Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Sorry, Pamela, I could have stated that better. You are correct. I have used L-glutamine for leaky gut syndrome problems also and found it to be very effective.

My understanding is that L-glutamine is an amino acid that is an important building block for several neurotransmitters. It is not a neurotransmitter itself. Neurotransmitters are special chemicals made and used by the brain cells (neurons) to communicate with each other. L-glutamine is a miracle worker in restoring the structural integrity of the intestines. (Good for leaky gut.) Find a job, post your resume. http://careers.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 " L-Glutamine is a miracle worker in restoring the structural integrity of the intestines... " Would that extend to the esophagus? I suffer from hiatal hernia. Aside from powerful acid-blocking drugs such as Prilosec, as well as a couple of highly controversial and potentially dangerous and very invasive surgeries, there's nothing much that can be done about a weakened esophageal sphincter.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Well, John, research has proved that supplementation of L-glutamine lessens stomach inflammation caused by chemotherapy. Dosages of just 1.5 grams per day have been used to treat peptic ulcers. I would definitely try it. Powdered L-glutamine is the easiest and most economical way to take the amino acid. Good luck with it, Pam > - > " Elaine121 " <Elaine121 > > Sunday, November 11, 2001 7:58 PM > Amino Acid > > > > Thanks so much!

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Thanks Pamela I've been buying aminos from Jo Mar Laboratories. Their prices are good. But I don't know if " quality, " is much of an issue with different brands of amino acids, and I certainly don't know how Jo Mar compares to other amino acid suppliers; but I've never seen their prices beaten. I've never tried L-Glutamine, but I'm going to check their catalog for L-Glutamine, and order some. Have you any idea whether Glutamine is one of those amino acids that is best taken, initially, in low does, say 1/2 gm, and building up, gradually, to 1.5 to 2 gms? Thanks for the tip.

I've never tried L-Glutamine, but I'm going, right now, to check their catalog for L-Glutamine, and order some. Have you any idea whether Glutamine is one of those amino acids that is best taken, initially, in low does, say 1/2 gm, and building up, gradually, to 1.5 to 2 gms? As I write, I'm checking out http://www.jomarlabs.com/prices.asp . They list L-Glutamine powder @ 150gms powder for $14.80; 1000gms powder for $79.20; 375, 400mg caps for $19.80 and 2500, 400mg caps for $119.30. Looks like this stuff is cheap! Do you prefer the powder? I thought I'd start with 150gm powder, which at 2gms daily would last 75 days. That would seem long enough to tell me if the stuff is working for me. Though I have angina, which is life threatening, my hiatal hernia causes me more raw pain than any other physical problem I have. I wonder if anyone else on this list, has had a similar experience. I've had pain from my esophagus that was so severe, I got ready to go to the hospital. But hospital workers can't do anything for this problem that you can't do for yourself at home, with powerful antacids, prilosec, etc. I read that consuming a very ripe tomato can sometimes stop the acid pain. I know that if I always ate with greater care and wisdom, I'd have few if any of these painful attacks. But if we had the discipline to always eat wisely, we wouldn't be having most of these discussions in these health-related chat rooms, would we? Once again, thanks for the tip. best wishes John P. - " Pamela Southall " <southallp Sunday, November 11, 2001 9:56 PM Re: Amino Acid > Well, John, research has proved that supplementation > of L-glutamine lessens stomach inflammation caused by > chemotherapy.

No, it's not, John. Daily dosages of 40 grams have been taken for severe wound healing, with no side effects. Good health, Pam Find a job, post your resume. http://careers.

Essential fatty acids in fish oils will lower elevated triglyceride levels. Also, gamma-oryzanol has healing powers against gastric and cardiovascular ailments.
