Thanks for all the quotes, knowing my luck I will be one it doesn't work for but I guess we shall have to give it a tryHaagendazendiane said:Trying to find more about carrot and found thus quote,
RP quote
The contractile ability of smooth muscle, that’s impaired by swelling and inflammation, can be restored by antiinflammatory agents, for example aspirin (or other inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis) or antihistamines. This applies to the muscles of lymphatic vessels (Wu, et al., 2005, 2006; Gosling, 2000), that must function to reduce edema, as well as to the bowel muscles that cause peristalsis.
You don't have to boil for hours if using a whole chicken or oxtails.
The carrot does not work for everyone.

I do recall reading that actually not having to boil for hours, I forgot to mention more of the problem was finding good quality chickens whilst I was eating them. I was also doing chicken wings which were high in gelatin, it used to produce a good gel but I have stopped with all of them now.
As I seem to have problems with gelatin at the moment I think I may give aloe vera a try. Hopefully I can can it in a place not too expensive.
Lately my stomach has been really quite a problem and I've just been thinking what I have altered. Since I gave up the potatoes I compensated them with more fruit, this meant fruit for breakfast & dinner. Plus when I got home I would nibble on some as well to keep me going, I'm now thinking I really overdid it. I think I will just go back to oj, I think I will possibly be okay be papaya but when I hit the grapes quite heavy I begin to have trouble then. I asked earlier on in here but not sure if anyone saw it, do grapes have a lot of fiber in them? That could explain the problem if so.
I keep seeing your name pop up mentioning to eat potatoes Jenn, so I was just curious as to why you are so in favour of them whilst everyone seems to say to avoid starchy foods? With having to cut back on fruit I really wish I could eat them but with many diets saying to cut them out to heal the gut it scares me off them.

The white film on grapes is a layer of yeast cells, that live there because of the PUFA in the waxy surface of the grape
Darn PUFA messes up everything.Mittir said:The white film on grapes is a layer of yeast cells, that live there because of the PUFA in the waxy surface of the grape
Just a follow up to this, I have tried the OJ again and I am heavily constipated. Usually I can go to the toilet almost straight away after a coffee, after I've drank a bit of OJ even that doesn't work. Maybe whole fruits will be better at this time. At the moment I am using teaspoons of Collagen Hydrolysate to see if that can help, I am starting slow so getting around 4-5 teaspoons a day I would say. To really heal the gut how much should I eventually be looking to get each day?Lincoln-Imp said:I was about ready to give up on the oj today, I seem to get really bad bloating/constipation after it, it also makes me feel quite hot. When I'm at work though I put quite a lot in one flask & drink it all in one go, could I just be having too much in one go? I could try spreading it out throughout the day.
Thanks for the suggestion and I really wish I could, it's just another food though that causes me stomach problems along with acne.paper_clips43 said:Not sure if this was already mentioned but what about Coconut Oil?
I like to eat a small spoonful, maybe around a teaspoon, with every meal.
Its a good way to get extra calories in and minimize the effects of detoxing PUFA.
White potatoes are the best for healing the gut, very bowel forming. If you have constipation issues, stick with white potatoes as the basis of the diet. A white potato is NOT just starch. A good potato soup, cooked at least 30-40 minutes is probably the best form at this point in time. Maybe with a little gelatin. Aloe vera mixed with juice is good too.
