L Glutamine Gives Me Diarrhea, I Swear My Body Is Anomaly Just Info For Others!

So everyone and their mother talks about how good l glutamine I decided to give it a shot. I took half a teaspoon once a day in the morning 45mins before I eat. After three days, I woke up one morning quickly having to use the bathroom with diarrhea, which I've not had in months.

It sucks because I do admit I feel far more energetic, this could also be why I haven't slept too well the past few nights....

judt wanted to have everyone hear that there could be a few of is out there who may not tolerate l glutamine, what a bummer!

this is interesting, my doctor suggested I get some of this as I was telling him I am exhausted some days. I did get some marked gluten, dairy, and soy free  but haven't tried it yet. it's really hard for me to try new things, I'm always afraid of getting sick. 

 

I hope you're feeling better!

sup julissa!

 

yea I bought the powdered Jarrow brand, also nothing in it but pure l-glutamine.  I COMPLETELY agree on always feeling ill, but instead for me its usually what leaves my body is how I know I've reacted, such a slow torture game so far,  it helps me to keep on a whole foods diet where I can mess with the variables. 

 

I don't think I was really ever "ready" to try it, just for how many months you eat and do the same things I just said heck with this, I'll know if it makes things worse, you know?

 

I'm not saying dont do it, in fact for how much energy I was getting I was about to sing its praises.... until I realized my bowels are possibly also getting this energy and just flushing everything out, ouch!

my health journey continues.....

I agree about trying new things, I am afraid to do that also. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm sorry you weren't well.  I've never heard of L-glutamine causing a problem in people.  Are you sure it was the cause and not something else, or even the usual ups and downs that happen in the first half year or so of recovery.

 

Perhaps try it again in a couple of weeks and see how it goes...

I do agree

sup guys!

 

Yeah I was surprised that my body reacted so quickly,  the only other ingredient that makes me scratch my head is I had ate a small cup or two of Enjoy life's chocolate chips, but that was nearly 4 days prior.   Since I have cut both out of my diet,  and since the l glutamine wasn't cheap, ha, I will try again in a few weeks.

 

My last "Glutening" was back in july, I've been eating paleo for 6 months, autoimmune paleo for 4.  gluten, dairy, soy, grain free for a year.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
