@sun seeker That definitely does sound like a meticulous diet! I certainly hope it will start producing the desired effects for you soon; I guess the very least it will do for you is not add any additional bodily imbalances that could affect you negatively. I'd love to hear if you see any...

@sun seeker Are you adjusting your diet on your own or is it based on my suggestion? Just wondering so I know where you're at. If you're eating similar to how I've been, that's great -- I must point out though that as time has gone on I noticed that if I include wheat in my diet then that's...

@Digz Yes, certain things will cause triggers no matter how much you change your diet. Your trauma or someone else's may be completely different from mine and diet may only slightly improve well-being. Diet dramatically helped me because, little did I know, food was altering my brain chemistry...

@sun seeker I'm glad your diet has helped you in your healing process. You're right -- not everyone would benefit mentally from such a change. And people that say it's the only way to help ease mental health issues are wrong. Guess it's just really worked for me since certain foods promote...

Well I probably should go get some work done but thanks everyone. I wish you the best and maybe I'll see you around the web :)

@moonbeam Thought this was the case!

If T is what I think it means!

@moonbeam Yeah I could see how actions like Tom Cruise's would be obnoxious! PTSD is awful, and if there's any chance my story might help someone else, then it's worth the time to write it :) Diet seems to be making such a dramatic difference. I don't have a T although that probably would've...

@mephoto Glad to hear that! ^_^ And yes the paleo diet is definitely strict but so tasty.. and when you eat in such a way for long enough, the body seems to start craving healthier things and can't tolerate the junk as well. And are you a nutritionist?

I'm not sure how diet change would affect survivors of different types of traumas. My trauma was completely psychotic / psychological so the food changes have greatly helped my mental processes. I do hope it would positively influence any PTSD sufferer, though. That's why I wanted to share!

@mephoto Sorry to hear about that trigger. : [ Hope you're finding new methods to help cope these days. I didn't mean to imply that my symptoms are completely gone -- they're just not taking over my life anymore. Title is changed :)

@Solara Thanks for understanding where I was going with this. :) There's definitely a mind - body connection. I once heard a doc say that your stomach is your "second brain." And yeah, 24 [well now, more like 26] days doesn't seem like a long time but after two years of suffering DAILY, I...

@Ayesha Okay thanks !

@Ayesha It was a word choice based on my subjective story. Don't get me wrong, the symptoms are still there. They're just extremely more manageable now. Again, how can I edit the title?
