A New Prescription

Bipolar - I'm just learning about all of this but so far I know I need to increase my omega 3 and magnesium intake. Reduce alcohol and processed foods, limit but not cut out salt, reduce sugar intake.

Autism - eliminate gluten and caseins, increase vitamin C and magnesium.

Anxiety - increase tryptophan rich foods such as Whole grains like brown rice, legumes like lentils and chickpeas, protein foods such as chicken, fruits such as mangoes, bananas and dates. Decrease fried foods and dairy products, increase magnesium rich and omega 3 rich foods.
Borderline personality disorder - eliminate white sugar and flour, ketogenic diet (high in fats and protein but low in carbs)

Allergies - Soy and CMPI

So what can't we eat?
Soy
Dairy
Gluten
Processed foods 

What can we eat?
Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables
Omega 3 rich foods
Magnesium rich foods
Protein rich foods

This will take some learning and experimenting in the kitchen. I think regular blood tests for a while too to make sure the balance is right in our diet though this will hopefully be evident in behaviours and moods.
