> You seem so knowledgeable I hesitate to suggest anything and AD seem to give me the opposite effect but I have severe GI issues so that is something I am familiar with so I just wondered what you have tried to combat the symptoms and if effective?
Thank you for the compliment, but I'm pretty ignorant about what to do for this problem. I've tried Metamucil, and that's about it. I just don't know of what else there is in the way of supplements? The Metamucil was not a great success -- if anything, I think it actually made the problem worse. I don't want to discuss details, but -- I think it made the problem worse...As far as the idea that the GI tract and the rest of the nervous system are linked, that's very true. Most of the serotonin in the body is actually found in the GI tract, not the brain or CNS. That's why so many serotinergic medications have GI side effects.
So, if you have any ideas, please let me know...
