itching after every meal? ugh.. this is really damn annoying..

[cobain67]

For the last 3 weeks or so, after every meal I start to itch all over for about 30 minutes or so, then I'm fine.. Any ideas on what this is from, and could any supplements cause this?

could any supplements cause this?

Yes.

What supplements are you taking: ?

Very interesting - I have had the same experience off and on over the past few years (since I started working out and taking supplements). Mine is very rare though ... maybe once every few weeks at the most. I can feel my face get "flush" and red, and I get a slight itchy feeling in my upper arms, neck, face, etc.

At first I thought it had to be something related to blood sugar but my blood sugar is always fine regardless of when I measure it. I would *love* to find out what is causing this.

I take a daily multi, about 10-15g of Glutamine per day, and about 1g of protein per lb of body weight per day. I've been taking creatine too, but I stopped about a week ago, and not sure if I'll take it any more as it doesn't seem to do anything for me.

I take about 10-15g of Glutamine per day

Free Form (l-glutamine powder) ? ? If so.. read this:

Yes.

What supplements are you taking: ?

Well, I take the following:

Taurine
R-ALA
Kidney Blend
pro-liver
whey
casein
XTend
Multi-Vitamin (MRM-Beyond Basics)
CoQ10

Pre-Workout:
Jet Fuel
ALCAR/Tyrosine

Jet Fuel
Tyrosine

Just off the top of my head... the jet fuel / tyrosine combo *MAY* be the problem (if indeed it's supplement related... which wouldn't be surprising).

I read through the thread, but not exactly sure what you're referring to. The thread seems to be a debate as to whether it's beneficial to take glutamine or not. Are you simply suggesting that I don't take it, or are you implying there is a connection between glutamine and the topic of this thread? Thanks.
