5-htp - best for what IBS symptoms?       01/07/10 10:11 PM Edit Reply Quote PMartin Reged: 08/05/08 Posts: 140 Loc: Niagara Region I didn't come on the forum tonight with 5-htp in mind, but like Vettech, I'm going to take advantage of the "bump" as I'm still on the fence about trying it. My first concern when I hear of something for the first time is to decipher what IBS symptoms it's best for. C to D are worlds apart but so many times a simple and all to ambiguous classification of IBS is used. So with this thread I looked at who felt it helped, who felt it didn't and who was undecided and what each of their symptoms were (if they indicated) and if you do the same, you will notice very mixed results not really giving me any clear indication. And I think it is Borelli who states that "if you have D and your body is supposedly producing too much seratonin then adding more is not a good thing." Do you have a source for this information? With that said, I checked the protein that I take and see that it has Tryptophan in it - 459 mg per serving. I take this protein 3-4 times a week (not for IBS but part of an exercise program) and wonder how that fits in? -------------------- IBS-D. Or so a doctor says.
