Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I had been seeing a naturopath in late Summer, and the first thing he had me on was a supplement with l-glutamine. Of course, that supplement and most of the other stuff he had me on were not SCD-legal... Since starting SCD, I've been working with the Hoffman Center, and they cleared my shelf of illegals, but again the first thing they gave me was l- glutamine. So far only taking it once per day in the morning, but we'll see what changes when all the test results come back. Still early for me - only been doing SCD for about a month, and only cut out all of the illegal supplements and essentially started over about 2 weeks ago. Still, feeling better than I have for the several months previous! -Sal UC since May-2007 SCD since Oct-2008 Trying to get off the prednisone! > > > > It works great for some people and not for others - so pay > attention to cramping symptoms, etc. > > > > Mara > > > > ---- Original message ---- > > >Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:43:50 -0000 > > >From: " blackguitarmaker " <autumn71A@> > > >Subject: glutamine > > >To: BTVC-SCD > > > > > >My compounding pharmacist just told me this should help heal the > gut > > >lining and help progress go faster now that my results showed no > > >inflammation - I started sat 1/2 scoop 3 times a day for a week > then up > > >to 1 scoop 3/day - anyone heard of this?? or used it - I am > feeling > > >good - coincidence or tyrptophan or just doing ok now???? > > >so hard to tell - but who cares :-) > > >eileen > > > > > > > > >------------------------------------ > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 thank you - oh so excited to hear!!! I am taking a lot more than you - hope it's ok - this is pure glutamine powder - nothing in it - I did see the other stuff on the shelves and had to tell the compounding pharm that I can't move onto those next- they all had at least aloe vera in them and tons of illegals I'm sure - but pure, I hope it does the trick-thanks eileen 9 months scd -- In BTVC-SCD , " sal.polletta " wrote: > > I had been seeing a naturopath in late Summer, and the first thing he had me on was a > supplement with l-glutamine.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Eileen You probably know by now that my body doesn't tolerate much. But just as a comparison, when I take L. Glutamine I take one capsule, which is probably about 1 scoop or maybe even half a scoop, once every 4 days. I only took L. Glutamine regularly during the first two years on SCD. Now my maintenance dose of L. Glutamine is one capsule every month, or when I start noticing an increase in food sensitivities. As always, go by your body's signals. It sounds like your body tolerates a whole lot more than mine, but I just wanted to share my dosage to give you a range of options. Kim M.
