Hi
Below is the summary of L-Glutamine from listmates posts. Thanks-

-helps digest fats and carbs, also good for diabetics.

-wheat contains high levels thus many supplements are made from wheat.

-involved in building of tissue, supports wound healing and healing of the
intestines in leaky gut, reduces inflammation.

-Cabbage is high in l-glutamine.

-the Wild Oats food allergy brochure suggests 500mg l-glutamine capsule
three times a day between meals to help the gut heal, reduce inflammation.
The Jan 8, 200 Science News has an article "Glutamate glut linked to
multiple sclerosis".  According to A Consumers Dictionary of Food
Additives by Ruth Winter, glutamine and glutamate are a nonessential amino
acid...the latter is listed as derived from glutamic acid, and the former
is listed as mildly toxic by ingestion.

-L-Glutamine is one of the most abundant amino acids in our bodies.
A prime function of l-glutamine is it's ability to remove ammonia
from the blood (ammonia is a by-product of metabolism), which is
poisonous to our brains.  It is also indicated as being beneficial
to the intestinal tract.

Nutritionists use l-glutamine for treating auto-immune disease (ie,
celiac disease or arthritis), intestinal and digestive (ie, celiac
disease or peptic ulcers), depression and memory problems.

Glutamine is readily available in many meats and vegetables. The only
problem is that it's easily destroyed by cooking.  Raw spinach is a good
source.

-I don't mean to sound preachy but it seems the safest way to get most
nutrients is through foods. Thanks to everyone. Lowie
