Re: L-Glutamine experiences

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to add that those who take seizure meds should take

precaution and check with the doctor. Some seizure meds (like

valproic acid)inhibit seizure activity by blocking glutamines.

Obviously, you would not want to be taking glutamine and then a

glutamine blocking med.

My son started taking L-Glutamine about 3 months ago. So far,our

experience has been positive. I have seen improvements in behavior,

comprehension, and speech. What has not improved is his

hypoglycemia and extreme reactions to offending foods. I'm not sure

about the correct dosage. I've been giving him 1000mg/day. Any help

with dosage would be appreciated. Also, I just heard about a test

called K.U.B. which I gather is some sort of gut x-ray. Does anyone

know anything about this?

It was recommended by our Dan doctor for to take 1300 mg of

Glutamine daily. The decision on how much to give was based on lab

results from Metametrix Lab. Metametrix does and entire amino acid

analysis (in addition to other analysis) and recommends a custom

formulation. I would have labs run to determine the ideal amount b/c

each patient is so unique.

We did have the abdominal x-ray done as well. (by Dan Dr. Krigsman on

Long Island, NY..he's the best!)This information can be very useful,

as it informed us that our son was very backed up. (I forget the

correct terminology for this at the moment. I think it was " high

sedementation " ) Hope this helps a little,

please research L-Glutamine; it should not be used if there are liver/kidney

problems ( which most ASD kids have) and it will cause further damage if you

have elevated ammonia in the blood ( which most ASD kids have)

i would stay away

you will find that asd's have the following commonalities: heavy metal

toxicity, bacterial/viral infections, inflammation, AND glutamate receptor

issues
