You deserve better (rule)

You might not expect this nor believe in it, and will probably mock me for it, but honestly, giving up gluten and dairy did it for me. Well, I am back on them now and guts not as good again and I can clearly see the mental effects.

But that's probably just me, not eveyone has a gluten intolerance. But like, I wouldn't have believed I have one, because I had a gastroscopy that actually biopsied the small intestine like almost 20 years ago (because of me always feeling sort of guilty in my stomach but it wasn't because I had done anything bad, the emotion was just a projection and the feeling was due to a food intolerance.) That and all sorts of allergy and antigen tests.

But then I tried and exclusion diet, where I only ate fish, chicken, rice and potatoes. Slowly added things like onions and garlic (to see whether their allergens is the trigger).

I don't get violent reactions from eating gluten and dairy but it stacks and I just become sadder and more anxious in general.

Hell, before going on that diet I had never really been able to get properly drunk either. I never really lost my memories of a night or acted as stupid as my peers, and I could never figure out why they get so drunk and I don't.

Now I don't need to wonder.

But yeah I'm not saying neither of you have that, but undiagnosed food allergies could possibly contribute.
