Absolutely! The other wonky thing with my health is that I have had Vagal Atrial Fibrillation (VAF) in the past (which is rare for someone in their 30s).
One trigger for VAF is indigestion in the stomach, which irritates the vagal nerve, which messes with the heart. The vagal nerve also runs into the brain, so I bet there is some form of two way conversation happening between the stomach and brain being facilitated by something like the vagal nerve.
To your point, when I was heavily symptomatic, I felt depressed (deeper then just being sad about my situation), and changing my eating habits cleared that up, and in your case, fixing the brain chemicals seemed to have benefitted your stomach.
Its just a guess on my part, but this is really all fascinating stuff.
