Hi doctor,
My wife has been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for more than 10 years. For the last two years, she has been taking infusions of Rituximab or Rituxan 2 g. Last infusion was six months ago. It is also confirmed that she has Leaky gut syndrome. Is it safe to take L-Glutamine (supplement for Leaky gut) for patient infused with Rituxan? Please explain.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Leaky gut syndrome (leakage of undigested food or other substance due to damaged intestinal wall) is more of a hypothetical thing. A lot of researches are still going on and it is believed to trigger the autoimmune reactions in the body.
- But, yes, it is safe to take the L-Glutamine with Rituximab. No contraindications to it as such.
- Make sure she avoids outside food as you do not want to catch an infection, which can trigger the rheumatoid arthritis.
