I have gotten shingles twice in the last two years so I need up my Lysine to Arginine ratios. Muscle meat and fish are the only proteins I can handle right now (eggs and dairy causing Fibromyalgia flare ups). Additionally I'm beginning a zero fiber diet for Inflammatory Bowel disease. So basically, gelatin would be super helpful for me but there's way more Arginine than Lysine and I don't know if I can risk another shingles flare.
Plus I've already had gallbladder issues, although switching to mostly coconut oil helped that.
Any input would be appreciated!

GALLSTONES
By causing an increase in total cholesterol levels, long-term lysine supplementation may also increase your risk of developing gallstones. Gallstones are solidified cholesterol deposits that accumulate in your gallbladder and hinder its proper function, causing potentially serious side effects. Gallstones may cause pain in your abdominal region, jaundice, fever, fullness, nausea and vomiting.
CASE REPORT
According to a case report published by the "American Journal of Kidney Diseases" in October 1996, lysine supplementation over a five-year period caused Fanconi syndrome and tubulointerstitial nephritis in a 44-year-old woman. These conditions both affect the kidneys and can cause permanent kidney damage and renal system failure. If you have weak or damaged kidneys, consult your physician before using a lysine supplement to make sure your kidneys are healthy enough for supplementation.
