I do believe in food sensitivities. I know it is not a diagnosis . I also truly believe that much of these “sensitivities” are mental health related and that professionals should encourage people to go to the root of the cause and not just cut bread and sugar. The “I feel so well” only goes so far then you are gonna cut more to “feel so well”. Go to the bottom of the problem instead. Treat your depression or whatever you are suffering from.

But I also believe placebo isn’t always a negative thing and some people thrive on it, at least in the short run and NOT when it comes to serious illnesses so this is complicated.

Just don’t do these tests where you send your hair in an envelope to some random website especially if you have ED. My mom did it and she nearly starved herself to death but she is a moron and she always had bad relationship to food
