Jeff, there are some simple findings in the gut-brain field, but mostly it's terrifically complex. The Brunner's gland research shows that the gut-brain axis goes both ways: stress affects the amygdala which affects mucus production and the growth of Lactobacillus. That in turn can affect levels of stress. It's biology, so nothing is simple. Nature always goes for baroque...
Scott I love simple when it comes to the Gut-Brain Axis, but man the tsunami of press lately on the mapping circuitry and the Brunners gland involvement was some must-read stuff. But as you say, NONE of that happens without your list of foods.
