Glutamate & GAPS diet questions

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm sure there's more than one person here who has already done the research on

excess glutamate and MS. My main question is whether ingested L-glutamine will

always metabolize to glutamate. My acupuncturist recommended L-glutamine in a

therapeutic dose (about 1500mg/day) as part of a protocol for healing leaky gut.

However, if this will exacerbate glutamate problems, it's not worth attempting!

So, I'm wondering about the correlation between ingestion of the amino acid and

glutamate production in the brain.

, I'm also wondering what you are eating these days as part of the GAPS

diet. If I remember correctly, prior to that you had a diet along the lines of

Weston Price and Sally Fallon. I really would like to feel like I'm making some

progress with healing my gut, I think what I've been doing for many months now

is not doing the trick.

Thanks for any help!
