Experience With Bone Broth For Healing Gut?

Hi everyone! I've been so frustrated with my ongoing digestive problems, that I started to really consider drinking/eating bone broth, as I've heard it is really great for the digestive tract. I found a company that makes their own brand, that you can order online and I'm really interested in trying it. They go into detail about the process/ingredients and it matches every description I've found online. I don't want to make my own for a variety of reasons, one of course being that I don't believe I would make it the right way due to inexperience. They say their broth has been used by GAPS clients and others just looking for ultimate health benefits, and they seem to have a lot of good reviews.

I want to try it, but I was wondering first if anyone had their own positive/negative experiences with this. I know Gottaski mentioned that it is very good for healing the gut, which made me even more interested...but I was just curious if anyone else has any other testimonials. Thanks in advance!

There was someone on here a few years ago that made her own and thought it was great.  I think its really pretty easy to make & can be made in a crockpot.  

 

Let me see if I can find her posts.

 

 

Sorry, I am not finding it right now.  You could go to the main page and use the google function to find some posts about it.  If you use the little "gear" you can chooses "as posts" which is easier to read.

Hi!

Not sure I was clear. The GAPs protocol has helped many with digestive problems.

Since you have mentioned having issues with many foods as well as ongoings symptoms....I think bone broth and /or regular homemade broth will be easy on your system, but would not expect its use to heal your gut. Only time along with avoidance of all items that irritate your system can heal the damage of celiac disease.

See the difference:

Good food for a healing gut....

Rather than...

It will heal a gut.

I still believe broth...either bone or regular is an excellent food for those that are not improving with strict gluten removal of more than six months.

Thank you Kareng! I'll look into it. :) 

 

Gottaski, oops! Sorry for the confusion. I might have mixed up what you said in your response with some of the information I've been reading online about it. There are a lot of claims that it can heal an ailing gut - mostly talking about candida or leaky gut rather than celiac disease. I'm pretty sure my digestive issues now are due to the candidiasis. The GAPS diet is promoted for healing for a lot of issues, but I don't think I'd tolerate many of the phases well due to other food intolerances, so I was thinking of just trying the bone broth in hopes that it might help with digestive problems. It does seem like it has a lot of health benefits.

Great!

 

and I do think Bone or Regular Broth are excellent food choices for those struggling to heal :)

Bone broth is ridiculously easy to make and better than any processed stocks. It will not heal your gut miraculously, but it does aid in digestion and is

a good source of collagen, glucosamine, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus  and, they are in a form that is easily absorbed by the body. 

 

here's an easy recipe, with instructions and pictures:

Thanks! That does seem like a fairly easy recipe. I do plan on cooking more and trying out new recipes, so maybe once I have a pressure cooker I will look into this. Thanks again!

I haven't bought the brand you mentioned, but I do make my own broth.  I just put the chicken bones back in to crockpot and cook overnight.  If I think of it I also toss some vegetables in.  In the morning I run it through a strainer and the broth is delicious.  I used some broth to nourish me when I had colonoscopy prep and my blood test afterward showed improvement in hydration also I had enough nutrients after a day of   liquid diet!  I also didn't feel as hungry as I expected to be when I fasted using this. 

 

Whether it is a miracle cure for anything, I don't know, but I do feel that it can be used as a nourishing addition to the diet.  When I had some days without appetite, I just had broth and coconut milk shakes.  I felt much better afterward as some healing had taken place.  I often wish I could see what is going on within that gut, but haven't figured it out how to yet.

 

I hope you will be healing up.

Thanks everyone! This is why I try to come on here and ask people their personal experience/input. It's hard to decipher what's true and what isn't. At first the idea of bone broth sounded disgusting (I'm not a big meat eater - I only eat boneless grilled chicken) but now it sounds pretty good! I'll definitely look into it. And that looks like a nice crockpot, Karen! Lol. I'm going to turn into a great chef whether I want to or not :P

      By Grahamsnaturalworld · Posted

      GliadinX/Tolerase G

      By ShariW · Posted

      I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination. I had not taken Gliadin-X before that meal, which made for a pretty miserable day. Learned my lesson... 😞

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi trents, thanks for the response.  The 2nd opinion doctor said that if my CRP is still elevated at that time, he would advise me to look at Crohns/UC or another autoimmune issue. The colonoscopy I had this year seemed to rule those 2 out for now so he still believed celiac may explain it. No previous doctors have suggested any explanation for it even after calling to tell me it was a concerning result.  I guess it feels tough knowing I have positive blood testing, permissive genetics, and visible duodenum changes... and somehow it's NCGS instead of celiac. I'm still surprised the biopsies came back negative when the doctor was so sure they would be positive.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      "He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac." But with if the elevated CRP levels are caused by some other inflammatory process going on in your body? "She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate." Totally wrong! This is a highly accurate test for celiac disease, that requires specialized expertise to perform and interpret, and it is more expensive than other blood tests. It is generally used as a last test to confirm celiac disease after a positive tTG-IgA test. The sensitivity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals with the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the sensitivity is generally very high, ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the test can accurately detect celiac disease in a significant percentage of people who have the condition. The specificity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals without the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the specificity is also high, typically around 95% to 100%. This indicates that the test can effectively rule out celiac disease in individuals who do not have the condition. Taken from the following article: Looking at the whole picture, I am wondering if you are transitioning from NCGS to celiac disease. Some experts in the gluten disorder field believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi all, just wanted to post an update.  I have been gluten free for about 1.5 months now and seeing improvement already in the bathroom.  Recently I had a visit with another GI doctor for a 2nd opinion. He said that while my blood tests and scope are not a "slam dunk" for celiac, he believes it's more likely than not that I have it. His advice was to stay with a celiac-level gluten free diet (no CC) for 6-12 months then retest to make sure TTG-IGA is still negative. He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac.  Today I had a follow up with the original GI that performed the scope. She is confident it is NCGS and says I can still have gluten sometimes. When I asked about the visible duodenum damage, she said it is just "irritation" from gluten because the biopsies were negative. She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate."  I guess I'm having trouble reconciling the totally different advice from these 2 GI's. I want to believe the new doctor more at this point because what he said just makes more sense to me, and he gave an actionable timeline for possible next steps. Feeling lost and disappointed at this point and wanted to write it down here in case anyone has input. Thank you.
