Pages: 1 5HTP supplement? and multi-vit       #327087 - 03/23/08 04:12 PM Edit Reply Quote kristy251 Reged: 03/23/08 Posts: 1 Has anyone taken 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP) or even ever heard of it? I have searched the site and can't find any reference to it. I have read that it can help your seratonin levels and has had good results. Also, any suggestions for the best brand of multivitamins for IDS-c? thanks!

While seritonin receptors are thought to play a role in IBS there is no research evidence supporting the use of 5-HTP supplements for IBS. Hopefully someone will give you advice about multi-vits. I don't take any. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
