Ghrelin...Another log on the fire!!!       12/07/09 07:00 AM Edit Reply Quote PMartin Reged: 08/05/08 Posts: 140 Loc: Niagara Region I was going through the posts on 5-htp trying to determine if I would try it or not (I think I'll pass for now as I get the impression it's better suited for IBS-C than IBS-D) but I took a detour to get a definition of Fibromyalgia and found this bit of particular interest... Other symptoms often attributed to fibromyalgia that may possibly be due to a comorbid disorder include myofascial pain syndrome, also referred to as chronic myofascial pain, diffuse non-dermatomal paresthesias, functional bowel disturbances and irritable bowel syndrome (possibly linked to lower levels of ghrelin) from Wikipedia So naturally I looked into it and came across this Ghrelin Ghrelin is a hormone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghrelin and I'm not sure how it would be increased or decreased depending on whether you're targeting IBS-C or IBS-D. -------------------- IBS-D.
