I wish I could give you more info than I know, but I am pretty sure digestion and depression can be linked in some cases.
I go to a regular pysch/MD who also practices alternative meds in some cases. She put me on digestive enzymes because my digestion is a little off. The first two things she askes me about when I go to see her are how do you feel and how is your digestion and bowel movements. so apparently she and others believe there is a link.
I have also read that 1/2 of the serotonin your body produces is produced in your gut. A lot of people at curezone.com stress doing liver cleanes, intestinal, bowel and kidney cleanses to try to treat depression. I have never tried any though
