1) Thanks to everyone. I don't post much...but every so often. I have only suffered from this for a couple years (though I still am young) and can feel or all of you. But thanks to everyone who posts here, I know this is the place where I get most of my info and a lot of help from this site.
2) People knowledgable in this, what do you think about raising serotonin levels?
Low levels of Serotonin have been associated with several disorders, such as depression, migraine headaches, premature ejaculation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), tinnitus, fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder and anxiety.
Do you think this could be a help? Any idea? I appreciate the help.Advertisement

Hi 68391,
I am most certainly not an expert, and my first reaction was to associate serotonin with the nervous system and not the digestive system. BUT THEN, I did a little research online, and found this interesting article entitled, Serotonin - Metabolism http://www.pharmacorama.com/en/Sections/Serotonin_2_1.php. It is very scientific in nature, but I did find the following section interesting, and I quote,
Serotonin is found in many tissues:
- In the digestive tract which contains about 95% of the total amount of serotonin of the body, localized in enterochromaffin cells.
- in the central nervous system of all species: higher concentrations are found in brainstem than in cortex. Serotonin, released by presynaptic serotonergic neurons in synaptic clefts, activates specific receptors and is partly reuptaken by presynaptic neurons.
- in platelets: practically all blood serotonin (concentration going from 100 to 200 micrograms per liter) is found in platelets which do not synthesize it, but take it from plasma where it is released by enterochromaffin cells. The uptake of serotonin by platelets is very fast. The half-life of serotonin in platelets is the same as that of platelets, i.e. five or six days. Serotonin released from platelets in plasma has a relatively localized effect on the vessels where it is released, for example during migraine.
The half-life of serotonin is long in platelets and intestine, and very short, a few minutes, in the brain. The concentration of a compound in an organ, static view of a dynamic phenomenon, is not necessarily a good representation of metabolic activity and turn-over.
Melatonin found in plasma is released from the pineal gland. Its plasma concentration decreases during ageing.
(end of quote)
I wonder if this has ever been looked at before by the scientific community in relation to body odor.

If you want to research this further, you can go to your search engine and type the following keywords,
"serotonin" + "metabolism" + "digestion"
and you'll find articles that have these three words in them.
Good luck.
