Not diagnosed, but eventually I noticed how veggies gave me psychotic episodes that would last for a few days. Was connected to oxolates seemingly. After one week of probiotics psychosis doesn't happen when I eat veggies now.

Incidentally caffeine calms me down as well.

Thanks for sharing your experience That sounds really unsettling to go through. I’m glad things have improved for you, but episodes that feel psychotic can be important to look into, since there can be many possible causes, not all of them related to food. If you ever feel comfortable doing so, talking with a medical professional could help make sure nothing else is going on in the background. Everyone’s body is different, and you know your experience best. I just hope you can get clarity and support so things keep moving in a good direction.

Could you share your probiotic regime please? What worked for you?

Sorry I took so long to answer. The one is called pro combo, you take it for a week. I took l-glutamine and diatomaceous earth for a month before I took the probiotic. Also was eating China kale, low oxolate veggie when I took it, so it wouldn't starve right away.
