A lot of the foods we eat, especially refined carbohydrates, cause inflammation which will exacerbate your sensitivities and impede the healing. So you should adopt an anti-inflammatory / ketogenic / sugar free / wheat free / organic diet to help keep the inflammation down as part of your treatment.
  • Stop eating sugar and refined carbohydrates (wheat, white flour) because they cause inflammation, lack nutrition, and are acidic. Replace wheat with whole grains such as Quinoa flour, Almond flour, or Chickpea flour.
  • Avoid processed vegetable oils and unsaturated fats such as Canola oil as they can cause oxidation and inflammation which is destructive. Cook with healthy saturated fats such as Coconut oil, Olive oil, butter, or animal fats instead.
  • Processed foods often contain the bad ingredients so they should be avoided.

Diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrates cause increased levels of anxiety. Metabolic syndrome is also linked to anxiety. Sugar and refined carbohydrates are the culprits behind metabolic syndrome so that is another reason to adopt the dietary guidelines above.

No doubt the restrictions may seem harsh but once you break the sugar addiction then the brain will learn to crave more nutritional foods.

The goal is to give the body optimal nutrition and optimal conditions so the brain can heal itself.
