Hi, i appear to have extreme reactions to a number of allergens that are causing me symptoms of depression, CFS and anxiety.
I am quite literally addicted to these foods i.e. i can eat 4 blocks of cheese in one go or 4 family bags of chocolate buttons (to use an extreme example). These foods make me feel better initially ('high' or maybe even manic) and then i get a horrible withdrawal period with worsened fatigue, depression, back pain, flu-like symptoms (lasts days). This is only relived when i eat the foods which i crave.
Has anyone had/have similar issues and how long should absistence take for me to feel better? I have heard that allergic substances in the brain act like endogenous opiods, so i was wondering whether i will just carry on feeling depressed like people on opiate withdrawal?!
If anyone has any thoughts on such matters i would appreciate their advice!!
Thanks
Rover
