Is It Safe To Take ARO Glutamine Raw For Salmonella Blood Infection?
Hi. I just had my second cardio ablation for fib, which I believe this one has been successful so far, 10 days out. In January, I had salmonella blood infection, was hospitalized, and meds controlled it, then a case of MRSA followed, which meds controlled immediately. I take daily: 1 each Xarelto 20 mg at night, 1 each Lexipro 10 mg for sadness in the morning , and 1 each Wellbutrin HCL 150 mg XL at night. Can I safely take ARO Glutamine Raw, 750 mg of l-glutamine to help my stomach heal from the salmonella damage, plus help me loose a little weight for good health, and recover my energy levels from the atrial fibrillation? My stomach is still messed up, cramping and diarrhea at times.... I have trouble eating veggies, spices and grease I avoid. The side effect list for glutamine is heart related. Please help if you can! Thank you. Sincerely, Kathy Metzger

Hi,
There is no indication of using glutamine in your case, it's used in other diseases like short bowel, sickle cell disease plus it have side effects, for salmonella antibiotics, Bacid (lactobacillus sachet) do stool examination, antibiotic susceptibility test can be demanded and it will tell which is effective as resistance strains are there.
Take ORS at least 140ml per stool , drink coconut water, symptomatic antacid and Buscopan can be taken (prescription from a doctor) avoid spices, smoke alcohol, or junk foods and eat healthy fruits juices steamed vegetables amla, aloe vera, basil etc., and multivitamins for a week like Natalins Rx.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
