Interesting that you mention anxiety. After particularly poor eating, where I start to feel physical distress, I've noticed alprazolam seems to help considerably. Likewise, for some cases of light nervousness, I've noticed pepto bismol seems to calm my nerves.

Most of my panic attacks occurred immediately after a meal as well. I discovered a couple of interesting things:

* Magnesium Citrate tablets were able to stop or lessen the attacks, but only when they occurred after a meal. I suspect the laxative effect of magnesium is responsible. * The only food that wouldn't trigger anxiety was coconut-based items, which I suspect has to do with coconut oil comprising mostly MCTs, which take less work to digest.
