Liftmode L-Theanine destroyed my insides

I just purchased some supplements from Liftmode (I love Liftmode), including L-Theanine, which I have heard great things about. I tried one of the orange scoops (it measures about 230mg of L-Theanine) that Liftmode includes, and took it along side a cup of coffee. It was great - I was focused yet did not experience any of the jitteryness.
Later that afternoon I experienced some stomach discomfort and I brushed it off. I took another scoop (~230mg) in the evening and laid down for bed. Soon after, I experienced the most explosive diarrhea I have ever encountered in my life. I blasted water out of my asshole like a supersoaker at least 4 times, destroying my bathroom. I was awake until the wee hours of the night going back and forth between the bathroom, scared to go to bed in fear I would shit the sheets. The diarrhea continues to this afternoon despite skipping L-Theanine today. I had to fart earlier at work and nearly had an accident.
Has anyone else experienced this from L-Theanine? Its a shame because I love the mental effects.

Hi Stage3 - sorry to hear about your terrible experience!
Could it have been something else you ate? Explosive diarrhea doesn't sound typical for L-Theanine in general, or our L-Theanine in particular, but anything is possible.
We do test our L-Theanine for identity, purity, optical rotation, as well as heavy metals and microbiological contaminants (verifying absence of E. coli, salmonella, etc).
It doesn't look like you've contacted us yet about this. Please get in touch with us by phone or email and we'll definitely refund / replace your order, as well as getting the container info so we can look further into the specific material batch and production date you received. Thanks!

I highly doubt it was your L-theanine that cause the diarrhea. Haha
