Yeah it is not wild…
I wish more people would contribute to this
So that we could compare and hopefully reach a kind of consensus.
The only thing for me that i know is safe is eating just meat and fruits, i avoid vegetables totally. Carnivore diet really, but with fruit.
Yeah but only meat specifically red meat comes with drawbacks…
I dont really believe in that. In my opinion meat has been our natural diet since the beginning of times. Nowadays we are fear mongered into eating lots of carbs/grains (which cause mental illness, schizophrenia back in the days was called bread madness). Since i eat meat only all my anxiety/ocd/insomnia dissapeared. I wish i had known about all this before I took SSRI, carbs/grains were the reason for my ocd…
i would eat meat anyday over veggies i have been on raw milk raw eggs and meats and my brain fog is gone
Thats my boy. Totally agree.
Ok, let’s not turn this thread into another debate thread. There are enough of those online and this is not one of those threads. I am not interested in proselytizing from ketoers, carnies, or sv3rigers, etc.
I just want to know what plant foods people eat here regularly.
I used to eat Quorn but i switched to cheaper brands onces fake meat became more popular and there was more choice. I never had many problems with eating mushrooms since PSSD. I also don’t think that everything from Quorn has mushrooms in it? Idk! Also eventhough i never really reacted badly to soy i try to eat more egg based fake meat or just eggs since pssd because i feel more safe with it. Also note that i’m a girl, maybe a females body is more used to hormone fluctuation and 5ar might be less important for me. Idk! Just a thought
I was a vegetarian until the year I got PFS (although I ate fish sometimes), I stopped being vegetarian later that year.
Well, at first it was mainly social pressure, almost everyone who I talked to about PFS insisted about eating a “normal” diet.
Then, with time, I realized that a vegetarian diet may not be the most appropriate diet for someone suffering from PFS, so I continued including meat in my diet and avoiding high amounts of vegetables.
Thanks, I don’t know if I have those food sensitivities, so I am certainly not prescribing anything but I will say I’m eating more fruits and vegetables than I was 6 months ago and would say that my condition doesn’t appear to have suffered from it.
Glad to hear that. Keep at it.
What were your symptoms?
Does tomatoes, tomato paste, or sauce make things worse for anyone?
It is supposed to lower dht and They can irritate your guts. So it’s up to how you react to it.
I’ve had pasta here and there and doesn’t seem to do anything so for me tomatoes are fine no problems at all.
I always thought that a vegan diet would be worse for erections etc. I don’t know if that’s true, but this article caught my eye.
Very interesting. I had been vegetarian (mostly vegan) for years until PFS hit… just felt like my body wanted animal protein. Went back to vegetarianism for a short time and felt like I totally relapsed into terrible brain fog one day after a lot of soy. Luckily that went away the next day and I never looked back.
