Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Why should we not eat those foods? After all they have tryptophan. Sugar has to be avoided. But fruits are ok to a limit. They have fructose, not sucrose. They also have soluble fiber. Non-veg foods, particularly eggs and fish, are useful and give us many amino acids. I avoid sugar, wheat family grains, milk caseine. As I can't take milk products, I have to take whey or non-vege foods. Ratan.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Bonnie, have you tried the tryptophan-related melatonin for sleep? 3-6 mg should be all it takes Duncan > > Duncan: > > Is it the Alpha Lacatalbumin that CREATES Tryptophan?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 For sleep melatonin did not help my wife. But she was typical picture of psychomotor depression. I found cod liver oil (stimulates serotonin release) and niacin with B6 and Sunlight in the day hours very helpful . Ratan.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Ratan, candida eats fructose so the dietary limit on fruit should be a low one.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I believe it's a precursor to serotonin which is responsible for mood, appetite, motivation, etc. [ ] Tryptophan what else is tryptophan good for other than getting them to sleep?

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 In Lierre 's book THE VEGETARIAN MYTH, she says she was very short on tryptophan and it wasn't until she ate red meat that she was better. Is it true that vegetables don't give you tryptophan? I thought peanuts and other things did. Anyone know?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Haven't tried tryptophan but had good results with melatonin and/or valerian tea. Might even try relaxation exercises before sleep. Meditation also has been very helpful to quiet my mind. > > Anyone try a tryptophan supplement to help with poor sleep? > > > Thanks, > > Lori > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I used to take 5-htp (that has tryptophan) and it worked well for many things including sleep.
