Hi All,
Long time, no chat. An update from a "healed AFer".
Turns out that gluten was behind a lot of it, and now being gluten free for 4 months my brain is so much more clear, there are (essentially) no mood swings, and Depression is GONE. AWWWESOME. Gluten did not show up as a problem on genetic tests from MD nor intolerance tests from ND.
I knew I had GI issues from gluten for a long time, even as a kid. Dairy was worse tho as a teen so I avoided that.
Being 95% gluten free wasn't enough. Sure it helped with GI, but not mood. I had to convert to 100% and that's been easy. Occasionally some will slip in and I can tell. Well a tiny bit no problem, say some in gravy and I'm an arse for a few hours.
Others have said similar things so use that or ignore it as you will.
While my mood improved, energy didn't come back. But in combo with niacin as night, I started sleeping in mornings (past 5am), and that was great.
Going relatively low carb meant good energy. I could work out, etc. with no crash at all. I know I still had a road to climb there, but truly life was worth living again.
A couple setbacks along the way, and I'm putting those into seperate posts so they can be digested easier.
