Seretonin       12/23/03 05:50 AM Edit Reply Quote Shellsbells Reged: 12/16/03 Posts: 218 Loc: NW England, UK I'm not sure how true this is, but I remember reading about low seretonin levels in the brain and that how you eat can help this. It suggested that you need to eat some protein with each meal and then in the evening eat a carbohydrate snack (no protein) which will help both to boost seretonin levels and the conversion to tryptophan. Especially good foods I believe are turkey and bananas. I'm sure this fits/could be adapted to the IBS diet. I think I read about this stuff in the British mental health charity MIND - who produce a guide to 'food and mood' and also there's a book called 'potatoes not prozac'. This might be useful to try in addition to your meds. Hope it helps Shellsbells Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
