Thank Zizzle for that article,
but yes, it was a fantastic explanation of some of the why's, incorporating more than just MTHFR issues
and offered affordable approaches via supps etc.

I am a bit up and down! Last Monday was truly painful - when pain brings tears and vomiting you know it is bad! But fortunately I am a robust individual and bounce back quickly at the moment courtesy of the NHS and chicken and rice!!! I have decided upon a course of elimination so I will be on chicken, rice and apple for a while before introducing food one by one! Hey ho!ldubois7 wrote:Anne,
It has been an interesting two years!
I am eating turkey & lamb. I have squash, carrots, & I just added endive. I can eat coconut & sunflower seed butter....it's boring but I'm healing slowly.... and I eat very small portions.
Since Gabes enlightened me to Vit. C & magnesium recently, I believe those are helping!
How are you?
If you ever feel too insignificant to be noticed, you have never been to bed with a mosquito!
Jean,
I get about 6 turkey, a year, from a local farmer when he butchers in the fall, so I was going to ask him to save me the feet, because he has saved hearts & livers for me before.
Maybe one turkey foot per pot? I'll ask him if I can have some, and let you know how it goes.
Anne,
When things start going downhill it's always good to back up....I find lamb very tolerable, and turkey. The less food items I eat the better I do! Best of luck with your elimination diet. It's a long road that we are on....and slow and steady wins the race!

I have been making bone broth for years, boiling it down to concentrate it, and freezing it in ice cube trays. A couple of cubes makes a good cup of broth. I use it in everything. When I cook a steak or a lamb chop I make a sauce with a cube of the broth so I get some most days. Even Licorice gets some in her raw diet, which I mix for her.
I can't do chicken, but am going to try again with a soy free chicken because i really miss it. As Jean says, broth with chicken feet is the best possible. There is no flavor like it. I used to do it with the feet and the carcass together. The only bad part of doing feet is cutting the nails (bring to the boil and clip them off while hot.). I used to LOVE eating the feet. I was brought up on them.
I have difficulty in getting grass fed bones. especially lamb. I am putting in an order to a new farm to get them sent to me. I am trying to only eat grass fed, but it is hard to come by. And expensive. Beef, especially steak is around, but lamb and pork are not so easy.

I was interested in finding out what the nutritional content of bone broth was and came across this article:

The author of this article is also the co-author of a book about bone broth that was co-authored by Sally Fallon of the Weston Price Foundation. I tried to resist buying it but I just ordered it.

I'll report back after it arrives.

Jean,
Thanks for that clarification. Up until now, I've been believing conventional claims (apparently they were assumptions, not science-based) about bone broth and bone stock being high in calcium. Even the popular site Mark's Daily Apple makes that mistake:
It makes me wonder how many other health claims about food are based on assumptions, rather than science.

Cooking with BonesCalcium – I’ve downplayed the importance of large amounts of supplementary calcium in the past, but that doesn’t mean it’s not important. It’s the raw material for bone production and fortification, and bone stock might be one of the best sources of calcium around, especially for those who avoid dairy and don’t eat enough leafy greens.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
