Is so interesting to me and just proves yet again that I can't do this alone and i am indeed in such good hands! My IC was tipped into being by a well meaning alternative minded MD who suggested I had a yeast issue that I passed down to my (nursing) baby and I should eat more antifungal foods and eat more bone broth to heal the gut. So last fall right before this all came downI was eating soup everyday, apple cider vinegar freely, huge amounts of coconut oil, kombucha, water and coconut kefir saurerkrout etc. These are all super healthful foods but again- not for everyone at every time. I really overdid it in pursuit of health.
So one thing I just recently had a lightbulb moment about was cultured butter. I always used to buy it and I had switched to a really expensive pastured butter from whole foods. I recently noticed that it too had cultures added. I can't believe I missed that and I am wondering if that has been contributing to my pain in any way. I am going to ask Dr B next email or call.
Yes
Yes, I had been eating bone broth almost everyday in the month of December, and it was such an up and down month for me. Then Dr. B posted about the bone broth. I was so shocked! I had no idea that we weren't supposed to be having that. I thought that the bone broth was helping me get better faster.
But like you said, that is why we have her. Because how could we have known that. I stopped eating bone broth immediately and I am already feeling so much better than last month. I miss it though, I can't wait to get better so I can start eating it again. Because it is very nourishing, and filling.
But now that I can't have it, I have more time to make other things that I had been putting off. Like the biscuits, and tonight I am going to make the zuchinni muffins! =)
meat broth?
I asked her if meat broth was ok for me and she said yes (obviously, check with her for your particular situation), however, do you think I could boil an entire chicken for an hour or so? Or is this still going to be getting bone juice. Any recs on this?
