Bone Broth

[Janie]

Gabes, every week when I make Lamb Shanks bone broth, I think of you!

Thanks Janie
I hope it provides the super dooper healing powers you need!!

in the past few weeks, four new lambs have arrived here at the farm - all of them black so it is hard to get good photos..

Gabes,
Several years ago, when we traveled in Ireland there were sheep frolicking all over the beautiful Irish countryside. The wee ones were so charming, I decided that I just couldn't eat lamb while I was there. And I love lamb! Well, that decision lasted about ten days and then I finally caved in.

Thanks for the pics,
Susan

Still a great pic though, Gabes.
Susan, I eat venison and duck when I was growing up in Wisconsin. It is either my colitis or Bambi! I have no problem eating Bambi or lamb etc.

The best bone broth I've made, was made from lamb bones.

I made bone broth and it wasn’t gelatinous and I’m wondering if I did something wrong. I tried chicken (used legs and breast pieces) and beef (used femur and some short ribs). Both times I made it, I used my slow cooker~ covered the bones with water, added 1/4 c apple cider vinegar, cut onion, celery, carrot ~ cooked on low x 24 hours. Strained, refrigerated, skimmed fat. I froze it in little containers and some in an ice cube tray. I added it to my rice/protein and it added flavor but it wasn’t gelatin like at all. I’ve got to say, the house smelled delicious while it was cooking:)

Thank you for your help and advice ~
Pam

Louise,

I get all my bones at Whole Foods. They have both chicken and beef. They keep them frozen and I usually have to ask for the chicken bones. I think the beef bones are out among all the food and stuff in a freezer compartment.

And, I know everyone is different, but can you give me a ballpark on how long it might take. Also, is the gut healing supposed to be completed but stage one of the diet? And what does healing mean. That D is completely resolved?

So many questions, so little time!

How long what might take? Complete healing of the intestines takes approximately 1 year or less for young people (kids), and 3 to 5 years for older people. By the completion of stage one of the diet, your digestive symptoms should be in remission. That means a return to your normal pre-MC bowel movements. It will take 3 to 5 more years for your intestinal healing to complete, but the only remaining symptoms will be fatigue and brain fog for many of us, and that takes about 2 years to resolve after you are in remission.

For example, except for severe cases, or failure to comply to a strict diet, most of us reach remission in about 2–6 months. Some less, some more.
