| Hi Olivia,
Have you been researching glutamine for IBS, or wondered if glutamine is safe in IBS?
Amino acids are the building blocks for protein, and glutamine (also known as L-glutamine) is a non-essential amino acid.
Your body can produce glutamine and absorb it from the food you eat.
So, can glutamine help IBS?
A recent study found those taking glutamine with IBS-D (diarrhea- prominent IBS) had improved stool consistency – meaning fewer diarrhea-like symptoms!
More research is needed to know how long glutamine should be taken and whether it works in other types of IBS. However, glutamine is safe for healthy individuals.
🚨 It is important that you consult a qualified health professional for personalised recommendations when taking supplements.
We have written an in-depth post on glutamine and IBS, including dosage and safety, which you can read here. |
