From the Book: Why Food May Be Affecting Your Mood

Problem foods can contribute to anxiety in a number of ways, including inflammation and physical stress due to the production of antibodies. Another possible mechanism relates to histamine, a compound involved in the immune response that also functions as a neurotransmitter. A histamine imbalance is often related to allergies or sensitivities to both foods and environmental allergens, such as pollen, dander, or mold (Pfeiffer 1987; Jackson et al. 1998).

From the Book: The Problem with Gluten

Gluten sensitivity can limit the availability of tryptophan and therefore lead to decreases in levels of serotonin (Pynnönen et al. 2005). (See chapter 6 for more on the link between serotonin and anxiety.) Another possible mechanism is indirect effects of gastrointestinal damage due to eating problem foods, resulting in nutrient malabsorption (Hallert et al. 2009). And yet another is an effect wherein you’re drawn to eat certain foods to get a psychological high (Pfeiffer 1987) caused by gluteomorphins—opiate-like compounds produced during the digestion of the gliadin component of the gluten protein. Gluteomorphins are addicting, and withdrawal symptoms can feel as bad as drug withdrawal. When you consume gluten, initially you’ll feel great, but then you’ll experience a severe letdown that may show up as anxiety, depression, mood swings, fatigue, and other symptoms.
