This quote turned up in a search today:Glutamine
Possible Harmful Interaction
The amino acid glutamine is converted to glutamate in the body. Glutamate is thought to act as a neurotransmitter (chemical that enables nerve transmission). Because anticonvulsants work (at least in part) by blocking glutamate pathways in the brain, high dosages of the amino acid glutamine might theoretically diminish an anticonvulsant's effect and increase the risk of seizures.[end quote]

If blocking glutamate improves seizure control, why not more emphasis on getting the glutamate out, gluten free diet, GARD diet, MSG, for starters. Duh, why wasn't this obvious to me ten years ago?
