L-DOPA last night gave me fantastic dreams but sure seemed to upset my gut today.
Then I read how much better Hordenine might be. It is a powerful nootropic for mood and concentration but is also a MAOI and could also mess up UC.

Hordenine also has the benefit of helping to slow the digestion of food. This is also largely responsible for the supplement acting as an apparent appetite suppressant, since it makes it possible to last more time between meals. This, in turn, lowers overall caloric intake, speeds satiation during eating, and eliminates hunger pains and other food cravings. This means huge potential for anyone on a diet.
Possible bad side effects :

"Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) inhibit the breakdown of dietary amines, including histamine and tyramine. In addition to contributing to histamine overload, these drugs can also drive blood pressure dangerously high when tyramine rich foods are consumed. MAOI drugs are typically the antidepressants...intervention is warranted particularly if there is a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease."
Seratonin connection :

In fact, the majority of our serotonin is produced in the gut, roughly 95%...Therefore, if we have too little, or too much serotonin floating around we can experience all kinds of common gut issues."
