My son has small intestine damage. His is actually caused by giardia (parasite) and he is not celiac, so far as we know. His doctor recommended glutamine amino acid in order to have heal his small intestine damage.

Has anyone used glutamine to help heal the damage to the intestine? I am having a nutrient test and am curious to see if I could use some.

Yes, it was instrumental in helping my own gut to heal. I highly recommend it.

I use L-Glutamine as well. I only wish I had started using it when I was first diagnosed so that I would have healed a little quicker.

I use it too. In the past I have found it very helpful with reducing exercise induced inflammation... really helps reduce muscle soreness.

I use a L-Glutamine powder as well. I don't take it as often as I should but if I suspect I've been glutened I'll take it.

Do you you have a certain dosage you take? Is powder better than a capsule?

I found that I was not deficient in glutamine, so I guess I have enough of it. My son (10)takes 2 tsp of powder. He needs to finish 1 pound or 500 grams. Then he will be done. The adult dose on the package is 1 tsp 3X a day.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
