Hello! I have been suffering from anxiety for over a year now. I have been avoiding people, and public places as much as possible. During this year I learned how to notice when the attack would come and I noticed that most of my attacks are after I have eaten certain foods. I know it sounds weird but this is the case. IS there anybody who has also noticed this kind of disorder?

Hello! I haven’t experienced it but I have been reading about it as my best friend suffers from anxiety. It is not that food causes anxiety attack but that there could be some correspondence. I read that there could be a link between your anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, and allergic reactions or sensitivities. The problem is that many doctors just relate the problems of anxiety as neurotic, hypochondriac or anxious. The body becomes nervously heightened during anxiety and this causes the body to be sensitive to what we put in it. This reaction can cause food, medication and chemical intolerances, sensitivities and allergies which just weren't present before you were anxious. I believe you may be on the right tracks but you just need to find appropriate doctor.

Although it's not a quick fix EFT or tapping, as some call it, works for me to bring the level of the anxiety down to managable levels. and the positve aspect of EFT is that there is no use of pharmacological drugs.

Check out this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_Freedom_Techniques
or do a search. It does work despite the users skeptism or resistance, and if this post help one person who has anxiety then I',m happy.

i dont think that aniexty is caused by foods at all,i ve suffered with it since i was a teenager, it comes from fear, losing some one close to you etc.. how can you make a conclusion like that? its the worse feeling i ve ever experienced i believe that aniexty is not knowing where you life is heading, that fear of doing life alone. facing that one day we all have to die. this is reality, not the food we eat, most of the time you bearly want to eat.. the best thing for curing it is to see a professional doctor nothing else, you can only help yourself with this sort of thing. you make believe that you have spiecal pills and magical things that will make you cope with it easier its lies you feedin of people that are not strong enough or able enough to understand whats happening to themselves, this isnt a joke mental illness's effect alot of people, who want to read information thats going to help them through a hard time in there life, you call your selfs experts well im an anxiety sufferer and i know whats been written on here is nothin more than lies, maybe you could study mental disablitys and then write a few pages to help people like me

I was an agoraphobic for eleven years without leaving my home. I went to every doctor in the area and finally met someone with the same symtoms as mine.
After doing every thing that the Doctors told me to do, i ended up with the same feelings only worse.
I was given Zanax and still take it to this day, and went to agoraphopic classes .
We learned how to deal and the easier it got to deal, the less the attacks came. As you know, the more tense, the more attacks.
After four years of completion, I was ask to lecture on agoraphobia and I can tell you that many people have become cured and learned how to help someone else who is having the same problems.
Moral is, food is not the culprit and learning to relax and let it pass is.
