Solution

Today was much better than previous days. The answer was carbs. I hadn't really eaten a lot of carbs since I started the diet, so I had no idea how I would react. Since Joel was gone and I was more anxious (for some reason related to cortisol/DHEA/other hormone that I don't know about), even though I was taking a lot more phosphatidyl serine, my insulin must have gone back to the low level, which meant that the 75 g of carbs a day was too much. I guessed that this was the solution this morning, reorganized my menu after breakfast, and had a much much better day. I'm down to 55 g of carbs, and that is what I have planned for the next week. Honestly, I think it is likely that it might turn out to be not enough, and I might end up having to eat more carbs. It is also likely that I'll have to adjust my vitamins in a ton of different ways. But whatever. The important thing is that my anxiety is more under control. I expect that my stomach pain will go away as the anxiety does.
