While most of the body’s serotonin is indeed in the gut, the serotonin that impacts our mood, sleep, and other cognitive functions is exclusively produced and used in the brain.
Was going to say this. My one gripe with HN is that people say incorrect things with complete confidence pretty regularly and you can only Detect it if you know the subject matter.

Not to deny your friends experience, but just to shed light on an issue common with chronic illnesses: People naturally heal all the time from illnesses like this. They just get better with time. People also get desperate (and sometimes their doctors) and try all manner of remedy.
