Quitting onions and garlic have helped big time with boredom

Onions and garlic are good foods, but I read to have them in moderation.
It takes about 4-5 days to serotonin to return to normal when stopping onions garlic. One person had symptoms for 10 days. I noticed my mood and serotonin returned after 4 days.

In some people onions and garlic can lower serotonin.

Allium is the family of onions, leaks and garlic etc.

I think I had an allium sensitivity. A lot of people do as well. Onions and garlic are avoided buy a lot of cultures.

Some people probably benefit from onions and garlic, but me…they make my body Oder a bit off. I don’t stink though.

So if you have anhedonia (lack of pleasure), you could try raising serotonin but stopping onion’s garlic and everything in the allium family.

I’ll report back next week and see how I’m doing.

That’s really interesting. I’ve never heard of that before.

Definitely not me. I buy large bags of garlic bulbs and we also use a prodigous amount of onions each month.

I don’t like raw onions and garlic
But I do use copious amounts of dry powdered onion and powdered garlic and add it to certain foods when cooking
