I have problems with BCAA they overstimulated me in the past and I couldn't sleep plus from memory I think I became too aggressive (I am homozygous for COMT and MAO which aren't great combos).
This morning I tried to take some whey protein powder but with everything that has happened I am now intolerant of any dairy (as well as gluten) and within an hour and a half of taking a smoothie my body had eliminated it all in a very uncomfortable way! I felt awful all morning with my blood sugar all over the place and now have a migraine developing but do feel better in myself at least.
One thing I have tried this morning is half a capsule of Reishi mushroom.
I haven't read ALL of the posts in this thread, yet, but I intend to, and hi to all of you.
If you have trouble with dairy and with the bcaa's, i wonder if you might tolerate and benefit from Collagen Peptides. I have found them helpful, myself, and i do not tolerate dairy either, or many, many foods and additives.
My memory tells me that Collagen includes the bcaa's but perhaps because they are in balance with the other amino acids, they might not have that effect on you, of course I don't know, just ideas....
Mushrooms, just be on the lookout, for any signs of possible allergy to them.
