l-glutamine

Hi. So I went to the chiropractor/ holistic health Dr. and nutritionist/ "hippie dr" today for my once-a-month back adjustment as it seems to help with migranes. told him I was recently diag with uc. he gave me l-glutamine supplement to try for one week to see if it will help me, in additon to my med (asacol). anyone with experience on this??

Diagnosed with UC June 2008. On Asacol...many questions still unanswered

L-glutamine is also thought to be involved in repair of the intestinal mucosa. I take it when I think I may be getting sick along with a few other things. Of course it's hard to know what exactly is helping but I believe it has a positive effect on me.
