Message-ID: <1146@mtgzz.UUCP> Date: Tue, 10-Sep-85 20:21:46 EDT Article-I.D.: mtgzz.1146 Posted: Tue Sep 10 20:21:46 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 11-Sep-85 06:47:56 EDT Organization: AT&T Information Systems Labs, Holmdel NJ Lines: 19 A woman I know has serious brain food allergies. She had been diagnosed as a manic-depressive in college. We're talking major mood swings here. She went to clinic in NY and somehow they determined what foods made her depressed. It turned out that they were the foods she lived on at college(cottage cheese being a real biggie). Once she was put on a program to reduce her intake of the foods that she reacted to, she felt much better. This woman has many other allergies besides, but there are particular foods that seem to affect her moods more than others. I have allergies and I know how they can effect me in many different ways. It isn't too hard for me to believe that certain food allergies may effect the brain. Sharon Badian ihnp4!mtgzz!seb ...just running up that hill...
