In a double-blinded clinical study of 57 patients, 24 using 1.6 grams of glutamine per day, with the rest using conventional therapy, glutamine proved to be the more effective treatment. Half of the glutamine patients showed complete healing within 2 weeks, and 22 of the 24 showed complete relief and healing within 4 weeks. These results are postulated by the authors to be due to the role of glutamine in the manufacture of compounds which line and protect the stomach and small intestine.
