Since my cancer diagnosis I have started to take a number of supplements to help strengthen my immune system. Each night I take one that causes me problems! It tastes yucky. I have a hard time swallowing. I just don't like it!
Last night after again suffering through this stupid pill I asked "why am I doing this?" I honestly couldn't remember why I was torturing myself with this stupid supplement!
So I did a little bit of research and was reminded that Glutamine is known to protect the intestinal system from the ill-effects of chemo and radiation. It is also helps to support muscle function and contributes to healing after surgery, especially abdominal surgery.
OH ... that's why! I think I will now take that supplement FIRST and look forward to it!
