It’s misguided and incentive. Gut diseases aren’t cured by yogurt.

For many yogurt would be a bad thing to digest. For others it works perfectly. Depends on what bacteria you have/need. Too complex for a one liner.

Ymmv, but I've found it helpful.

Even if well-intended, I think it's condescending.

One improvement to my life is assuming positive intent. If there is a way I can interpret someone's comment in a positive light, I do so. I'd rather occasionally seem like a fool who didn't realize he was being insulted than hurt somebody by falsely accusing them of being mean.

As a bonus, I am insulted a lot less ;)

Fwiw I didn't take it as condescending

Telling people with anxiety or depression to "relax" or "just be happy" is pretty insulting.

A person with asthma or a broken leg is usually not told to just breathe or just go for a walk.

Okay I definitely agree with you in situations where people are being invalidating.

Tone is hard to read on the internet. Personally I read that comment as reassuring rather than invalidating. (Of course it wasn't directed at me). I get anxiety quite regularly and have battled depression since age 10 after experiencing something very traumatic. When someone manages to successfully reassure me, I'll take it. It can help break me out of my digging.
