I am going to share my experience with you all and if you judge me, that's your problem.
I've been through a LOT in my life, my parents divorced and remarried, I've been sexually abused, abandoned, forced into seclusion, and any chance of a quality education almost taken from me. People I loved dearly died suddenly. I watched as a year old pup died from parvo, I watched helplessly as the life left her eyes and I was alone while it happened. I was forced to lie in order to go to church.
Then I had the opportunity to leave that cage and I did. But all of that unresolved trauma caused me to have anxiety attacks and depression. I got counseling and I took meds for it.
I am not a violent person. Every person I have hurt physically, I have beat myself up over. I'd get angry at myself and cry.
Except for when my brother and I were learning self defense and I gave him a bloody nose.
The drug I was on was sertraline. The way I understand drugs is this: they go through the system and block certain neurotransmitters in the brain or slow them down considerably. Some block the pathways that exhibit happy emotions while others block sadness, etc. etc.
Depression is really anger turned inwards, unspent nowhere to go causing strain on the body. When I took the sertraline, I was ANGRY ALL THE TIME.
At the time I lived with my Grandma and Grandpa. I love my Grandparents dearly, they have always been more like parents to me than my biological parents. (Please don't misunderstand, I love my parents and now that I'm older and not dependent, I have a better relationship with them)
I started to get violent. I never hit either of my grandparents, to be clear, but I came VERY close. That was when I decided to quit meds and get alternative help through counseling. She taught me coping skills and we worked over forgiveness (which I still struggle with).
I have never been better. Sure, depression and anxiety flare up from time to time, but I know now how to handle it properly.

What does it matter what I eat? No matter what I say, you'll be like, eat this instead of that, or you should drink this and not that. I don't eat any meat except turkey and chicken. I drink tons of water, I eat two salads a day. I don't eat alot of fruit or pasta. I don't eat bread at all. I don't eat chips or crackers or ice cream. I don't eat alot of sugar. I don't snack on junk in between meals. And I'm not taking your word that just because you've never seen a case of someone being allergic, that it doesn't happen. Nor do I care how much experience you and your friend have with this diet.
I reject your algae diet. Please stop recommending it to me. Now, nitpick my current diet to death, cuz I'm sure you will. :/
There is nothing wrong with taking meds for situational depression. Sometimes we go through things where we need it but that doesnt mean we will always need it. Anxiety meds are a layering drug. I do not know anyone who isnt taking anxiety meds on top of depression meds. I dont know for certain but I know in my case,when I was taking depression meds they made me anxious so then the doctors prescribed anxiety meds. Its a long trail of medicinal traps! The Lord delivered me from all the issues I had and the meds. But if you are fully convinced that you will always be the way you are;you will.
What would that be for?

- Intestinal discomfort, including flatulence, bloating, stomach noises, belching, and cramping

Sounds like you have quite a healthy diet 
LB :to be clear to you LB, I am just making conversation, not suggesting you change her diet, as YOU have made it clear to me your not interested, and I respect that.
That's a question to which you will almost never get an honest answer. (I remember, vividly someone here saying they held up two packages of cookies in the grocery store, asking, "Which one should I get?"
If there is one thing we should ALL understand, it is that we should eliminate all dairy products and absolutely as much sugar as possible from our diets. Oh, yeah, and drink oodles of water. (And that is just a tiny bit of a starter.)

They make a purple sour kraut, of course I have tried that and I like it, I even took it as a side dish to my main dish for my church's monthly social luncheon following the service. I surrounded the kraut with cashews, but people ate more of the cashews than the kraut LOL Deep coloured foods are nutritionally richer than pale foods
