A member asked:
Ever since supplementing extra glutamine in my diet my bowel problems have stopped. how does extra or optimal levels of glutamine benefit the colon?

Feed cells lining it: Glutamine is a crucial nutrient for the cells that line our GI tract. It is proven to be very beneficial for many GI problems. While safe & affordable, unfortunately most doctors know nothing at all about this wonderful treatment. This is because it is natural & affordable, rather than being a drug that can be patented.
