How L-glutamine Repairs Gut Health

How L-glutamine Repairs Gut Health 

I use to think feeling 4 months pregnant after every meal was normal. I mean, don't you feel bloated after most meals???

Then I finally got sick of feeling sick and started digging into the details.  Ah ha!  Belly bloat is NOT normal it is just an effect of being a Modern Day Mom.  You know, triple booked meetings, a jammed packed schedule with family & social activities, and too busy to focus on yourself.

So if bloating is not normal than what's the deal.  Bloating can be a symptom of gut dysbiosis - when your good and bad bacteria become unbalanced. Bloating is also a symptom of leaky gut.

I discovered L-glutamine while repairing my own gut and recommend it in my Restore Your Gut Health program. L-Glutamine helped me to heal my leaky gut, strengthen my digestive system and recover faster because this mama needs to be fast on her feet to keep up with her family and career!  

What is Glutamine?

Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid. It’s available in abundance from the foods we eat, but most people still don’t get enough to really stimulate deep repair. The more energy you put out, the more damage your digestive receives and the more processed foods you consume, the more likely you’re deficient in glutamine. 

My journey with this supplement has been surprising. I never really expected it to work, but it did. The science behind why glutamine works to help repair the digestive tract is very interesting. 

How Glutamine Repaired my Gut

Glutamine works in the gut by protecting against mucosal breakdown, the first line of defense against external pathogens in the gut lining. Imagine your internal environment. The stomach contains acid which is so strong it could burn through carpet. Next is line is the small intestines which is a more alkaline, lubricated environment. When your internal system gets unbalanced, the mucosal lining can start to lose its tenure. Glutamine helps it stay strong and protect the barrier against the potential for breakdown. 

L-glutamine also helped me reduce my sugar and simple carb cravings because it is a a quick energy boost for the brain. It signals the body that the need has been met and the craving dissipates. The body will seek an energy source multiple times during the day to keep up with the Modern Mom Schedule. 

L-glutamine has several other functions including the support of immunity, insulin secretions, neurological and activity, and muscle protein synthesis.  

This supplement is easy to throw in a smoothie or sprinkled over any meal. Paired with a change in diet, probiotics and plenty of stress reduction, L-glutamine helped me repair my gut and experience genuine, lasting health.
