Hi.............Has anyone had any experience with L Glutamine?

I've found a ntritional supplement from a UK company (Biocare) that suggests it can help speed up the recovery process.

I've done a quick search on google and it seems to divide opinion.

Many thanks, Hal

I got a can of it and used it for a while after I was first diagnosed. I couldn't tell anything one way or the other. I did have an exceptionally speedy recovery however. I think body builders use that stuff, and a lot of amino acids.

best regards and a speedy recovery, lm

Thanks for that Larry, I think I've just lost a bit of confience when it comes to what I ingest and what harm it can do.

Stupidly I've spent yrs with ill health and only just been diagnosed (didn't fit the regular symptoms), I'm eager to make a recovery but worried I may make matters worse by not being patient.

I guess, give it a go and hope for the best, Hal

I have been using glutamine for the last few months. Recently tried to back off some of the supplements including glutamine, and found that GI symptoms increased again. So, I'm back to taking it twice a day. I do think it helps, and in complete contrast with Larry Mac, I do not seem to be on the speedy recovery track. I'm in month 8 of gluten-free and still having some symptoms (although things overall are much MUCH better than last spring/summer).

I think it's worth a trial to see if it helps you.

I'm on L-glutamine as well. My gut is improving so I think it has helped. I am over a year gluten free (diagnosed Nov 07) and I'm taking quite a long time to heal. My anemia has resolved but my ferritin is still way too low (13 up from 9 in april). I have discovered other food intolerances (all legumes, all nightshades and carregeenan) and going off of those foods have made quite a difference in how I feel. I also have adrenal fatigue, so I'm on support for that. It took a few weeks on those supplements and then I noticed an increase in my energy. This recovery, for me, has been very slow but still recovering. I need to remind myself just how sick I had been, so that I don't get overwhelmed with still not being 100% well yet. I did go undiagnosed for 32 years, so my road to health has been a bit rocky.

Hey thanks for this info. I'm going to see my Dr. tomorrow and will ask her about this. I'm hyper sensitive and would love anything that can help in recovery.

I tried L-glutamine for about a month, and it didn't seem to make any difference. My B12 was a bit low, and I had injections of that, which did seem to help with the extreme fatigue I had.

My doctor gave me some of this today so I'm trying it. She says it also helps control sugar cravings and that they give it to their diabetics to help with that. I'm all for less sugar cravings! I'll let you know how it works after I've been on it for awhile.

      Safe and Forbidden lists

      By Julie Max · Posted

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
