My son has small intestine damage. His is actually caused by giardia (parasite) and he is not celiac, so far as we know. His doctor recommended glutamine amino acid in order to have heal his small intestine damage.

Has anyone used glutamine to help heal the damage to the intestine? I am having a nutrient test and am curious to see if I could use some.

Yes, it was instrumental in helping my own gut to heal. I highly recommend it.

I use L-Glutamine as well. I only wish I had started using it when I was first diagnosed so that I would have healed a little quicker.

I use it too. In the past I have found it very helpful with reducing exercise induced inflammation... really helps reduce muscle soreness.

I use a L-Glutamine powder as well. I don't take it as often as I should but if I suspect I've been glutened I'll take it.

Do you you have a certain dosage you take? Is powder better than a capsule?

I found that I was not deficient in glutamine, so I guess I have enough of it. My son (10)takes 2 tsp of powder. He needs to finish 1 pound or 500 grams. Then he will be done. The adult dose on the package is 1 tsp 3X a day.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
