The dosages recommended are up to about 3 grams in divided doses. Given your training status and size though, I'd hazard a guess that 5 grams in divided doses would be fine. I throw mine in my pre-wo drink (along with .5 scoop of protein, 14 grams of gatorade and 2.5 g creatine mono-because I train at dark:30 and need to get something in me) and in my post workout shake with the rest of my protein and creatine. Hey Jon,

Erin, what is do you think is a reasonable amount one should be taking daily for gut health? I got some glutamine powder lying around and 1 teaspoon is around 5 grams. I'm thinking i should add it to my daily intake of supplements. hehe this is funny because when i got glutened last week, one of the ingredients to my “Glutening cocktail” i took was glutamine.

L-glutamine certainly appears to have some positive benefits-of course my first thought is to double check with your supplement manufacturer-my experiences with many companies has taught me that they may be unaware of cross contamination issues. (Although I feel certain you have already done that.) Recently I have found that much better though. Also splitting doses throughout the day may help. Let me know how you make out!

Very impressive. I have taken L-glutamine before, but had some digestive issues with it. I need to try some again. I know my doctor (who treats me for gluten intolerance) does believe it has value. I've read many proponents of it on the celiac listserv (per their own physicians). Shirley Wow, absolutely top-notch article, Erin! Very impressive.
