Researchers have identified two gut bacteria that can produce serotonin, a key chemical that regulates bowel movements. In experiments with mice lacking serotonin, the microbes boosted serotonin levels, increased nerve cells in the colon, and normalized intestinal movement. The study also found that people with IBS have lower levels of one of these bacteria. The discovery suggests gut microbes could become a powerful new target for treating digestive disorders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
