If glycine and glutamate are low its almost always due to bad diet. These aminos are in all protein foods. Strict vegetarians, or those on severely limited diets due to MCS, may have problems there. There may also be disorders in which the availability may be modified, but I know little about those. One other issue that can arise is glycine and glutamate may be converted to other forms, the body does this all the time.
PS glycine to serine, glutamate to glutamine
