He said that antidepressants are often used to treat symptoms of bowel disorders, as serotonin is proliferate in the gut. But he couldn't explain why they help...what's up with that?

So far I'm not disappointed with the tianeptine. Even if it only helps some of my symptoms it's worth taking. They were so debilitating.Thanks for the update Casse.
I knew about the serotonin being proliferate in the gut, and confirmed in me whenever I started any antiD with vomiting etc :)
I've had some wheezing and coughing since my last attempt at ldn, but attributed it to my thryoid meds not being compounded(I know that povidone causes a mild asthma as do some other 'inert" fillers- body reacts to the "inert" bit and attacks it I suppose).
I'm wondering now as mine is lifting I think since stopping the ldn if perhaps the ldn was a cause of the asthma(tight chest felt yesrtady by osteopath, and "hard" to breathe as well as the wheeze on exertion), my cough has gone since stopping and the asthma appears to be lifting? Just wondered if you can time your improvement also to the ceasing of the ldn? Also were you on compounded ldn or the tablets. if tablets, mine were from India (Revia I think?). Just wondered if its the fillers also.
Good luck with any op you may need.
I have never had anything resembling GI symptoms myself, although I felt a pain in my intestines until my op last year, and difficulty with constipation... they looked Ok at least from the outside when they opened me up..I've lotsa lovely photos, LOL, and strnagely whatever pushing occurred in the op stopped the problem , no idea ?
Good luck with everything,
tea
