Around 35 years old I realized I have a nasty soy sensitivity. And as I have become able to rule it out of my life, my memory is becoming fantastic.
It makes me wonder what my life could have been if I knew when I was young, but it's all bonus to me.
Sorry to brag but it's one of the best things in my life.
- mrjh 4y agoI’d love to know what made you notice this, and able to identify soy as the problem. Presumably it was more than just memory issues that tipped you off?
- digitalsushi 4y agoIt took me about 10 years, more or less. The first pieces of data were jokes about rushing home with a sour stomach from yet another sushi date night. A scary optical aura and migraine was the event that got me taking notes and ruling things out. I had a huge dose of soy and my vision kinda went out for 30 minutes. Scary. If I eat less soy, like say eating someone's homemade bread made with soy vegetable oil (which is the most likely one), I'll get brain fog, and about 5 days later eczema. Multiple times I have deliberately eaten soy and logged the effects. I'm about 90% confident it's soy at this point. I'm a skeptic and still feel it could be some other factor but I am highly confident. Avoiding soy is difficult. Especially for someone that loves chocolate.
