[Siara]

Is there andbody with hashimotos that takes bone broth? I have never even contemplated ir but just read that it can help with leaky gut, osteo and a whole heap of other bits..... thoughts???

Thanks in advance.

Yes - I’ve made it up before out of beef bones and chicken carcasses. It takes ages to make but you get a vat of the stuff.

Some of the branches of Pret A Manger used to sell bone broth but I have not seen it for a while.

Yes I make it out of chicken or beef it helps a lot You can also buy it powder form

Hi Tiredmum75,

First apologies to Siara for hijacking her post... Where can you buy the powder form of bone broth please, and is it free of preservatives and other "nasties"...? Is it as good as freshly made bone broth? Have you used the power bone broth? Thank you.

[Tiredmum75 in reply to JGBH]

I bought it off the internet works awesome in meatballs and stews it is free from preservatives and nasties

[JGBH in reply to Tiredmum75]

Thanks for answering my question. Might look into this now.

Made right it takes two days, but is delicious. I've not had any that tastes like homemade. It helped my digestion. Use organic bones. I don't know if organic bones are safe from lead because some cow bone broth contains lead

Hi Siara - Indeed! I regularly make it on low in a crock pot. Mostly chicken but at times beef. I follow the hormone protocols from Dr.SaraGottfried. Here is a blog on bone broth by her 😊

Hi Siara, bone broth is easy I buy oxtail couple of large pieces put them in a roasting pan in the oven for 20mins. While they are roasting get a very large hob pan add a few pints of stock add your chopped Vegtables carrot, potato, leak, onion what ever you like and mixed herbs. Then add the oxtails from the oven along with some cyder vinegar I use a good organic one just a glug. I Simmer for about 4 to 5 hrs then take out the oxtail and pull off the meat from the bones put the meat back In the soup pan season to taste. That’s my version it’s lovely, good for everyone regardless of Thyroid problems. You need a day when your home so you can watch it and top up with liquid you will have a big batch some of which I freeze in portions.

Hypogirl60, this sounds like a really good soup, but I'm not sure it's what people mean when they say bone broth. They're usually talking about heating gently for many many hours. The meat will be completely tasteless and slimy by then.

[Hypogirl60 in reply to SilverAvocado]

The bone broth recipe I have given came from a nutritionist. To make a clear broth/stock it’s the same recipe the cider vinegar helps leach the goodness out of the bones you just simmer for 24-72 hrs and strain the veg and bones from the liquid.

[SilverAvocado in reply to Hypogirl60]

24 to 72 hours sounds more like what I was expecting!

[helvella Administrator in reply to SilverAvocado]

I think you'd find a pressure cooker (whether standard or "new-fangled" automatic) would take far less time, and cost less to run. Also, for many of us, it might be safer than leaving something simmering not just overnight, but over three nights!

Hillwoman has some experience!

[SilverAvocado in reply to helvella]

I've never had a pressure cooker, or even looked into one. Maybe I should!

[Hillwoman in reply to SilverAvocado]

I use Eileen Laird's AIP bone broth recipe in my electric pressure cooker (bought two years ago - doubles as a slow cooker). As Helvella says, it only takes two hours by this method. Results are excellent.

I don’t know about ‘broth’ but this is how I make soup, usually with the chicken carcass and anything that is left over from other meals. Something my mother used to do and probably everyone born before the war.

Yes make bone broth as part of the Autoimmune Protocol and have to say it has made a huge difference in a very short period of time. (Although couldn't put improvements down specifically to the bone broth)

Several Uk suppliers of organic bone broth online too

Just make sure to avoid ones that have iodine added.

Iodine needs avoiding absolutely with Hashimoto's

I am in uk and I had to have clear bone broth when I had diviculitis.. I ordered it on my Ocado delivery, can be frozen for a little while.. it was made over many hours ..it wasn’t that nice the chicken was the nicer but it did help my problem . I am hypo but it dr told me to have broth for a few days for the diviculitis together with antibiotics..so I don’t info helps you , but it seems it is very nourishing..I wasn’t well enough at that time to make my own

I cheat and buy organic Ossa from my health food shop, you can buy direct then freeze, into ice bag portions for each day. I buy the Beef one.

I love bone broth(esp homemade) I use it a lot when my gut feels off. I have used it after doing a detox. And also in all cooking that requires liquid base.
