gut bacteria, serotonin and autism are linked. i am autistic and i've always had a sensitive tummy as do many autistics. i also have serotonin deficiency and it causes depression and OCD and anxiety. i take tryptophan supplements for OCD as well as inositol. the tryp adds serotonin. also autistic children with IBS etc take serotonin reuptake inhibitors for their stomach problems. it's all linked. what we feel as gut intuition is linked to this as well. somehow there's serotonin in the gut, serotonin is a neurotransmitter. are there braincells in our tummies?
i can't have any coffee. dark chocolate or toomuch chocolate gives me heart flutters and upset tummy. i can't even stand any spice anymore.
most pro-biotic yogurts do nothing imo. i think some of us have issues that need a more indepth care, also they sell yogurt as probiotic when it's not.
