I decided to look at my diet to help my symptoms.
This diet differed drastically from everything I knew, but it worked, so I stuck with it.
Within just a few days of an elimination diet, my digestive disease symptoms had lessened by half.
I was able to keep food down and slowly gained back much of the weight I had lost.
It was the good old-fashioned homemade chicken stock that she used.
When a hot cup of stock doesnt sound appetizing, I also use gelatin in the powdered form.
It’s sold in two forms regular and hydrolyzed collagen gelatin.
The regular is used to make things gel and doesn’t mix into cold liquids well.
The hydrolyzed collagen is water soluble and can be added to cold liquid without gelling.
Pour half of the coconut milk into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top.
Allow it to bloom (or soak up the liquid) for 5 minutes.
Pour in the gelatin and whisk until completely dissolved.
Do not let it boil.
This will prevent a gelatin “skin” from forming on top.
Place it in the refrigerator for 6 hours or until set.
The pudding will be almost solid when chilled.
Serve with gingersnap cookies, or use it as a pie filling!
