Hi Larry,
It was rude of me not to ask you how trucking has been going? Hope you have been safe on the road.

If you feel better after adding this to your diet, then you likely have a protein digestion problem, not a tryptophan usage problem, or deficiency.Larry, do you mean that by trying hydrolysed protein supplements do you mean a whey protein? I am not sure what you mean by "protein digestion problem." Do you mean trouble digesting or trouble with amount and type of protein? Sorry for not being able to grasp this very well right now.
In the past I think whey protein caused constipation. This is hard to confirm, but is there other proteins such as goat milk that would be advisable? I ask this because I read a book by the guy that markets "garden of life" products. He sells and uses goat protein. Have you checked out these products? He talks about probiotics too. I think you would find it quite interesting. I got borrowed the book from the library.
Here is a link about the book and the products. Your scientific opinion would be appreciated.http://primaldefenseandbeyond.com/patienthealthyselfbook.html
Most of the products are quite expensive.
> I see no possible adverse effects in using equine tryptophan supps. People care more about the health of their horses than they do about other people, IMHO.>I hear you on that one. Nobody brushes me down after riding me all day :)
Do you think the ultra-pure is the better route or doesn't it matter to you? I have no clue to be perfectly honest.
I looked at the paleo diet. Wow, no beans either. My wife is Asian and soy sauce is used so much. I am a fruit lover so that appears to be no problem. I am afraid of nuts because of the high fat content.
One last question. Have you ever tried "green" products such as "kyo green" which is made up of wheat and barely grass, kelp, chorella, and brown rice? It has no artificial colors and flavors, dairy products, gluten, preservatives, sodium, yeast. Sorry for being full of questions and thank you for your input.
About the only thing I can do is report on what I take and pray for us. Hard to have faith in times like these.
Your a good friend Larry and I cannot thank you enough.
