Glutamic Acid

I was reading DogtorJ's G.A.R.D. article, and was thinking about what he had to say about glutamic acid.

He mentioned something brief in that article about how he was now investigating the presence of glutamic-acid in grain-fed meat.

I don't think it would be hard-pressed to think that all the glutamic acid from wheat/grains could get into grain-fed dairy products...

Maybe thats why some of us have success eliminating all gluten grains, but also dairy and eggs...since those things are fed grains/soy/etc that have high amounts of glutamic acid??

Possibly??

Anyone?

Bueller?

From my research, glutamic acid is particularly harmful when it is unbound. That is, if it isn't contained in or attached to another, larger molecule. This is known as free glutamic acid, more commonly referred to as MSG. These things are neurotoxic, and can have serious effects on the brain and body. Check www.truthinlabeling.org for more details.

AFAIK, the level of free glutamic acid in grains isn't particularly high.

RiceGuy, have you read any of DogtorJ's stuff??

I just checked out that link...

See DogtorJ takes that all further and goes to show that gluten is like 30% glutamic acid by weight...and how soy/corn/casein also have glutamic acid in them..

dogtorj.net, check out the GARD article..

Right now i'm trying again to cut out all dairy, meat, eggs etc...that were fed any soy, corn, or grains. This is going to be SO fun...haha..but if I don't give it 2 weeks I might be shooting myself in the foot if it works and I never tried.

Sure, glutamic acid is in a lot of stuff, and you might very well find it helpful to limit it. My research on it has been more focused on the free form, but I'm sure DogtorJ has some valid points.

And certainly I agree that it is worth a try, just as the gluten-free diet is for many more people than ever do.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
