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

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
