      Yes!  That's great that you've switched to a form of Folate the body can utilize better!  Here's an article that explains the difference between folic acid and methyl folate: Active Folate Versus Folic Acid: The Role of 5-MTHF (Methylfolate) in Human Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9380836/

      Eban’s is the one I found to be most like real bread. The seeded bread is closest to Dave’s bread that I found and the size is pretty normal not tiny like others. Cost is about $10/loaf and to avoid high shipping you need to buy multiple freeze. They have many types of bread and cookies. You can only buy online. Ebansbakehouse.com

      Hiya @sadiec123s.  I am not sure this will be terribly helpful, but in case, I'll share a couple of things here. Rather than aggression, my mental health struggles were anxiety-related. I am sure there was a connection with my low B12 levels, and low iron, because once those were addressed I did start to feel better.  Have you been checked for deficiencies? https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/what-to-know-about-vitamins-and-mental-health Also, Dr Steve Llardi's book helped me a lot, too.  The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs.  It points out some lifestyle changes that can really help us to feel better:   physical exercise;  omega-3 fatty acids; natural sunlight exposure; restorative sleep; social connectedness:  meaningful, engaging activity.

      I have ingested 100 mcg of folic acid for many years but wised up and switched to folate about 3 months ago. I am now taking optimized b100 complex which includes folate 1240 mcg dfe (as 6s methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt, quatrefolic. Also get another 70 mcg from beef liver as well as whatever else from diet. I am not quite certain how much natural folate is safe as opposed to folic acid. Do the above description and amounts sound OK?

      I felt betrayed by the food I was eating,  I was angry at Agrobusiness.  Angry at myself because I blew off my son's doctor's recommendation in 1976 to go gluten free.  I was angry at the nutritional misinformation.  I actually became quite evangelistic about GFD.  My family banned me from mentioning wheat in their presence. High dose 10,000 IU Vitamin D and low dose 5 mg Lithium Orotate kept me grounded. It is not just a gluten free diet.  You also have to correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Pretend like you moved to another country so you have to find new favorite foods.  There are built in deficiencies in the western diet that at times seems intentional.  Vitamin D, Choline, Iodine is deficient in the general diet.  Add in the deficiencies caused by the Celiac Disease malabsorption you suffered with unknowingly and the difficiency caused by avoiding foods.  Don;t forget the deficiencies caused by no longer eating processed gluten foods with their fortifiction.  Gluten free foods on not fortified.  You get what you eat. Oh, anger at the people and doctors who said there was nothing wrong, when I knew there was. From as early as ten years old.  Guess I showed them.  They are getting sicker and I am not.  I invite them to my 130 birthday party. Give yourself a break, you were told lies.  But let the anger turn into productivity. To quote the Grateful Dead: "What a long strange trip it's been" Your weight will stabilize at it's natural level.  I was kick sand in the face skinny as a kid.  150  pounds average through my 20's Then blew up to 185 from my 50's until I started GFD at 63. You have the oppurtunity to avoid what I suffered.  Check out old TV shows like "Ozzy and Harriet", "Leave it to Beaver", "Donna Reed Show".
