Review on Now Foods L-Glutamine 1000mg, 120 Capsules by Razz Hieb

Forgive me in advance as this is going to be a very long review. I actually bought this product over 2 years ago, but I bought it for a different reason than I use it now. You see, I originally bought this because I have Crohn's disease. I've read that it helps to "coat" the colon to protect it from further damage (like polyps, ulcers, stomach pain, etc.). I used it diligently for a couple of weeks and then, to be honest, started taking it a little less. . It's quite a big pill and with my illness I take a lot of pills and I'm just tired of taking pills from the buffet! I figured I'd take it (after a break from all the pills) and packed it up with other meds I "don't need" anymore and stuffed them in the bathroom cabinet. Since then I have developed acid reflux. My GI prescribed me omeprazole (which I've been taking for 1 1/2 years now). Now that I think about it, shortly after I stopped taking L-Glut, I started having heartburn problems. Anyway I've spent the last 72 hours researching natural remedies I could use instead of omeprazole because I've read about its dangers and to be honest it never worked. It didn't matter if I took 40mg or 20mg of the stuff. In fact, 72 hours ago, after 2 attacks of reflux (vomiting, vomiting, etc.), I took another 20 mg of omeprazole. Guess what? After a while I got sick again! So I went hunting. I've read all about liquorice, L-Glut, marshmallow, Massit gum (or whatever) and a few other things, but I knew that I had taken L-Glut very well in the past, so I took it . from my "cave" and I took one before I ate. I didn't feel like eating so I also took omeprozole 20mg (I haven't stopped it yet) just to be safe. Something waited. Then I ate. Trust me when I tell you all that tonight I had the biggest meal I have had in almost the last 2 years (holidays included). someone suggested), and a few hours later. I feel no effect of food or medication! I feel good! To be clear I ONLY used L-Glut again last night but I will try again tonight and every night for some time before I pluck up the courage to take omeprazole forever. I'll definitely be back (is that a word?) when I get to this point, but I'm sure I'll be ordering more of these in advance. I just feel like it is very important to others which is why I posted the review now. I gave 5 stars because I feel great! This is the first time I've felt normal in a very, very long time. If I check back in a few weeks I'll rate it accordingly. If this continues to work for me with reflux then I will be more motivated to continue as more benefits will come over time. We will see. I will keep in touch. God bless. Jen
