Question 1

can i take omeprazole 20mg while on the be well cleanse which includes supplements l_glutamine 1700mg and digestive enzymes.

Accepted Answer

Fake products: Please stop the cleanse. It is a completely unnecessary and ineffective product. I would bet you no physician recommended it. Your body has several mechanisms in place to keep you cleansed. These would be your lymph system, kidneys and liver. You stay healthy by keeping well hydrated, not eating to excess and getting good restorative sleep.

Question 2

can autoantibodies against glutamine synthetase and/or glutamate dehydrogenase cause glutamate metabolism disorders?

Accepted Answer

Still searching: Glutamine synthase is part of the glutamine synthetase family. Ammonia incorporation in animals occurs through the actions of glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthase. Glutamate plays the central role in mammalian nitrogen flow, serving as both a nitrogen donor and nitrogen acceptor. I am unble to find references in my search so far as to autoantibodies to these but see comment.

Question 3

glutamine excitatory or inhbitory?

Accepted Answer

Both, indirectly: Glutamine is a major precursor of glutamate, the most potent excitatory neurotransmitter, & of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), the most potent inhibitory neurotransmitter in mammalian brains.

Question 4

is glutamine a basic amino acid?

Accepted Answer

Glutamine amino acid: Glutamine is an Amino Acid (basic building block of proteins). People take it for various reasons as a dietary supplement. It purportedly helps maintain muscle mass in athletes or patients following surgery or major illness. Patients on chemo may take it to prevent or lessen side-effects. Caution should be taken for those with kidney or liver failure, mental illness or epilepsy or allergy to msg.

Question 5

what would cause an intolerance to glutamic acid? gad autoantibodies?  gad deficiency?  glutamate receptor autoantibodies(anti-nmda, anti-ampa)?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes: Anti- gad antibodies are made by your body against your Insulin producing cells. This can result in diabetes type 1 which would require insulin. No ones knows exactly why this happens. Get checked by your doctor. Good health to you.

Question 6

any interactions?:ashwagandha, magnesium l threonate,taurate,glycinate, fish oil, cdp choline,acetyl l carnitine,alpha lipoic acid, vitamin d,prilosec

Accepted Answer

None known but...: Most of the things you are taking are nutrients naturally present in a healthy diet. However, I advise against taking Prilosec regularly on a long-term basis due to common adverse effects. See http://www.naturalnews.com/036336_PPIs_acid_reflux_side_effects.html

Question 7

does glutamine  boost immune function?

Accepted Answer

Glutamine in HIV: Some studies support the use of glutamine to prevent loss of or maintain body mass in patients with hiv/aids, as well as promote healing and recovery following surgery or critical illness. Other studies have not shown any benefit. It should not be taken in patients with mental disorders, epilepsy, liver or kidney failure or an allergy to monosodium glutamate (msg). Always verify with your dr.

Question 8

could asupplement with aminoacids, vitamins(l-carnitine, l-tartaric acid, potassium chloride, l-leucine, isoleucine, valine, nicotinic)cause damage on brain?

Accepted Answer

NO: All of those ingredients are safe, in many foods you eat every day and already in your body. None are known to cause brain damage.

Question 9

is it safe to take an amino acid supplement containing leucine, glutamine, isoleucine, and valine with 40mg of prozac (fluoxetine) daily?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Those amino acids are commonly found in greater quantities than in your supplement in high protein foods such as beef, chicken or fish. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 10

including essential amino acids supplement (bcaa) would affect gout? 
is whey protein supplements & glutamine supplement  safe for gout users?

Accepted Answer

None will effect gou: Gout is related to URIC ACID and PURINES, not amino acids or protein supplements. BUT, since everything you mention is a complete waste of money, why bother to ask? There are meds used to control gout in different ways. Low dose aspirin and thiazide diuretics tend to raise uric acid levels. Alcohol, especially in large amounts, often causes attacks. Low purine diets are slightly effective.
