Gelatin/bone broth

Hi all!

Five plus years into my healing journey.....couldn’t do bone broth until recently, (homemade turkey broth) and have been sticking to my Enterolab initial report stating that I reacted to beef and chicken and pork.

Finding clean gelatin (not beef, pork, or chicken) to use as egg substitutes or jello for the benefits of joint health and digestion is very difficult.....I could try marine gelatin, but want to try beef because it’s cheaper.

Do you think I would have a problem with beef gelatin for egg substitutes, or jello?

How many of you have added foods successfully back into your diet that you were reacting to long ago?

Thanks for your input!

Beef never caused diarrhea for me but it did cause bloating and upper body aches and pain (in my back and shoulders). The C1 test panel wasn't available back then, so I never did the EnteroLab test. Unfortunately, even though I have been in remission for 14 years now, I still get the shoulder and back aches and pains if I eat beef. They're bad enough that I still avoid beef. YMMV.

On the other hand, I did add corn back into my diet many years ago, and it's still OK.

I added dairy back into my diet early on, and it causes no noticeable digestive symptoms, but I had to remove it again after about a year because it began to cause osteoarthritis symptoms, and that was verified by an EnteroLab test that showed that I was producing antibodies to casein.

So, the body has a great memory, and maybe we can get away with a known antigen here and there, but in the long run test results and our issues are for life.....

I’m surprised you can do corn successfully! Good for you!

Maybe I was wrong initially when I decided that I was sensitive to corn. Maybe I didn't need to avoid it after all.

I've since added a sensitivity. Early on, I tested negative to soy at EnteroLab. After a few years I began to test positive.

Linda,

I've added back beef without any problem or at least I have not detected a problem as of yet.

Thanks, Jean!

So far so good with the gelatin. I made jello with frozen blueberries, and it’s yummy.

How have you been?

when it comes to beef, i can only do grass fed.

even now, 8 years down the track i react to meat sources that are too highly grain fed.

Hi
Concerning bone broth and gelatin. I am using Great Lakes hydrolized. Made from grass fed cows. I'm not aware of any benefit so far. How much should I be taking? And has anyone anything to say about the bone broth diet of Dr Kellyann Petrucci? Her shakes have collagen and inulin. Inulin is not my friend.
Thx

Gabes....so, you did have to avoid beef early on and now you can tolerate grass fed clean beef?

Persevere.....what I’ve noticed is that it takes a long time for me to see the results of anything I try...for example I’ve been drinking tumeric tea every morning for 5 months. It took almost four months to feel the effects of it.
I don’t know if I have a slower metabolism, but I have to be very patient with everything that I try!
