Side effects
5-HTP tyrosine dopa GI upset
carbohydrate intolerance: In 1999 as we pushed
the dosing of
5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa, and cysteine higher and got
rid of prescription drugs that work with
serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter
molecules from the
picture in treatment we began to get
reports of people who were
experiencing GI upset several weeks or
months into treatment. Initially we
thought this was from serotonin and
dopamine neurotransmitter
depletion, but it did not make sense.
How could people under treatment for
several months now be
experiencing serotonin and dopamine
neurotransmitter depletion problems? It took
us seven months of intensive serotonin
and dopamine neurotransmitter patient
care to find the answer. These people
all were fully adjusted out on their
5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa, and cysteine to obtain the desired
serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter clinical response and the answer was
that they were experiencing problems
with “carbohydrate intolerance”. These
were primarily medical weight loss
people who need higher levels of
serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter molecules and
5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa, and cysteine to
obtain the desired response. In weight
loss as people are placed in appetite
suppression with prescription serotonin
and norepinephrine drugs and/or
5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa, and cysteine, in many
people the
physical response is to food changes. In
this case it was their response to
carbohydrates. We found that it was not
all carbohydrates but highly selective
and usually involved just one
carbohydrate. Typically the GI upset
occurred in the morning about 2 to 3
hours after breakfast, although the
problem could be seen anytime during the
day. Most common foods were breads,
noodles, and cereals, although rare
cases were seen such as the woman who
ate fried chicken almost every day and
the problem was tracked down to the
breading on the chicken. The treatment
is to simply remove or change the food
involved. For example, I had a 54 year
old male present for a clinic visit at
10 AM who was complaining of GI upset at
the clinic visit. I asked him, “What did
you ear for breakfast?” He said, “Two
eggs and two pieces of white bread”. I
immediately said, “It is your bread.” He
changed from white bread to whole wheat
bread and never had another problem
until a month later when he ate a piece
of white bread.
