They usually arise more at evening or night once I've eaten all my meals for the day too. And it's not a placebo because I didn't realize they were high in glutamate until I looked it up. My symptoms improved a bit when I stopped eating peanut butter, but certain things I just can't go without because I need the calories, plus I love them.
However every once in awhile, maybe a few times a month, I'll have an evening/night where my mind is insanely clear like I've been injected with gaba or something. I always try to figure out on those days what I did/what I ate that made my mind like that, but I can't figure it out.
