I did a search of the archives for collagen and only came up with bone broth which I know is rich in collagen. I bought a tub of Collagen Peptides at Costco yesterday. I’m anxious to see what everyone’s opinion is on taking it. I tried some in water yesterday and it didn’t bother me. Thanks in advance.
Love,
Connie

Hi Connie,
Collagen is what jello (gelatin) is made of, so it shouldn't be harmful. Jello (plain) was one of the few things that never bothered me early on during my recovery, even when I ate a lot of it.

Hello Connie,
For my breakfast smoothies I use one banana, dark chocolate collagen peptides, almond or walnut milk, spoonful of almond butter, sometimes a flax oil, and a little ice. This is easy for me to make and head off to work! I also remain pretty nauseated all the time and the smoothie seems to calm my stomach, at least for a little bit.
Cheers,
Eliza

I started on my on my recovery from all this mess back in late October, it is probably from the chronic gastritis. I started GF about a month ago and sending off for EnteroLab next week so hoping that will give me more answers on what to avoid! I have made major improvements from where I started, still struggle and work towards finding what is right for my body 
I was diagnosed in 2014 and before that I stayed nauseated, I could not even look at food. My husband shopped, cooked and did everything in the kitchen. We were a sad lot:(. After several months, finding this board & Enterolab testing all that changed. I wish the same for you. I don’t think you should still be nauseated. You need to keep reading here and have you ordered Tex’s book? I read and read and read for days and learned so much from this board, it saved my life!!!!
Best of luck,
Connie

Eliza,
I don't know if I've mentioned this specifically to you, but I've posted it many times in response to various members. Nausea is a symptom of a chronic magnesium deficiency. I had the same problem in the early days of my recovery and I suffered almost every day because I was unaware of the magnesium connection. Certain body processes use abnormal amounts of magnesium (MC depletes magnesium). For example, it's well-documented that morning sickness can be prevented during pregnancy by taking higher amounts of magnesium early on during the pregnancy (before the body depletes the magnesium reserves).

Hi Eliza,
If that dose hasn't helped by now, then magnesium may not have been the problem. It may be gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying), but magnesium should help that too, so now I'm even more puzzled. Do you by any chance have diabetes?

No diabetes that I know of, it doesn't run in my family....I eat well and am thin, not sure that matters regarding diabetes or not. I haven't seen much change in the way I have been feeling since I started all this. I am sending of enterolab today, to see what that says, maybe give me some more answers. I am still nauseated, body aches, muscle spasms, anxiety and really fatigued and low energy. I would like to just sleep all the time, if I could, but duty calls haha. I was thinking that this is a very slow healing process.

Well, intestinal healing is slow, but you should be seeing at least some improvement by now. Maybe the EnteroLab results will pinpoint the problem.
