I've also been looking for natural stuff that would act as CCK Antagonist, as I would likely not take a real medication that would be a CCK antagonist, because it just feels like a drastic move and who knows what the consequences would be.
All I seem to have come up with is Gotu Kola, and haven't managed to figure out if it's supposed to be a CCK agonist or antagonist. The resource material just refers to it as a remedy for Gastrointestinal problems and a nerve tonic, an attribute used by folk medicine docs when referring to every herbal remedy there is out there.
I'm just mildly interested because there's some research on the internet indicating certain anxiety disorders are related to CCK and may be resolved by CCK antagonists. These cases usually began with gastrointestinal changes before the anxiety.
Mine did.
