These candies can be made quickly and easily without sugar (three huge thumbs up for those of us battling candida!) I was through the roof excited to discover a recipe I could alter to suit my needs. These include drinking it in hot water with a little lemon, adding it to popsicles like my Key Lime Coconut Milk Popsicles, adding it to homemade ice creams, making Homemade Jello®, or making this Homemade Gummy Candy! In the meantime, there are other delicious ways to up your gelatin intake. Homemade Gummies-An Amazingly Healthy Snack NT, and most sources, indicate that the best way to get gelatin into your diet is via homemade broths and sauces (which is a traditional culinary practice abandoned only in recent history). According to this site, "Gelatin is reported to seal and heal any damage it finds by lining the gastrointestinal tract and nourishing the rapidly-growing mucous membranes." That sounds great, now let's get me some gelatin!
Price Foundation) contribute to a variety of aliments from food allergies, intestinal infections and candida, to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, acne and the list doesn't stop there.Įqually as impressive gelatin can actually help repair and heal the mucosal lining of the digestive tract, which is glorious news for those of us dealing with candida and the aftermath of the leaky gut syndrome. Incomplete or impeded digestion of proteins can (according to the Weston A. This promotes proper digestion and aids in the breaking down of proteins. Gelatin also contains Glycine, an amino acid, which stimulates the secretions of gastric acid in the stomach. This property of gelatin helps move food through the digestive system properly and efficiently. This means that when gelatin is consumed with cooked foods, it draws the juices to itself, much like what happens when uncooked food is eaten. That being said, cooked foods containing gelatin will digest more easily because gelatin itself is hydrophilic, even when heated. Therefore, raw foods are easier to digest and digest more completely because they attract liquid in the form of digestive juices. I recently started reading Nourishing Traditions (NT) and the information about gelatin was fascinating! What I learned is that raw foods are hydrophilic, meaning they attract water, whereas cooked foods are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water. I recently read that gelatin can help with candida, leaky gut syndrome, and a bevy of other intestinal and health woes, and that stopped me in my tracks! My progress is a bit slow on being more adventurous with cuts of meat, but I can say I have been exploring gelatin and its uses more. I mean, if you're not vegan or vegetarian and are going to choose to eat animals why not show a little respect by wasting as little as possible. I now applaud those who eat "undesirable" cuts and find ways to use more of the animals we eat. Give me the nice, easy cuts and just discard the rest.right?įast forward five years and my perspective has completely changed. Who did they think they were? I mean, I only ate the well-trimmed "gift-wrapped" cuts of meat like chicken breast.Īnd don't even try putting a whole chicken in my grocery cart-gross! When someone once suggested that stores may be sneaking organ meat into my extra lean ground beef it enraged me even more!
It enraged me-first they try to sneak in undesirable animal parts into hot dogs and now into my candy!?!
Why did we need to make candy out of animals? Changing from Gelatin is "Ew". I had just been told that the gelatin in gummies was made from animals. This recipe for Homemade Gummies fits the bill and is from Candace from Candida-Free Candee (a blog that is sadly no longer operating). I'm always looking for healthy snacks that I can make in a jiffy like these no-bake cookies, no-bake chocolate mint bars, kale chips, homemade "JELLO®", and healthy chocolate truffles.
