Is L-glutamine generally safe for human use?
How does the treatment L-glutamine differ from other treatments for this condition?
L-glutamine is unique because it is a conditionally essential amino acid that supports gut health and immune function, especially during stress or illness. Unlike other treatments, it can be taken orally, enterally, or parenterally, and it helps maintain intestinal integrity and prevent infections, which is particularly beneficial for patients undergoing trauma or surgery.1112131415
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing L-glutamine, a supplement that helps keep the gut healthy, on patients with diverticulosis. Diverticulosis causes small pouches in the colon that can be uncomfortable. The study aims to see if L-glutamine can reduce symptoms by supporting the gut lining and reducing inflammation. L-glutamine has been shown to reduce inflammation and support gut health in various gastrointestinal conditions.
