OCD and eating habits

[raja]

I would like to know if there are any specific food items that people suffering from OCD must avoid.I remember reading an article which stated that items with a high caffeine content must be avoided.Are there any other such restrictions and do these restrictions actually work?

Thanks

I'm not aware of anything specific. Since OCD is an anxiety-based disorder, I suppose avoiding or limiting foods containing caffeine might be helpful in a general way, but I don't know of anything beyond that.
