Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Have you tried the L-Ornithine yet? It is an amino acid, which of course, is a component of protein. L-Tryptophan isn't too bad either but think that the first is better for us. RE: Re: HB Only Foodlist Axel wrote: > Maskell still thinks oatmeal will solve ALL her problems You must have missed a few posts. I've given up oatmeal for protein and fat before bed. Final results won't be in until I'm back to a normal schedule. I've been on vacation since I began this program and my sleep schedule has been somewhat unpredictable as a result. I'm opting for salmon or walnuts before bed, depending upon the time & substance of my last meal. As for oatmeal, I have only relayed what I have read and it's relative success. It is recommended in - and I have quoted from - the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. Insomnia is what brought me to this program and oatmeal saved my life, allowing me to *finally* sleep through the night. Now that I am sleeping, I am willing to experiment - especially in light of the fact that oatmeal is a grain and a carbohydrate, even if it is neutral for type O secretors. I am a bit concerned that protein - which generally promotes mental alertness - will be a problem for me if consumed so close to bedtime. Only time - and experimentation - will tell.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Can you tell me more about L-ornithine? Any downside? Ann RE: - Sleep probs Have you tried the L-Ornithine yet?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 I never noticed any downside. Amino acids are simply the breakdowns of protein. There are 22 amino acids that makeup a complete protein. Incomplete proteins do not contain all of them. L-Ornithine. There could be any number of amino acids that may help you with sleep.
