I have been taking 5HTP for years now. I was on 200Mg a day and now take 150MG a day. For the first 3 years I didnt have any problems which Is why when my intestinal pains started I didnt even consider it to be 5HTP. It still may not be 5HTP i dont know, I mean my diet is atrocious but I have been reading about how your intestines rely on neurotransmitters and 5HTp can cause problems, pains, cramps diarrhea ( a rather unpleasent one I experience often). Does anyone else have these problems? I think I may have to come off 5HTP completely! My bowels have been telling me they are unhappy for the last few years, I had colonoscopy and tests but the gastroenterologist didnt ask about 5HTP and I stupidly didnt mention it at the time. He diagnosed IBS but I think its definately the 5HTP. Thanks in advance for replies peeps
