L-Glutamine

August 1, 2011 by KerryAnn 4 Comments

L-Glutamine shows great promise in scientific research for healing your gut. It was one leg of my ‘trinity,’ along with digestive enzymes and pascalite clay that formed the basis of the supplements I used to heal my gut.  The other critical factor was massive doses of probiotics via food.

Glutamine is an amino acid that includes synthesizing protein and providing energy among its duties in the body. Multiple studies have shown it speeds healing and reduces healing time after intestinal surgery (another study). It specifically targets healing intestinal permeability and healing/preventing infection. It is being studied for its ability to help cancer patients heal from both the cancer itself and the side effects of conventional cancer treatment.  It also benefits the kidneys, but should be avoided if you have Reyes Syndrome, kidney problems or cirrhosis of the liver.  Some medical professionals recommend not supplementing with glutamine if you have any liver problems.

Should Celiacs Eat Corn?

April 12, 2011 by KerryAnn 12 Comments

I saw an interesting article from The Gluten Free Society named Celiac Patients React to Gluten-Free Bread.  The article claims that corn contains gluten and is just as damaging as the gluten from wheat, rye and barley and they point to some studies to back up their stance.  The studies appear to have some holes in them just from my cursory readings.

After reading it, my first thought was how much of that corn was GMO?  Organic?  Surely the body could have an immune reaction to a GMO grain and not react to the same grain in non-GMO form? [Read more…] about Should Celiacs Eat Corn?

You Are NOT What You Eat: Chicken Stock

June 15, 2011 by KerryAnn 12 Comments

One of the refrains heard repeated often in the world of traditional foods is ‘you are what you eat.’

Unfortunately, this is wrong.

You are not what you eat.  You are what you ABSORB.  You can pour all of the highest quality food into your body and if you can’t absorb it, it is being wasted.  Depending on what your body isn’t absorbing, you can suffer a whole host of bad effects.  I lost 2.5 inches off of my height when I was ill thanks to the inability to absorb multiple nutrients, including calcium and D3.

Gut health is critical.  If you can’t absorb the nutrients you’re eating, you’re going to suffer. [Read more…] about You Are NOT What You Eat: Chicken Stock
