Thanks Joy for your encouraging information on L-glutamine & the fact that your onc was approving on your use of this supplement.
How big a dose were you taking?
My only past reservation about L-glutamine resulted from some contradictory research papers a few of which are stating that it inhibits & others that it enhance the body production of gluthiatone. Since gluthiatone is said to be an antioxidant which might protect cancer cell from some oxidative chemos I was not sure what to do.
