[Avidreader]

Anyone know where I can buy pasture fed gelatine ( organic ) ( like Amy Myers sells ) in UK ? For thickening & AIP CALES ETC

I buy Great Lakes gelatine on Amazon. My husband and I are trying the AIP too

I’ve been doing the AIP since reading Amy Myers MD. book the Thyroid Connection- since last August - it’s a life changer for me - energy , lost 3 stone in 3 months

So glad to hear that AIP helped you. My husband has Graves, I’m in perfect health but decided to follow it with him. We have been trying to conceive for 3 years now and only when my husband got a diagnosed it finally started making sense why we are struggling. I’m hoping the AIP could help to get his body back on track and that we can conceive naturally. The journey has started!

Can I ask you what you eat for breakfast? We love oats but they are not allowed so struggling to find something similar on AIP...

[Avidreader in reply to Kari55]

yes I really miss oats ! We have a green smoothie most mornings as it's quick! At w/ends we have bacon , mushrooms, (an egg if you can tolerate?)

i often make my breakfast from leftovers that I've batch cooked -(yes it's a f/time job this AIP !!) So maybe stir fried chicken & veg jazzed up with Coconut Enzymes (sugar free - Check labels) I buy on Amazon UK

Sometimes an avocado with meat

I'm waiting to try Tiger Nut porridge - But never get around to it !! Have bought the tiger nuts!

[Avidreader in reply to Kari55]

Ps ! The Tiger. It “ oats “ were fab ! You make it day before soak them overnight - you’ll find he recipe on Amy Myers website - I bought the ingredient s on amazon

Thanks, I follow Amy Myers and recently got her email on the gelatin. Never occurred to me but it makes sense. She has many good ideas and she is one of my 'go-to' people. Plan on looking into this, along with making bone broth from organic, pasteured chickens. I have bad knees and am being encouraged toward knee replacements which I'm not ready to add to my healthcare list yet. My thinking is that I've known people who swear by Glucosamine Chondroitin which I understand is made from chicken cartilage et. al. For me it is still a supplement that probably started out as a good idea but now has Big Pharma fingerprints all over it. So my thinking is this: make my own chicken cartilage re homemade bone broth and the gelatin might be another good element to add. Any ideas? My orthopod says he will do the surgery as soon as I got off the coumadin-which has happened. But still have 4 months of Plavix and I think he is being a little too hasty and pushy re surg. At any rate I'm not doing anything til the Watchman process is completely behind me. And my body has a chance to rest and recover. Meanwhile I'll try my own less aggressive ideas. Don't really need the knees of a 25 y.o. anymore-just want a little less pain. And I'm a bit leary of total knee replacements. I've seen it go either way. Not very trusting!! irina
