Anyone Get Wierd Reaction From L-glutamine?

My system is very sensitive. My doctor started me on L-Glutamine but told me to take it very slowly. I started with 1/3 of a 500 mg. capsule a day and now am taking a full capsule in the morning. I feel strange for a couple hours after taking it and then the feeling goes away. The bottle says to take 1-3 capsules daily. I will not increase my dose until I see my doctor again.

Since L-Glutamine is suppose to help with healing the intestines, how long does a person need to take it? Is it just a matter of a couple months or should I stay on it forever?

Can you try taking it before bed?

I am still trying to work out some insomnia issues. At this time, I don't want to risk it interfering with my sleep. If I sleep O.K. the next few nights, I'll give it a try at bedtime.

I got a big can of it when I was first diagnosed. I would put a couple teaspoons in some milk along with some Ovaltine Classic Chocolate. I never noticed anything untoward after drinking it.

best regards, lm

Also you could check with the company making your Brand to see if it's gluten free. Maybe they have a binder or filler that contains gluten.

The bottle states it contains no sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, corn, gluten, soy, dairy products, artificial flavoring, artificial coloring or preservatives. It contains rice flour and has a vegetable poysaccharide capsule. Never heard of the capsule ingredient before.

Still wondering how much I should take and how long I should take it. Today I didn't take any. I want to see if I quit smelling cigarette smoke when there is none. I can smell it in my house (at times) and at my brother's house. My brother is a smoker but only smokes outside. We haven't allowed smoking in our house for close to 30 years. It is so weird that I started smelling this. No one else does.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
