Back on and going through the withdrawals again

Still firmly believe that I show signs of bipolar when eating wrong foods. If others do not cycle from foods they are sensitive to, then I am bipolar... If it looks like a duck, right?

Proof is each time I avoid dairy and gmos esp wheat, I lose my mind for four days then feel a calm by day five. Then things are much better till I binge on the wrong foods again.. Then the arthritis, vertigo, irritability, brain fog and lethargy sets back in. What else is it if not bipolar? Other things like extreme stress set me off.

Probably is that even while medicated, life was fucked up. My moods were terrible. Now, I am off bandwagon and feeling equally terrible, but in different way. No meds doc even if I wanted.

Ready to sign off from DS. Though I read my journals and I ramble and change topic on a couple, I know that I am on to something. If I could just be 100 percent committed to this. I could make a claim that bipolar and mood and gfcf are one in the same but only for some. Gfcf means better results for most who try it but again there needs to be a 100 percent commitment.

omg, if gluten causes the pains in my back and gives my IBS and gives my what seems like MS (have I metnioned this???) then why is a mood imbalance so hard to beleive

Dad says that in order to know. If something works, test it several times. Hey is a researcher so I am still trying to get this straight. Okay, had a little. Bread after a few days of none and I am panicky and weepy. I just might, please g-dimensional, have a job offer so I don't know why I am sad. I think I need to to be, sure that it am not up and down due to bipolar vs. Having sensitivities

Testing dairy again. Ate it and am feeling kind of angry.. Like hitting someone. Worldofblah said something similar

Here is a quote from Kelly Brogan, MD:

In patients with casein antibodies, there was a 7-8x increase in the diagnosis of schizophrenia, and they have similarly demonstrated a 3-5x increased risk of Bipolar disorder in patients with casein antibodies (IgG), stating:

“anti-casein IgG associations with bipolar I diagnoses, psychotic symptom history, and mania severity scores suggest that casein-related immune activation may relate to the psychosis and mania components of this mood disorder.”

Okay, so when I go back to work full time, I will be fully gfcf. I cheated again today. I sound like a duck bc I can't breathe like I normally do while lying down. Notice a mistake above. To be clear, my sensitivities to gluten cause brain fog and depression. Dairy causes irritability which leads to me screaming and sometimes hooting or wanting to. I get combative. So, if this doesn't happen to others, then I must be bipolar. Food, which can be toxic, stresses my body and triggers the reactions

I understand what you are saying! Sometimes I get tired of watching people eat and trying to explain why I am not. I cheated about a week ago and felt absolutely awful! But now I feel great. I am getting tired of salad though, I need more recipes I can eat. Yesterday I made chicken and quinoa with a buffalo and bbq sauce that I figured out I can have. It was good. In the mornings I make tea with soy milk and stevia, have a banana, and non dairy yogurt with fiber in it to keep me fuller longer. I bring food with me and water every where I go now which helps. Like if I go to my parents house I bring myself at least a snack because they I think are the most unhealthy eaters I know...that is where I got it from, but no more for me!! My cousin has celiacs and so we have been hanging out a lot lately and swapping stories. She dealt with depression before giving up gluten too. Stay with it sigmund!

Thanks!

If you need recipes, let me know. You are so strong... I keep cheating after weeks of the diet. I recover pretty quickly, not like the beginning.

His, research showed a gf diet meant these things for student subjects:

Improved ability to learn Improved interest in school Improved concentration No more meds for depression problems No more avoidance of meeting people Expected full recovery of ataxia problems (inability to coordinate muscle movements) Improved gross motor skills (was delayed in some cases) Improved physical growth (was smaller than expected) Went from bottom of class to the top of his class after 3 months on diet Found a "hunger" for learning after avoiding gluten Improved mood with less “crossness” and “crankiness” Improved development to catch up with peers Improved intellect with definite increases in intelligence Grade point average went from 2.5 to 3.9 Many have acquired college degrees with high gpa after going gluten-free Came alive academically Improved ability to meet daily challenges Improved speed of learning ("quicker" in her studies) Absenteeism no longer a problem Lots of stories about coming out of withdrawn state socially to an outgoing one --running for student council, more motivated in doing well and meeting people Increased well-being and better brain chemistry No more "brain fog" Improved in reading (“noticeable”) Improved temperaments in children Before going gluten-free, students had the following difficulties/complaints:
