Antibiotics can cause IBS, so does sorbitol...
The gut really is a second brain and effectively has it's own senses and ways to react that are independent of the actual brain. 90% of serotonin we produce is done in the gut.
It's really fascinating stuff to read about, essentially antibiotics and food additives can literally have you hallucinating since the loss of a healthy gut biome means less nutrients (like b 12) and can seemingly have far reaching consequences.
In terms of serotonin there's the other side of the coin too, if the gut produces too much there's a chance of serotonin syndrome.
