Cutting out the gluten seems to be helping with my mental symptoms most significantly, which helps me a lot because they can be very debiliating. Also I am only chewing the side I am amlagam free (as much as I can remember to do so, lol) until I can afford to get the remaining fillings replaced.

I am pretty strict diet wise:I only drink bottled mineral water and for a treat hot chocolate (made of rice milk); I don't have caffeine, alcohol, fish, vinegar, coriander; I try to get at least 30g of protein a day (legumes, nuts and rice are my main sources, being vegetarian); I have rice milk instead of dairy milk (only have dairy milk if it happens to be in a chocolate bar) and I don't have cheese (unless I'm eating out and there are very few choices).

Strange thing is I have lost some weight since cutting out dairy and cakes, but my body must be healthier - which is opposite to what the doctors told me. They said if I put on weight I would be more likely to get periods. So, for me, I am sure it was mercury that caused my problems, which ties in with their onset aswell.

I could definitely do with watching my sugar intake. I don't add sugar to things, but I do like chocolate bars and some sugary deserts. I can't eat fruit, it gives me rhinitis. My diet is very boring, and I am having to soak beans overnight and then cook them for over an hour (as I won't eat from tins), but it seems to be having "some" effect, so I think perserverance is the name of the game.

I do have potatoes and corn-flakes, which may not be the best choices out there, but I do enjoy a bowl of corn-flakes with rice mik and almond flakes. I have walnuts for omega 3, vitamin c (I finally found I am ok with a dissolvable vit c I got at a chemist, which may not be the best vit c out there, but the only one so far I seem to be ok with) and I take a multi-vit.
