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.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
