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

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      No, @yellowstone, you are not alone.  I've experienced such treatment throughout my life.   Some people have the herd mentality, much like cattle, where the sick or lame are pushed to the fringes of the herd where wolves can pick them off easily, thus ensuring the health of the rest of the herd.   Some people fear what they don't understand.  They choose ignorance.  Rudeness, contempt, hostility, and belittling are all behaviors meant to ostracize and control others.  If you and your needs can be minimized or dismissed altogether, then they don't have to take on the responsibility of helping.  Some are just mean and petty.  They are so small, fearful, and insecure within themselves, they find some twisted satisfaction in putting you down so they can feel better about themselves.    People can't give what they don't have.  They have not developed the internal strengths, courage, and compassion required to help another person.  Some are fearful of losing what little they do have if they attempt to help.  Much like a drowning man may endanger a rescuer trying to pull them to shore, many choose to swim away instead of helping because they know they are not good enough swimmers.  Many don't take the time to practice swimming, or giving of their heart.  Many feel awkward and clumsy in their misguided helpful attempts, so they give up trying at all.   Other diseases have been "glamorized" to some degree.  Famous people have raised awareness of various diseases, resulting in greater social acceptance and monetary support, but this is superficial.  The daily struggles are left unexamined behind a curtain of privacy.   The crucible of Celiac Disease not only refines us and makes us stronger, it purges our lives of people who don't have the mettle required to positively contribute to and be included in our lives.  Let them go.  Their leaving will make room for more constructive relationships with people who are more enlightened and capable.  You've found your tribe here.  Be encouraged! Take care of yourself.  Taking a B Complex, like Life Extension's Bioactive B Complex, is beneficial in boosting the absorption and utilization of these essential life sustaining vitamins.  Benfotiamine helps heal the intestines along with Vitamin A, Theanine, and Tryptophan.  Thiamine TTFD helps immensely with the neurological symptoms along with Neuromag, a form of magnesium that helps the brain function.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and supports the thyroid and bone health.  https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/item01945/bioactive-complete-b-complex?srsltid=AfmBOoqCnzmSXIlbatQqayiGmhTJUFm-XVjOeIMcjAmJJ7mqWWpBbnUc

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      My celiac symptoms are extra-digestive; if I had to classify them, I’d say they are predominantly neurological: extreme fatigue that prevents me from making physical or intellectual effort, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, clumsy movements, pain… When I’m at my worst, I notice that some people behave hostilely toward me: they speak to me rudely, become authoritarian, belittle me, look at me and treat me with contempt… This made me question many aspects of my life and how others perceived me: What was it about me that seemed to bother others so much? What could I do to fix it? Paying closer attention, when I was sicker, others saw me as cold, distant, as not talking too much, less engaged, apathetic, sad… All of this, far from being intentional, was just how my symptoms—and my attempt to cope with them—manifested to others. But objectively, was my behavior harmful or detrimental to anyone? Did I deserve the treatment some people were giving me? No, my behavior doesn’t harm anyone, and if someone feels uncomfortable, the solution would be to walk away, not to treat me like s$#&. And here are the unanswered questions: What leads a person to interpret illness symptoms as something offensive? What kind of issues do these people have? How are people with degenerative or other types of illnesses who are in a situation of dependency treated? Am I the only one these things happen to?

      I was wondering if your shakes and off balance went away after stopping gluten?

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By drjay · Posted

      Thanks, yall! The tough part now is figuring out if I’m actually feeling better or is it some form of placebo effect. I do actually feel better but I’m not positive if I may just be gaslighting myself lol

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      @drjay in addition to what @trents wrote, I wanted to comment on your statement, "Positive for DQ2 and homozygous for DQB1*02 but negative for DQ8" You don't need DQ2 >and< DQ8 in order to be susceptible to getting celiac. Either one is good enough. DQB1*02 is a specific genetic allele that encodes part of the DQ2 protein. "Homozygous" means two copies of the same allele (the opposite is "heterozygous", where the two copies are different alleles). If you are homozygous for DQB1*02, you couldn't have DQ8. In other words, your genetic test tells you that you definitely have the potential to get celiac.
