Just wanted to throw out there that there was a study that L-Glutamine

is contraindicative with peeps with CD.

Glutamine

Glutamine is sometimes advocated as being beneficial in the management

of inflammation. Although not an essential amino acid, glutamine is

believed to play a role in the maintenance of the colonic mucosal

barrier, and is an energy substrate for colonic cells. It is believed

that altered mucosal permeability can foster translocation of colonic

flora and/or toxins, contributing and/or initiating an inflammatory

response.

However, not all of the studies regarding glutamine show positive

benefit in IBD. When administered in a trinitrobenzenesulfonic

acid-induced colitis model, there was actually a worsening of

intestinal inflammation. Other studies in different models, however,

have shown an improvement. As suggested by Akobeng and colleagues,[28]

there may be an optimal level of glutamine necessary for improvement;

alteration from that level may have deleterious effects.

There are possible reasons why excess glutamine may not serve a

beneficial purpose. It is understood that glutamine up-regulates the

immune system. Glutamine is also a precursor to nitric oxide. Nitric

oxide plays a key role in inflammation and injury and hence may not be

beneficial to patients with IBD.[28,29]
