Re: Not sleeping since started SCD- Ideas?/tryptophan in cheeses

[Guest guest]

now i look at tryptophan in cheeses and there is possibly the same

issue with yogurt is that bacterially culured cheeses are destructive

of the tryptophan.......... the bacteria catabolise it. unlike say

cottage cheese(creamed in the following link) which has about 1.1%

tryptophan cultured cheeses like brie, camembert cheddar contain

about .3% tyrptophan.

whey is about 1% trytptophan.

so there is some sort of trade off of bacterial fermentation reducing

tryptophan and proably other nutrients as well as lactose.
