Some recipes I'm looking at for Thanksgiving use gelatin.... for pumpkin squares etc.
I'm also looking at how gelatin helps with joint aches.
If I'm in remission, would using beef gelatin in recipes effect me?
My Enterolab results from 4 years ago showed reactions back then.
I take supplements and the capsules are made fromgelatin with no issues.
Anyone have any experience?

Probably not, but as you know, there are no guarantees. You'll just have to try it.
Or make your own from chicken broth by using a lot of cartilage, feet, etc.

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.
Hi Tex!
I don't eat chicken anymore because of Enterolab results.
I do make turkey broth and use the feet, though.
The gelatin powder doesn't taste or smell like beef, so that's why you can cook with it.
I hear you've been doing alright lately! I'm so glad for that.

Linda,
Actually you have to make stock (rather than just bone broth) to get a gel, of course. Turkey, or duck, or various other poultry should word. How about lamb? If beef stock will jell, surely lamb stock would also.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words of support.

Can you believe that I can't find lamb bones to make stock locally?
I'd have to order online. Crazy...I live in PA!
Have you read about chronic wasting disease in the deer in PA? It's becoming an issue here.....soon there won't be anything left for us to eat!
It's a crazy life indeed!

That's a heck of a note on the lamb bones.
I've been watching the spread of CWD for many years. It's now in a lot of the southwestern states. Thanks to breeders importing deer before they found out that they need to have them checked out for CWD, CWD can be found over nearly half of Texas, already.

Hi Louise,
I buy Great Lakes gelatin powder because the manufacturer is about 7 miles from me. Here is their website: http://greatlakesgelatin.com/storefront/
They have some recipes on their website and more on Pinterest.
I haven't made anything with it except plain gelatin sweetened with 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar for each 2 cups of water. When I eat it, I pour a teaspoon of maple syrup on the top of it for a little more flavor. It tastes similar to Crème brûlée. I eat 1/2 cup of the gelatin after each lunch and dinner.
An orthopedic surgeon told me eleven years ago when I had meniscus surgery on a knee that I had arthritis in my knee joints and there wasn't anything he could do for it. I have been taking two of Freeda's Glucosamine tablets (no chondroitin and not derived from fish) since before the surgery, and I'm not having any arthritic issues in my knees or anywhere else. The Glucosamine and gelatin are keeping the arthritis at bay, apparently.

Hi Gloria!
Long time, no talk!
How are you doing?
Great Lakes is a better value on Amazon, too!
I see that your intolerances include beef...so this doesn't bother you? Amazon has marine gelatin, also, but the cost is twice as much as the beef.

Hi Linda,
I'm doing pretty well, though I'm still taking 5-6 Entocort pills a week. My diet is limited with no vegetables, but I can have a little mango jam, mango sherbet and a slice of dried mango every day. I've also discovered that I can tolerate marzipan (almond paste) coated with a little bit of chocolate. My diet is meat, corn flour pasta and tortillas, almond flour, gelatin, and the mango listed above. I am content with my diet and no longer lament that I can't eat anything else.
My 2015 Enterolab testing showed that I have intermediate immunologic reactivity to beef and pork and put them in the 1+ list. My MRT results in 2010 indicated that turkey, lamb and pork were green (OK), but eggs, chicken and beef were not. I have found a generally close relationship between the MRT results and the Enterolab results, but there are some differences, as in the meat and vegetables categories. I eat turkey, lamb and pork, but not chicken nor beef.
The Enterolab results also showed I can eat white potatoes, but I have yet to find a potato I can tolerate. My carbohydrates come from corn noodles, and I eat 1-2 servings of them every day.
I order the gelatin derived from pork from Grayslake Gelatin. I think the twice daily gelatin, combined with eating lamb broth and turkey broth two of every three days have soothed my gut. I no longer have watery D and most days I have 1-4" Norman pieces. I still go to the bathroom two-three times most mornings, but some of that is deliberate because if I sit too long in the bathroom, I get hemorrhoids. I try to not linger there, even if I have to go back in under 10 minutes. It has helped prevent the hemorrhoids.
Too much information, I know. I'm not used to divulging such information since I've been absent from the board.
About the lamb broth. I eat a lamb chop every three days for dinner. I put the leftover bones from the lamb chop in a bag in the freezer and accumulate them until I run out of lamb broth. I buy a cheaper cut of shoulder lamb chops and add them to the frozen bones when I make the broth. The shoulder lamb chops have some meat on them, so I can get some meat from the broth for my soup. My soups only have meat and corn noodles in the broth since I can't have vegetables.
It sounds like you're doing well. Congratulations, you worked hard to get there and it didn't come immediately. I'm happy for your success.

Hi Gloria. Nice to see you here. You are a good example for others of how we each have to figure this out for ourselves, what works and what doesn't work (even though there are similarities among us), and then we simply have to accept what we discover. I avoided chicken, eggs and beef up until a few months ago when I added beef back without any problems but chicken and eggs are gone for good. Venison, pork, beef and lamb are my go to proteins. I've been making pork broth and have some every day. Before that I made duck broth from ducks feet but they are kind of expensive. Pork bones are cheaper. I can eat vegetables, even salads now, but I went years before I added them back. Meat and veggies suit me fine. I feel satisfied not deprived. Beyond figuring out the food aspect of things it is so crucial to work on an attitude of acceptance. Life is about so much more than what we eat.

Gloria,
Jean is right, we all fall into our own patterns of what we can consume as the years go by. And that's our new normal.
I still have some digestion issues that I'm working on. I can only eat very small meals.
I have chronic sinus congestion, some arthritis, and fatigue.
The holidays can be a tough time as families have traditions with food, and I'm the odd ball. It gets easier, but there's always pangs of wanting to be my old self that could eat anything, and be a part of that scene.
I still eat lamb, fish, venison, & turkey. I can eat almost any veggie including salad, if it's in small portions.
I do well with small amounts of fruit.
I never deviate, and don't eat processed foods.
Have you tried a squatty potty? I've found it's been a great help. I also go several times in a morning because I'm afraid to sit very long.
What a great idea to save the lamb loin chop bones and make broth! I never thought of that! Thanks for the tip!
I'm glad to know that you're doing alright. It was good to catch up!
