You are right, unfortunately. I just got a big sack of beef gelatin and made four different things with it today. Hoping perhaps it can help with the gut healing among other things. Other than the gelatinous cuts of meat, are you doing anything with gelatin? I don't know if you could find beef gelatin in Thailand, but I found pork gelatine sheets at a little grocer in Kampot, Cambodia; so you might try making some fruit jello. (?)
