Can Food Intolerance Cause Anxiety and Depression?
The role of diet on mood cannot be understated, and in recent years there has been an increased focus in scientific circles of the relationship between the digestive system and the brain.
Did you know that the gut produces 90% of the body’s serotonin, the hormone responsible for feelings of happiness? Or that 90% of the fibres that make up the body’s main nerve, the vagus, are responsible for carrying information from the gut to the brain?
This means if the gut is unhappy, it’s likely you’ll be unhappy too. Our survey showed that 97% of our customers reported signs of low mood, and that after taking our food intolerance test and changing eating habits, 73% showed signs of improvement to food intolerance symptoms, as well as improved mood. So, dealing with food intolerance first hand doesn’t only serve to address physical symptoms, but can also have a lasting effect on mental health.
