I'm convinced I need to be taking l-glutamine to help fix a leaky gut / help lyme symptoms but it seems I cannot tolerate it at all. Even just 500mg a couple times a day makes me so irritable I'm actually scared for myself and everyone around me. It turns me into an angry, psychotic, mess.
I think this is due to too much ammonia. I don't understand the whole glutamine supplementation thing. I've read multiple sources saying that it helps clear ammonia out of the body and I also have read multiple sources saying it contributes to the load of ammonia in the body. SO WHICH ONE IS IT!??! It seems noone knows what the hell they are actually talking about.
How Am I supposed to fix all these allergies, brainfog, intestinal problems, etc. without glutamine? I've been taking colostrum and triphala and seacure with minimal improvement. Tried Lugol's with cofactors...high dose vitamin c. you name it, i tried it. I have stopped improving and resort to opiates and cannabis to feel alright these days.
I want to start improving but I do not know what to do!!! I eat so healthy compared to everyone I know they think I'm insane. Logically, I should be the healthiest person out of anyone I know from what I put into my body but, alas, I'm sick as hell and can't function!!!!- Re: Problems taking L-Glutamine! Do... Iceman1981

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,015,165Have you tried aloe vera juice? It is very good for healing the gut. I use this one:

The liquid is better, but if you want aloe vera soft gels then this is what I use when I travel:

I use L-Glutamine 5g twice a day with no problems at all. It has healed my gut and my allergies to certain foods are gone. I use this one:

This is a reply to # 2,015,181its annoying how everyone i talk to says it works great for them. I think im still battling candida even after three years of antifungals...wtf
what other reason would excess ammonia be coming from?
And if lyme spirochetes produce glutamine. do i even need to take it?- Re: Problems taking L-Glutamine! Do... gatorkea

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,015,189sorry this is kind of late, but L-Glutamine is bad if you have blood Sugar problems. Not sure how that really works but it does, and I also had problems taking it.

This is a reply to # 2,015,676Hi acrossthe veil,
Maybe you are looking in the wrong direction withammonia. from my experience and readings glutamine indeed helps leaky gut and nourish the lining BUT in some cases can feed some patogens like bacteria or even candida.
my understanding is also that everyhting is easy to be eaten like flour/powder is easily to be eaten also by other guyr than your gut.
I have similar problem with glutamine - I use to take it with great success before I developed candida and bacterial overgrowth. but not anymore...it makes my gut "mushy" and have nausea, allergies you name it.
the same thing happened with aloe vera. It contains polysacharides and if you have SIBO / bacteria for example is a big NO NO. Aloe makes me worst.
what i learned form here is not everything is recommended is usefull for ME. some use to recommend me coconut flour as being ok for candida. for me is not.so you are not alone :) chill out and test yourself.
you could take that in consideration.

This is a reply to # 2,015,189Try looking into boron/Borax, reportedly fungals have a very hard time swimming and living in it. As for the parasitties that are a part of lymes disease, salt-pushing and oil pulling together with the greens-rich clean diet might just be the ticket. Salts alter the body climate (PH, etc) that the critters love, into one they can barely stand.
As for pain on L-glutamine at a high dose, I'm not wildly surprised- I've had adverse reactions myself to expectedly healthy things, such as vitamin D combined with magnesium. It was not bad to have that combo, but it was too stressful for my system when done without somewhere for the toxins to go.. and i had more to learn about how to detoxify the liver! Now i use dandylionroot/milk thistle tea, and I want to order home some b-100 complex and TMG (tri-methyl-glycine) to support the liver detox further.
The stumbling block with supplements is pretty much always that they're lacking their co-factors- and the state of your body dictates how much nutrient it can itself absorb and use- so sometimes less is more.

This is a reply to # 2,015,165If none of the above has helped, check out Amy Yasko's site: "DrAmyYasko.com" and search for glutamine, excitotoxins, etc. You'll find info about glutamine as a contributor to excessive excitotoxin activity- which could explain your irritability on taking it. Sorry I can't do a better job explaining this!
There are other ways to address leaky gut- testing your food allergies , some herbs (slippery elm?) etc.
Good luck,

This is a reply to # 2,015,165I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AND KNOW HOW YOU FEEL . HERE GOES ANOTHER PRODUCT YOU MUST GET TO KEEP TAKING L GLUTAMINE. IT IS CALLED NutraBio L-Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate 2:1 OKG -IT MOPS UP ALL THE AMMONIA BOTH FROM THE GLUTAMINE AND THE DEAD CANDIDA. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT WHENEVER I'M KILLING LOADS OF BAD BACTERIA & parasites THAT I SEE IN A DUMP I CAN NOT P E E. I GET SCARED BECAUSE IT COMES OUT BUT I HAVE TO STRAIN WITH ALL MY MIGHT AND THEN NOT ALL COMES OUT. SO I STOP THE SUPPLEMENTS FOR A DAY OR TWO. IN THAT TIME ALL I KILLED GROW BACK AGAIN AND MY FACE & ARMS BREAK OUT, MEANING THE UNDIGESTED FOOD IS LEAKING THRU THE GUT. I CAN'T DO A Liver Flush BECAUSE THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I CAN'T PEE, THE LIVER, KIDNEYS, PANCRES & GALLBLADDER ARE FULL OF STONES & OR CANDIDA. THE MORE WE BUY THE MORE WE HAVE TO BUY BECAUSE IF WE STOP SHORT OF WHAT MIGHT WORK THEN WE CHEATED OURSELVES. I HAVE GOOD DAYS & USUALLY AFTERNOONS BUT WHEN NIGHT TIME COMES ALL HELL HITS ME. IM READY TO FAST ON FRIGGIN WATER BUT CANDIDA PROBABLY WOULD FIND A WAY TO EAT THAT TOO OR LAY DORMIT UNTILL I EAT AGAIN OR DIE FIRST. THIS IS THE WORST PROBLEM I HAVER HAVE HAD MY ENTIRE LIFE.
ANY HOPE THAT PRODUCT HELPS YOU.
