this makes me so sad. I can't eat anything sweet and the one thing I found that I seem to tolerate well to a degree is sweetened with sucralose, sweet is addict

this makes me so sad. I can't eat anything sweet and the one thing I found that I seem to tolerate well to a degree is sweetened with sucralose, sweet is addictive... I just ate 8 apples today when I lost control and I'm going to pay the price the next few days (food intolerance)

If binging on apples is the worst of your concerns you're doing just fine.

Are you intolerant to apples? If not, I think you’re in good shape as far as binging goes. I eat two or three apples just about every day. As far as food habits go I think it’s one of the best I’ve had.

  Seemingly intolerant to starches and sugar in general, leads to depression. Weirdly enough green stuff seems to give me panic attacks and suicidal ideation. Takes about 4 days to get into effect. Probably something to do with fermentation. Next one will be the 3rd Therapist, this time she's also a general practicioner. There are all kinds of doctors on youtube talking about this, but haven't found one in Germany who could give me a diagnosis... I'm so frustrated

    Oh wow, that sounds incredibly frustrating. It seems wise to consider that it might be a fermentation problem, perhaps a serious imbalance of microbes or something. Good luck. I dealt with GI issues that lead to both physical and psychological misery once (after repeated courses of antibiotics), and my advice is to hang in there — you could find something that works for you, even it takes a while.

      yes, fermentation was my thought as well. Carnivore diet helps, but I am unable to stick to it some days and when stressed out I'll eat anything carb, even cookies that bugs won't touch. Probably toxic in other ways I don't know.

    Not a doctor, but it could be auto-brewery syndrome [1]. In effect, your gut biome contains fermenting bacteria that ferment sugars and starches into alcohol. The alcohol might be causing depression, and switching to a diet that avoids fermentable stuff might cause anxiety due to alcohol withdrawal. Again, not a doctor, not a diagnosis, but it might help give you a name that your doctor could look into. 1: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK513346/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK513346/

      looking into enzymes for the next 2 weeks. Haven't gotten a SIBO test yet, but SIBO makes sense when undigested carbs sit around.

I have oral allergy syndrome and get a reaction when I eat a bunch of different fruits raw. I'm allergic to fucking apples. LOL

8 apples is nothing, they contain very few sugar, the question is more what else do you eat? isn't it the combination that's causing intolerance? edit: I saw your other reply, there must be other problems, like constipation (fruits should be digested quite quickly and not too quickly too - diarrhea, it takes time to build the right microbiome), not enough mastication maybe too, and not enough fasting Fermentation is actually something great (before eating), like naturally fermented onions or peppers (they get soft), or almost all non sugary vegetables, allows to skip cooking which destroys most valuable things in vegetable
