Amino Acid Supplements- Will They Help?

I've had stomach and digestion problems (bloating, feeling of fullness, etc) for the past 3 years and none of the doctors I've seen have been able to diagnose anything. The only thing my gastro found was some irritation in my intestine. I felt horrible whenever I ate carbs so i tried to steer clear of the obvious (breads, crackers, etc.) I recently had a celiac test and it came back negative but I decided to go on a gluten free diet anyway just to see if I would feel better and I have. It's only been two weeks but my bloating has gone down and I'm starting to feel better. I've been reading a book called Diet Cure and the author recommends taking numerous amino acid supplements a day to help with energy levels as well as cravings. Has anyone tried amino acid supplements- do they work? I'm always fatigued, yet exercise regulary and get a solid 8 hrs of sleep every night. I've also had a throbbing headache for the past week which I'm assuming is from the gluten withdrawl. When will it get better???!!! Any advice from someone experiencing the same would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!

Hi,

I haven't read the Diet Cure, but I have been taking the amino acid Glutamine and it has helped me with the bloating and for some reason the brain fog also. Even pretty main stream websites say it is not only good for building muscle but also good for helping to heal the intestinal tract. The best way to take it is on an empty stomach. The only other supplements I take are a good probiotic and a B vitamin. Good luck with your healing.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
