Hey girl. Are you still gluten free? How are things going? My bff is having some terrible anxiety issues and I thought of your situation and wondered if it's something she should try too. Feel free to PM me. Thanks!

For the most part! I definitely have cheat days/moments, but I bet I've cut 75% of the gluten from my diet (as compared to what I was taking in before). I also make an effort to eat more protein in general. I swear to god, I truly think it has cured me. I have not had a panicky moment since the week I started. Like I told you before, it could very well be in my head - but I dont care. I think just knowing that *I* can have some control over feeling the way I do, makes me so much less anxious. I love the idea of changing the way I feel just by altering with I eat, and not having to depend on a pill to make me feel normal. Because in my twisted mind, if a pill is what controls my mood.. it freaks me out more. I like to be in control (which is a HUGE precursor to anxiety for me).
Tell her to try it for a week. She should feel a difference! I'd encourage her to take it slow - look at what she's eating now, and see just exactly how much gluten she takes in. I bet she'd be surprised. But, for me anyway, going in 100% was just not going to happen.. like I said though, I've noticed a huge change just by cutting the majority of gluten from my diet.
ALSO - are you familiar with 5-HTP at all? It's a natural supplement. I've been doing a lot of reading on it, and from what I've learned about it, the results are amazing. The only place you can find it around here is Whole Foods, and I plan on picking some up hopefully this weekend.
