When I tried BCAA's I felt miserably apathetic. I think they lower both dopamine and serotonin, simultaneously inhibiting both from the brain.
So a few more days of having high dose gelatin... I have a new issue... I am having some rather painful bowel movements, and I will say a SLIGHT amount of blood in the stool (maybe a couple drops, not anything that is stressing me out too much) the pain is what is getting me though. Afterwards though, I notice something interesting. I get all hot and sweaty and my body temperature goes up. Often times after one of these painful bowel movements my temp may go to 99F or even as high as 99.5F.
Is this because gelatin is flushing out some gunk from my body that was suppressing my metabolism, and the purging is painful because it's some bad stuff like estrogen and whatnot?
It's weird because Ray Peat says in his gelatin article that gelatin should CURE problems like bloody stools and internal bleeding not potentially introduce them? Should I tone down my gelatin intake? I am doing 72gram a day now. It's a lot, to be sure, but I am pretty sure RP says you can go as high as 100g without problems and Haidut went to 128g, although at that point he did say you get nausea symptoms.
Glycine makes your blood thinner. I get nosebleeds if I take too much Glycine. If you are taking Aspirin or vitamin E at the same time it is probably too much. I would lower the dose for a couple of days and see if the problems stop. For me the nosebleeds go away 1 or 2 days after I quit taking Glycine.

Yeah probably but there is no sense suffering through it if I can mitigate it with gelatin.
My temps are actually fairly good for the most part. Usually I can get to 98.6-99+ soon after morning coffee and can maintain it the whole day. I do still struggle getting good sleep / maintaining temperature during sleep though.
I briefly tried thyroid but didn't like it. It made me feel worse.
I know you’re iron status is good but just in spite of all the iron discussions we had and my opinion that adequate levels is necessary for health although optimal levels seems to vary individual to individual this study is quite interesting regarding irons effect on tryptophan converting to niacin instead of serotonin.

A long time ago, my nostrils bled a little after I started using gelatin, but it never happened again. Nowadays I eat 50 grams of it all at once and don't notice any problems. Regarding the blood in stool, the only time I saw it was when I was eating a ton of yams. Some people report that vitamin K2 doesn't do much for blood clotting and that vitamin K1 works better. I eat steamed parsley for vitamin K1, because only 30 grams of it has almost 0,5 miligrams of this vitamin. Beet greens are also a very good source, as is spinach.It does still seem to improve my sleep. I have noticed less muscle pains as well. For a while I was starting to get some random aches and pains and chalked it up to the weight gain adding stress to my body, but now those are almost gone. I also notice my body gets quite warm when I eat jello. So it has to be metabolically beneficial.
I am going to keep at it. My intuition/gut is telling me that it is doing me good in the long run. I feel like I'm right that the problem is I am finally flushing out, what is possibly old fecal matter and excess estrogen etc, if some of that crap has been lingering in there for a while, I can see why it would be painful coming out.
Like I said, the fact that my body temperature rises as much as 1-1.5F after the bowel movement, lends me to believe whatever I expelled was suppressing my metabolism.
If I have been glycine deficient for some time, it will not cure itself overnight, but I hope with large dosing (72g of gelatin a day) it should resolve itself somewhat quickly.
I will continue to monitor blood in the stools, and as long as it does not exceed a drop or two of blood, I am not going to worry too much about it.

I didn't know that. No wonder I got one of my worst nosebleeds (I had to put ice on it to stop it from bleeding) when I woke up the night after drinking a hot chocolate with added gelatin. Hot beverages alone are a trigger for me and I combined it with yet another potential trigger.
On another note, I'm finding even a low dose of gelatin helpful. I don't know how you can eat such amounts. About a cup of Jello seems to satiate me.
This morning I added a Jello shot to my breakfast and felt much warmer afterwards.
It only happens if i take 20-30g of Glyine powder, lower doses like 5-10g of Glycine are fine (Gelatine contains 25% Glycine).
