Ah, excellent post! 😌

The gut sends more signals to the brain than vice versa.

Your gut and brain are in constant communication through nerves and chemical signals. They're so close that they can feel each other's pain. If you have a condition that affects your digestive system or nervous system, it may also involve the other.

For example, gut bacteria manufacture about 95 percent of the body's supply of serotonin, which influences both mood and GI activity.
