    Has anyone had any experience with this? How did it help?

    L-Glutamine

    Hey Nelz,

    I was hoping another would respond to this. I'm not a L glut taker. I've tried numerous times, and it doesn't seem to work for me. That's not to say, it doesn't work for many, if not most alcoholics. It helps to control blood sugar. That seems to be a problem for many. It also helps to heal the intestines.

    There is a great place to bring this question. The holistic health section. I'm sure you will have numerous responses there. Not to say, we don't want to see it here. We love to have new posters in the meds section, but the holistic health will serve you better. I mean for this specific question.

      L-Glutamine

      Hi Nelz. I know RedThread (I hope that's right) has a lot of great info about L-Glut and Red is right - lots in the Holistic section. You might want to do a search.

      I took L-Glut early in my sobriety along with all the other MWO supplements. Recently, I let sugar back into my life (HUGE mistake) and started to take L-Glut again to combat that. A couple things I'm finding for myeself anyway:

      * Powder form seems to be more effective for me than capsules.
      * I need to take a LOT of it. (grams - not milligrams)

      I just switched brands and went to powder recently. It seems to be helping but I will be able to report more with a bit more time.

      There are plenty of other people who can give way more info than me!! Determinator is another one who swears by L-Glut if you want to hunt him down.

          L-Glut made me crave sugary things even more than before. It can have some odd, unwanted effects on people. Hey Red, didn't it used to make you fart like a docker? :H

            Several years ago I tried using L-Glut but it is not for people who take anti-depressants, which I do. It made me very, very sleepy and uncomfortable. That's my take on L-Glut. And I agree with DG....Determinator is the one to talk to about L-Glut because he knows quite a lot about it.

              Ditto for me. There's nothing that works for everyone, though L-Glut does seem to help a lot of people with cravings. Worth a shot. If you find yourself suddenly cramming cupcakes into your face, then it might not be for you.

                The one thing I have found........is that about the same time I started taking it, I had horrible...errrr uhhhhhmmmm, "runs" to the bathroom if you know what I mean.


                Gonna lay off it for a while, see if that was the culprit

                      I had some weird experiences with L-Glut, but I can't really say it was L-Glut related. I felt dizzy, light headed, nauseous, and had some pretty strange mental impairment, but it seems more likely to be related to diet, drinking, and baclofen. I've been off the sauce for a few days, so I'll probably hit up the L-Glut again and see if my problems recur.
