My question turns on glutamine. I noticed you discuss it on your
website some. Could it also help my digestive pains? I
understand it is a precursor to GABA but I don't know the role of GABA in the
digestive system. Could you explain it to me? Would glutamine be a
good digestive aid for me?
Thank you for helping.

Yes, glutamine helps digestion. Your gut needs a lot of serotonin and GABA to
stay calm and reduce digestive panic responses
Glutamine will become glutamate and then GABA.
If glutamate won't become GABA, you will have glutamate over-excitation.
Glutamine can be take as a suppository to increase its effects on absorption
of the amino acids in the lower stomach. Glutamine, as nutraceutical,
can help improve healing of serious illnesses, injury, trauma, burns, and so
on. Some body builders or athletes use it for muscle growth.
Glutamine can enhance brain function as it turns to the neurotransmitters
glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric
acid (GABA). It may help people improve memory(glutamate's effect), mind
concentration and focusing and calmness (GABA's effect) , and reduce mood swing,
panic response and depression (GABA's effect).
