Has anyone taken Glutathione?

If so, has it caused diarrhea?

I'm not sure if this helps but during my research I found this out about glutathione:

eatbeautiful.net/glutamine-...

Glutamine enhances glutathione production

Paul Jaminet Ph.D., author of Perfect Health Diet, adds an insight regarding glutathione, of which glutamine is also a precursor:

Glutamine, a supplement frequently recommended for gut ailments, can also enhance glutathione production. However, I would generally avoid this, because it can promote proliferation of pathogenic bacteria.

In addition to promoting pathogen overgrowth, several studies are emerging with additional concerns or supporting cautionary data:

One study on oral hygiene and disease (1) shows that glutathione produces bacterial growth, proving it can become food for invasive pathogens.

Another study (2) shows the virulence of cancer cells when exposed to glutamine in vitro. In vivo studies are still considered conflicting and inconclusive. While some newer studies show glutamine as helpful in the cancer treatment process, not all hosts respond well to it. (3)

A third study (4) shows increased mortality among critically ill patients given glutamine vs. those who were not.

Glutathione has also been linked to the thinning of gut lining when used long term.

Not sure if the promotion of pathogens is why you are experiencing diarrhoea.
