    L-Glutamine

    I thought I should share my very limited experience of using L Glutamine.
    I came across My Way Out in December. My aim was to be able to drink when I wanted but not crave alcohol on the days when I chose to not drink.
    I had a gastric bypass two years ago. Due to this, I don't drink (or need to drink) a lot before becoming drunk. A four pack of lager or equivalent is about my limit. However, despite a limited amount of units, I would still have horrible hangovers etc.
    I tried L-Glutmaine and in the first week , I went from Monday to Friday with virtually no cravings (something that had haunted me for a long time).
    I carried on drinking at weekends and taking the L-Glutamine but found that the cravings came back.
    I made up my mind to quit for good and did so on Christmas Day. I'm now at that stage where I am trying to convince myself that I can drink at weekends (or should I say the devil on one shoulder is- the angel on the other side is saying - no - you've been there so many times, you're over a week clear now - keep going).

    Maybe it's due to my bypass, but the L Glutmamine seems to affect me quite quickly - difficult to describe - I feel a bit head achey, a little wired, sometime a bit slurry and struggle to find everyday words?.
    I've tried cutting my dosage right down to limit the impact as it's not a good feeling. I think I'm going to try having a much lower dosage more regularly?.
    Does anyone have any similar experiences of L Glutmamine?

    Sorry if this is a rambling post :new:

    L-Glutamine

    Hi and welcome!! Don't worry about rambling - that's what we do!! About the L-Glut, I have tried to use it as an anti-craving med but it was not strong enough - and it made me feel sick. And I drank even though I did not feel all that well.

    Others will chime in. JMum

        Thanks for replies...
        The first time I tried L glut, I thought it was the the answer I had been looking for...unfortunately. it didn't last long.
        I'm now trying a different method, I've mixed a scoop with about half a litre of water and am sipping it to take a slow steady dose. I'll see how that goes.

            Hi Mama
            How long since your bypass? Did you have issues with drink previously ( I did but not as serious). I stopped smoking 13 yrs ago and replaced cigs with alcohol I think....
