Comments on: What I learned from working in organic grocery http://girrlockholmes.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/what-i-learned-from-working-in-organic-grocery/ "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." - Sherlock Holmes, A Scandal in Bohemia Mon, 14 Dec 2009 06:26:50 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: tim http://girrlockholmes.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/what-i-learned-from-working-in-organic-grocery/#comment-87 tim Wed, 03 Jun 2009 10:10:37 +0000 http://girrlockholmes.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/what-i-learned-from-working-in-organic-grocery/#comment-87 Thanks for writing down your thoughts. Figuring out that food can make you sick is a really important thing almost totally ignored by mainstream medicine. I wasted my entire youth just sitting in my room being exhausted and depressed for no reason, while doctors told me everything was alright. With 23 I figured out that I had problems digesting gluten. Without gluten my depression disappeared within a weak. My brain fog disappeared as well. At my worst time I had trouble memorizing 2 digit numbers. :( But I was still exhausted and eventhough I had more energy i was still behind what I would call "normal people". It took me a couple of years to find out that carbohydrates caused this problem. I believe I do have SIBO also. But I am reluctant visiting a doctor again. I do not trust those guys anymore. :( What I also realise is the fact that eating only a small amount of carbohydrates causes a craving for more carbs. A craving I cannot resist no matter how much I try. The worst are complex carbohydrates. Simple carbs (monosacharides) do not cause such a strong craving, probably because they are already digested at the end of the stomache and do not reach the small bowel where they are being used by the bacteria.
