Comment on Diet and its effects on the gut biome in the pathophysiology of mental disordersparent

Comments

I'm involved in many support forums.

A few patterns I've noticed.

The people who have been mostly managing their conditions via diet without understanding whats happening. Basically they eat healthy, and it mostly works.

People who love food / don't want to cook healthy and refuse to acknowledge the possibility that's causing problems.

People who say they eat healthy but really don't. (Salad once a week) Or a variation, people who ate a salad, didn't get better and claim diets don't work).

The ones who are at deaths door and are finally desperate enough to try anything.

Actually following a strict diet like KETO / AIP. Paying close attention to trigger foods, etc. These ones often can reduce or eliminate medication.

Learning to be honest with yourself about food is one of the major challenges. Giving up various food addictions can be brutal.
