Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Thank you for this reply! So, if I understand you correctly, L-glutamine would not aggravate RLS.

I sure wish I had a science background. Increasingly, I read that many people (and I would be among them) have their RLS symptoms triggered by high glutamate foods (think Monosodium glutamate -MSG -in its many forms). A few days, the RLS Foundation had a webinar by a gastroenterologist about the pos...

I am so glad I decided to post on this site - getting lots of clarity. Or at least possible explanations to what have thus far been Unexplained Mysteries of the RLS World. My usual medical facility doesn't offer Injectafer infusions so I am going to a different facility for them where I really have ...

Wanting to use the lowest dose ...

Thank you both. I have no science background but am trying to understand it as best i can. It also makes no sense that food would trigger a brain iron deficiency issue but for many of us it clearly does. Really baffling.
