tryptophan RP
RP stool test tryptophan
The stool tryptophan test is a laboratory test used to measure the levels of kryptopyrroles in stool samples. Kryptopyrroles are chemical compounds that can occur in elevated levels in some people with certain neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as autism, ADHD, depression and anxiety disorders.
Elevated levels of kryptopyrroles may indicate an abnormal metabolic pathway of tryptophan, an essential amino acid involved in the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
Although the tryptophan test from stool can be useful as part of a comprehensive evaluation of neurological and psychiatric symptoms, it is important to note that elevated levels of kryptopyrroles are not specific to a particular disorder and do not always correlate with symptom severity. Moreover, the test is not routinely used in clinical practice and is often considered an additional test that must be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data.
INDICAN
A waste product that passes into the urine when the amino acid tryptophan is inadequately broken down by bacteria in the intestines. Increased levels of this degradation product are indicative of a putrefactive dysbiotic intestinal biota in the ileum (SIBO).I
Indican and Skatol are wastes that end up in the urine when the amino acid tryptophan is inadequately broken down by bacteria in the intestines. Increased levels of these breakdown products, is an indication of a putrefactive dysbiotic intestinal biota in the ileum (small intestine). This is called SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) or SBOG (Small Bowel Overgrowth Syndrome).
Elevated values of Indican and Skatol may indicate:
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
Carcinogenic process, e.g., development of a plasmocytoma Metabolic disease Phenylketonuria (PKU)
Tryptophan-rich diet (lots of meat) Bladder problems
Fluor albus Bile disorder
Liver function disorder Kidney disorder
Also add vitamin B3 to research:
Vitamin B3 is found in several foods: meat and fish, nuts, grain products, vegetables, potatoes and fruits. In addition, the body can make vitamin B3 in part from the amino acid tryptophan (a building block of protein).
