Help Support Crohn's Disease Forum:
I also have been reading Ray Peat's article on serotonin. He had already linked excess serotonin to inflammation and TNF. It doesn't sound like new knowledge but I wonder how many Crohn's patients actually know about this.
It would be interesting if repurposing SSRI actually helps tame Crohn's.
Are you saying SSRI drugs help or hurt Crohn's?
I really like these two articles from Ray Peat on serotonin:
1) http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/serotonin-disease-aging-inflammation.shtml
2) http://raypeat.com/articles/aging/tryptophan-serotonin-aging.shtml
He offers some diet advice too:
In the traditional diet, rather than just eating muscle meats, all the animal parts were used. Since collagen makes up about 50% of the protein in an animal, and is free of tryptophan, this means that people were getting about half as much tryptophan in proportion to other amino acids when they used foods such as “head cheese,” ox-tails, and chicken feet.
I'd like to get your take on these two articles as well @MrWheat @Pilgrim

I dunno I failed Chemistry and hate Biology lol. But I wonder if I should be taking collagen supplement now you really explained it well thanks!
How about bone broth? There is so much of goodness if you just cook it for a long time.
