Re: question about glutamine powder

Hi Lauriesh, I have had two taxotere infusions and have nerve problems now with my feet. The nutritionist recommended 30 grams of glutamine starting the day of chemo and continuing for 4 more days. This was approved by the chemotherapy nurse as well.

Re: question about glutamine powder

While on taxol, I too took glutamine powder. I was told to take in starting 3 days before infusion, the day of infusion and the day after. It was 30 grams (10 grams three times a day).
