Thanks so much in advance.

While I don't have OCD, I did suffer from binge eating as a response to stress for years. I feel much less edgy and nervous on the MWL diet WITH the following exceptions. In addition to no flour products, I also avoid puffy cereals, rice cakes, corn tortillas or russet potatoes. Even though many people eat these with no ill effects, they make me climb the walls.

I believe that anxiety attacks can be caused by food allergy issues and an elimination diet is a good idea. I have sent you a private message with my experience with this and what I have learned.
