Hi there. I'll be sharing some articles from the book of Judith J. Wurthman, Ph.D.
An author of the Carbohydrate Cravers Diet.
The food, mind, mood connection that we are concerned is a basic, normal, and universal phenomenon. Virtually every healthy person will notice almost instantly the effects of eating the calming foods and will experience a mental upsurge after eating energizing food.
FOOD ALLERGIES- like you are sensitive to certain foods or food group. This are an altogether different matter. When you have an allergic reaction, your immune sysytem over reacts to something in the food that your body perceives as a threat, and your defenses are mobilized out of all proportion to the danger. It is the overmobilization itself that constitutes the allergic reaction.
Food allergies aren't uncommon. But those that manifest themselves in mood swings amd behavioral changes without accompanying physical symptoms, such as stomachache, itchiness, a rash, or runny nose, are very rare. Recently both the American Medical Association and the Food and Drug Administration have issued statements to that effect. In other words, the experts who claim that people frequently feel hyper, anxious, or depressed as a result of an undiagnosed food allergy are usually wrong. Much of the advice in some books is inaccurate and misleading.
If you suspect that you have a special sensitivity to a particular food, PLEASE SEE AN ALLERGIST. Keep in mind that if changes in the way you feel or behave after a meal are not accompanied by physical symptoms, those changes are probably a function of the food, mind, mood connection and due to an allergy.
