> the digestive tract is basically the primary storage of serotonin.

What does this even mean? Monoamines aren't fat or glycogen stored in the body. The digestive tract has serotonin receptors, like the brain, but they differ in purpose entirely. Monamines are just messenger chemicals. Their context determines the actual message. I get it... it makes sense, humans are basically worms and worms are basically digestive tracts, that's our main thing, but taking this fact and making predictive science out of it is not trivial at all and anecdotal evidence means absolutely nothing so please never ever ever ever mention it in public forums.
