My ND has me taking 1 tsp of L-Glutamine(free form) which are 5g each.

She has me doing this for my stomach. Is this ok? Should I stop, and

should I tell my mom to stop...she's been taking it for about 6 months

now, I just started 1 month ago.

I honestly wish I could understand the article but I can;t, that's why

I am asking for your help.

Thanks,

I wasn't real clear about the L-glutamine vs. free glutamate issue,

but I do know quite a bit about free glutamate and after reading

mercola's article, and digging out the book " Excitotoxins " by Dr.

Blaylock, it seems clear that we should NOT take L-glutamine

because it converts into glutamate in the body and affects the brain.

The only safe glutamine is that which is naturally found in foods as

an amino acid because it is bound with other compounds that prevent it

from converting to free glutamate once we ingest it.

google russell blaylock--he is the expert on the subject and is the

one mercola was quoting.

Well, see, that makes me wonder. In whey protein, the L-glutamine isn't

ADDED, it is naturally there along with the other amino acids natural to

whey, which is isolated from milk. I use only un-denatured whey, so the

amino acids aren't heat damaged.

I would think a person could tell if they were having adverse reactions

to supplemental L-glutamine. IF no adverse reactions are experienced

what is the problem? Yeah, I should google and read more, but I'm at my

absolute limit on reading at the moment.

For all the info from one guru on one side of this issue, there are

others who say it is not only ok, but beneficial. Both are very convincing.
