Can anyone tell me if the pill form of L Glutamine is okay as I cannot drink the powder. Also how many mg and how many times per day? I have numbness in my toes and am afraid it will spread and become permanent.

TIA

    hi anew, I was taking the solgar brand. It's vegan. I have 500mg which says to take 3x per day. I came off of it bec it's an antioxidant and contraindicated with treatment. My cardiologist put me on magnesium bec my levels were low. It's helped with my neuropathy a lot! Also sugar is very inflammatory and increases neuropathy. I was also doing acupuncture for it and other issues but stopped once I started rads. Too many treatment appointments. If I have 2 it's a slow day. Next Wednesday I have 5!

    Hope that helps!

    does your center have an onc-nutritionist? Ask him/her. Mines told me about it but wasn't until rads same person told me no anti-oxs during treatment. So who knows smh. Thanks! I'm praying to get thru these last rounds of rads. 1 whole breast and 5 boosts left. Although still having those mouse infusions (Herceptin) I'm excited to be done with chemo and rads so I can start rebuilding. I've been over ambitious and realizing I need to give myself at least a year AFTER treatment ends.
