L-Glutamine supplements
Hi Sue,
Just curious. Did you consult your oncologist before starting the L-Glutamine supplements? What did he/she have to say? Thanks.0 -

Hi. I did check with him .. he said that it sounded like a large dose, but that it would be harmless to me ( and would not interfere with the chemo ). He also pointed out that there are no definitive studies that show it's effective. I had heard so many bad stories that I decided to give it a try and stick with it. So far so good :-)0 -

L-Glutamine when he replaced taxotere with taxol in my last 2 chemo treatments. In fact, there was a pre-printed sheet of information on how much/when to take it. I bought the powdered form at Whole Foods and took 30mg--1 in the morning, next at about 2pm and the last before bed.
I still had bone pain (I also had a neulasta shot after each treatment), but it wasn't as bad as I had come to expect, so I guess it helped.0
