Glutamine is an amino acid supplement that helps the intestines work more efficiently. There is no evidence that glutamine reduces the symptoms of diverticulitis, although research suggests it may improve intestinal health. Talk to your physician before taking supplemental glutamine. People who have had this supplement approved by their doctor find it most effective to take 400mg of glutamine, four times a day. Glutamine is not recommended for people with diabetes, epilepsy, or liver disease.
