Glutamic acidemia one of a group of extremely rare "inborn errors of
metabolism" in which the body is lacking some of the enzymes to digest
certain amino acids, in this case glutamic acid. A more common example of
this type of disease is phenylketonuria (PKU). I would think partial
breastfeeding would be okay, though.
