Okay, did some more reading on this and found that diarrhea and peptic ulcers are the common TOXICITY symptom of taurine supplementation.

The good news is that this probably means it is a dose dependant reaction and does not necessarily contraindicate tarine for you.

The best approach I could advice would be to completely go off until the symptoms stop then add 500 mgs to 1 gram a day until the symptoms return. Then go back down a gram and see if you can stay on that dose with no problem.

I might add that 6 grams a day is considered an upper range for even therapeutic use like cardiovascular problems.

Hope that helps, Sleazy.
