This was the newsletter I didn’t realize I needed this badly. It is so so hard to shake the food sensitivity question in the back of my mind whenever I eat wheat or drink milk. I know I can eat these foods but I still always hear that rhetoric of “your joints will hurt. You’ll be gassy. Etc.”

I went off gluten a few years ago and I’ve since added it back in. Turns out my chronic stomach issues were not something I could control with food because they were from chronic anxiety of completing grad school and my counseling internship. If I had only eaten more bread (and cake!) and practiced actual stress reduction, I think my life at that time could have looked really different.

Thank you for your work to remind us that food is food, it is good and we need it.

Always here for complaining about the insane stress of graduate school.
