definitely the case for me.
I'm wondering now if all dairy is effecting my energy and mood and if I need to give it up all together. Probably makes sense.
> I just skimmed UltraMind solution, book that suggests a wide variety of "mental illness" can be traced to more systemic dysfunction. Author suggests a variety of things, but i'm most interested in hearing whether anyone has been able to trace a dairy or gluten allergy to their mood issues.
