Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Several years ago I was diagnosed with IBS and was beginning to think I had leaky gut syndrome or some malabsorption problem. The gastro doc's only suggestion was Citrucel (which didn't help much). However after reading an article entitled: "Could This Natural Remedy Work even Better than Prescription Medications?" I decided to try gelatin and coconut oil, which is also good for the gut. I soften about 1 T. gelatin in a few tablespoons of cool water--it's called "letting it bloom" for a few minutes. Then add it to any hot liquid--coffee, tea, lemon juice and hot water, soup, etc. along with a teaspoon or two of refined coconut oil which has no flavor at all. I do this once or twice a day--and it has helped tremendously. A quote from the article: "Gelatin is reported to seal and heal any damage it finds by lining the gastrointestinal tract and nourishing the rapidly growing mucous membranes. Numerous sources claim that ingesting gelatin also helps to prevent wrinkles, improve joint function and maintain beautiful hair." The book, Nourishing Traditions suggests adding gelatin to canned broths to increase nutrition similar to that of homemade broths.
