TinkerTurnip Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Really new on here and started my whole 30 on Monday. Have had IBS c for all my life. Have been reading a lot tonight about how l glutamine can help heal the mucosa of the gut and therefore help repair a leaky gut. Can anyone recommend a compliant non-gmo one please?/ And anyone used this with success?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 10, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 10, 2015 We recommend you complete your Whole30 without adding supplements. You can find lots of endorsements of various tricks to heal/resolve/fix what is wrong with you. We recommend one - eating nutrient dense whole foods.

Jac Rock Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Great Lakes Gelatine if you don't want to wait till you finish the whole 30. But you should definitely be making your own bone broth which contains all the healing goodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkerTurnip Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Thank you Jac and Tom. I've not bought one so far after toms reply. I totally understand the need to heal through food and that's sensible advice. I just thought that while my body is experiencing such clean eating and not battling anything it might be a good time to help the healing along its way, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snatches paleo Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 So, L-Glutamine is amazing, and I continue to use it on my Whole30. NOW Foods brand amzn.com/B000QVCAKQ is compliant. I take it at night for recovery, but I've also used the powder form in the past by mixing it into bone broth for gut lining support, and it's also effective in decreasing sugar cravings in about 15 minutes. It usually only contains 100% L-Glutamine powder, so most brands should be okay. THAT BEING SAID, while it's compliant with the Whole30, the point is to see how much different you feel by just changing your food. I commute by bike 55 miles/week, so continuing to supplement with BCAAs and Glutamine while I Whole30 (on my 4th one!) makes sense to me because I want to prevent muscle breakdown. If you can, I'd do the whole 30 days without changing your supplements, but definitely try it afterward. Your call though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkerTurnip Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Great advice there thank you. I totally see now why it's best to use the whole 30 to see how food changes affect your body so I'm going to wait until I've completed my first 30 to take glutamine. Loving the way I feel so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 It's also naturally occurring in meat, eggs and a few veggies For the gut, the things that worked for me were bone broth, gelatin and Kombucha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
