Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Glutamine is a wonderful tool...

Hi, I'm new here. I am a personal trainer in Canada. I was told I had IBS 2 years ago. I have had a horrible time trying to control this condition and I eat very well on the whole. I recently went back to using glutamine as a supplement in my program and WHAM! my IBS has gotten remarkably better and has been so for over 5 weeks. That is a record by about 3 weeks for me. Because we tend to lose so many nutrients and amino acids with this condition, we lose the ability to rebuild the muscles effectively, including the colon. I can't believe I didn't make the association before! I take a teaspoon twice a day with juice or water on an empty stomach. There is actually quite a bit of info and studies involving Glutamine. I don't know why it isn't more common knowledge. I also supplement with B-Complex with added B-12. I eat bran cereal with Phsyllium in the morning and 1 metamucil at night. I am regular again, I have minimal to no gas and bloating and no cramps at all
