Secret DD weapon: L-Glutamine? - Page 2

It's Pure protein brand whey protein.

It looks like the protein is all whey, but it does have soy lecithin down in the ingredient list as an emulsifier.

Thanks! I may check it out even with the lecithin. Seems like I can't stay away from ALL soy no matter how hard I try!

Lots of good info here!

I've taken it for years to "heal my gut," but have been sporadic about it. I have read about the many wonders of it and just bought the little tub so I can put some in my smoothies, drinks, coffee, tea, etc. I need to get better about using it everyday, but I notice that it does help slightly with sugar cravings. I only do one scoop (5g) though and it lasts throughout the day. Sometimes, I'll take a supplement. I like ALA and L-Carnitine too.

Thanx!!

I use Swanson brand "Grass-Fed, Certified rBGH-Free Vanilla Whey Protein Powder." It has sunflower lechitin in it. No glutamic acid, but you can buy the glutamine powder from them too, "Swanson Ultra
AjiPure L-Glutamine Powder." They have chocolate whey too, but I've never used it, so I can't vouch for the flavor, but the vanilla is good and it mixes well. They have coupons a lot of the time (for free shipping or 10% off) so google promo codes.

I have been trying to go hormone free as well and didn't even thing about my whey protein. Swanson to the rescue!

I buy most of my supplements from Swanson. I trust their quality and their prices are great.

I'm going to get the glutamine powder next time I order. Pretty soon I'll be taking more supplements than eating food...

I want to start doing the shakes again on DD's...well, I never did them on DD's, but I used to enjoy shakes every morning, and it did have L-Glut in it. I have a tub of L-Glut going to waste in my pantry, lol. A friend of mine takes L-Glut regularly for other reasons, but says she has to make herself eat because it has suppressed her appetite so completely!

Librarygirl · 01-22-2013, 05:36 PM

Ok since PJ mentioned in another thread, appetite suppressants, I'm going to try it again. The shakes I bought are supposed to have L-Glut in them, but they do not work to curb hunger. I have the L-Glut powder, as I mentioned above, so I will start taking it regularly and see how it works.

For those of you using L-Glutamine for healing your gut, do you think it works? I have chronic gastritis and would love it if I could actually heal it.

Glutamine is working really great for me in overcoming BED. I have a warm cup of stevia lemonade with a heaping teaspoon of LG when I feel the struggle / urge come on a mile away and it's been smooth sailing. Huge difference for me.

This is truly a wonder supplement. I forget about it, but thanks for reporting.

I try to take only the supps that are needed due to it can become excessive, but this is one that I will try to include regularly.
