hehehehehe ... sukay that's so sugary will make him hyper ,we need to get the roof repaired!!!lol..u made me smile sukay!

jokes apart does diet have any effect on bipolar in case you know?

I have always heard that nitrates and caffeine are trigger foods that exacerbates and keep BP's from stabilizing. My S can not have any caffeine or it throws his meds right off. And nitrates I hear will cause havoc for some. Also, some BP's are low in EFA's and it causes trouble for them. They do much better when they are not deficient. LFW

It is Essential Fatty Acids. Look up Essential Fatty Acid Deficienty on the web. I just pulled this from one of the pages about it where it talked of the signs. I heard that if you have EFA in balance, you have a better shot at controlling and stabilizing BP better too. Given the list below...that makes sense to me. You need to speak with your dr. of course, but I am starting to give it to my whole family. I buy it at Trader Joes. LFW
