5htp and bloat?

Posted by Leonora on July 23, 1999, at 1:45:44

Has anyone experienced severe bloating while taking 5htp? I don't know if it's the 5htp or falling off the Atkins diet wagon that's doing it for me.

It's probably falling off the Atkins diet wagon.
The people I know who lost weight on that diet
seemed to lose it very quickly, and gain it back
very quickly...probably b/c it's mostly water weight
lost.

Is the 5htp still working for your depression?
(I'm still thinking of trying it)

>Yes, the 5HTP is still working great for depression. I hope it is the diet fall off though I didn't think I had fallen that far! I always used to cheat here and there on the diet with minimal repercussions, but I'm back to induction to see what happens.

Both SamE and 5HTP have been known to cause intestinal gas. Take a look at some message up above (I think the thread was started by me) with the words "intestinal gas." You can read about a couple of experiences. Racer offered a good work-around.

(I know that this site can be overwhelming, but there's a lot of good info. I learned about the bloating and gas here!)

> I should have known this was too good to be true. Ok--anyone out there who has been on 5htp for awhile know if the bloating/gas side effects subside? If so how long?
