KDR, First off, I love your avatar! I was a huge IDOJ fan when I was a kid

I did take L-glutamine while on taxol. I used a high dose and took it religiously each day. I had minor, transient neuropathy but it did not last. I'm 7 months out from last taxol and I have no signs of neuropathy. I'm so sorry that you have deal with it.

I used the Pure Encapsulations brand. My "research" showed that some brands don't include much glutamine and it's not regulated. You can buy the Pure brand on Amazon.

Good luck!

Linda
