L-Glut question

[freeintexas]

I read in a post from Captnjack somewhere that it is better to put L-Glut under your tongue rather than swallow it for cravings. Can someone tell me what difference it makes and how does it help? I appreciate the help. Thanks.

I think it works differently for different people. The L-glut doesn't seem to have much of an effect (that I notice at least as an immediatly at least when I have tried it under my tongue) but many here swear by it.

If you don't get much response here today (forum seems a bit slow right now) go to the Holistic Healing section of the forum. There are lots of threads and posts there about it.

Periwinkle is right, many swear by it, personally, I can't do it, it gives me terrible cankers in my throat. I take it in pill form and it works great....for sweets as well

When I actually use it, I like to put it in a chocolate protein shake.

I never could tell any particular effect from it... but I took it religiously the first 2 months AF, so maybe it was helping... hard to tell, I was taking so much different stuff! Never did the "under the tongue" thing. Once one of the capsules got stuck in my esophagus and I was driving, didn't have anything to drink to wash it down further, and eventually I burped and it exploded back into my mouth. Not fun. Not fun at all.

Sorry WIP, but so am I ....... but that's because I've done it myself!!!

Re the under-the-tongue thing, it depends on what form the L-Glut is ....... that will only work if it is in a dissolvable form. If it has a plastic coating on the outside, it needs to be swallowed.

WIP, that sounded horrid.

TBH I took the capsules when i first started and now I have a bottle of the powder but I don't use it often... only when I really need it.

L-Glut question

Yes! It was horrible AND very funny! I was laughing as it happened... and swore NEVER to take those capsules without making sure I had PLENTY of liquids with me to wash 'em down.

I take the L-Glut caps twice a day 1000mg each capsule. If I have an intense craving, I pour half of a capsule under my tongue. Seems to work. I am trying to find the L-Glut in bulk powder form, but have had no luck so far. It is completely non-toxic, so u can use lots.

L-Glut question

WIP, that is awful! I swear by it under the tongue and use it for cravings. It helps me a lot. I only use it when I really need it. I put 1000 mg under my tongue out of the capsules. It doesn't taste bad, a bit dry so I drink water after.

MetRx makes a great one, I use it for cravings and after working out...its a powder form, high mg's too...use it an hour 'fore the witching hour, and every 30 mins. til they are better....it helps eliminate excess sugar from your system too, so, it helps with the hypoglycemia that triggers the need, totally physcially, for that reg. time of day the body is looking for that "sugar" fix, alcohol turns to sugar in the bloodstream, you can form a total systemwide overflux of sugar, in the form of candida, yeast.....so it may help with cravings AND over use, it helps balance the sugar problem, and that in itself, will help with cravings..... Lostintexas, where are you lost.....lol....I may be just right around the corner! Hope that helped.

Thnx for the response all! Hey toughintexas--I am in Pearland--just a few miles south of Houston. Where are you? No matter where I am I stay lost!!

I'm in Palestine, just about 2.5 hrs. north of Houston!..... Just keep hanging on, and reading, and you'll be ok, its just a long process, and this is the place to find navigation thru the storm! I always say..."well, wherever you go, there you are!".....lol.... Just try to change your "habits", esp. at the times you usually start craving, and drinking, that's key!
