Sometimes you don't get a delayed reaction to certain foods. Also, some foods eat up more vitamins. You have to make certain you are not deficient in anything your body needs.Anxiety can be caused by many things, from lack of something your body needs, or from exposure to something it can't handle.
I make the mistake of eating some chocolate chip and M&M cookies recently, and my anxiety was raging none stop. Then after I finished all of them off, and let it pass through my system, I was much calmer again.
I gave up bread, because it had a negative effect on me. Gluten, or whatever.
I've been eating chicken I get from Sam's Wholesale club that is low in calories and the bad stuff, and gives me plenty of protein.
I used to crave chocolate and some diary products to an insane degree, but after eliminating them from my diet for a time, making sure none were left in the house, the cravings vanish.
I think thats because sugar, alcohol, and starch feed candida. I don't drink alcohol, but I'm sure its the same thing alcoholics feel. I gave up orange juice because I was craving the sugar in it.
If you want to get better, you have to start taking the time to read all the ingrediants, and looking up what to avoid. A lot of products out there have way too many ingrediants in them, and by default I just avoid them. Too hard to keep track of what every ingrediant is, and if it has a few dozen, or a few hundred in it, then some of them are surely going to be bad.
Good luck. And remember, selectively remove things from your diet, to test out any food allergies as well.
