Why don't we have a look at a few of these adverse reactions to food now, and how they are related to depression and anxiety.
1)Coeliac disease
Celiac disease, also spelled coeliac, is a digestive disease in which the body’s immune mechanism responds unusually to gluten. Gluten is a protein within many grains that we commonly eat. Grains like wheat, rye, and barley. In those who have celiac disease, the immune system attacks and leads to injury (inflammation) to the small intestine.
For over forty years, it has been known that people with celiac disease suffer more often from neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, peripheral neuropathy, ataxia, epilepsy, and migraine headaches. These complaints may also be the sole symptom of celiac disease.
2)Food Allergies and Food sensitivities
Data has been around for more than thirty-five years substantiating the link between food allergies and sensitivities in mental health. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is known to be brought on by undesirable responses to foods in at the least a percentage of children. It has also been demonstrated that some schizophrenic patients obtain full-recovery when they're placed on a gluten-free diet.
Even though research on depression and food turns out to be more controversial, it is possible that in certain sufferers, anxiousness and depression is due to a food sensitivity. When a diet regime which excludes the offending foods is implemented, it can result in the depression and anxiousness being solved.
3)Low Blood Sugars
Hypoglycemia takes place when sugar (glucose) levels in the body are not high enough to fuel the body’s demands. Reactive hypoglycemia is a type of hypoglycemia which happens in reaction to consuming food and happens 1-4 hours after a meal. Reactive hypoglycaemia can cause depression, tiredness and/or anxiousness in specific people.
People suffering from hypoglycemia have 2 kinds of symptoms; to start with those that are based on insufficient glucose in the blood stream to supply the brain and next the ones that are generated by an increase in adrenaline, other stress hormones, and the action of the autonomic nervous system (the automatic portion of the nervous system that regulates your breathing, heart rate, etc.)
Signs of Reactive Hypoglycemia Include things like
To start with:
* Fatigue
* Dizziness
* Difficulty in thinking
* Indecision
* Weakness
* Being Uncoordinated
* Seizures
* Blurred vision
* Depression
Followed by:
* Heart palpitations
* Excessive sweating
* Nervousness
* Anger
* Tremor
* Mood swings and crying spells
Should you encounter depression, anxiety or the other symptoms in the list above, one to four hours after eating food (particularly those high in sugar), it's possible that you might be suffering from reactive hypoglycemia.
