A good friend of mine that used to post at CZ, took gelatin. Maybe O/T but just to show my point that strong reactions may occur whatever one ingest;

"In the last week I came back to it again but now see I had a much larger reaction to the gelatin. Within minutes felt my heart racing, felt the bloating coming on again, super brain foggy, temperature rose, simultaneous hot sweats but feet and hands were freezing (thyroid of course) and knew I was having a consistently horrible reaction. I was in bed off and on for almost 36 hours. Big big sigh.

I went back to research and found some people do have similar harsh reactions to gelatin/collagen. I am really bummed because I know I have needed to calm down an intestinal issue and understanding how collagen can aid in the restoration of the gut can be very good. But not good when one has such a bad reaction to it.

So I really wanted to ask you if you had any kind of reaction to collagen/gelatin? And what you did to get past it if you did? I make sure it is combined with something else, like today was a simple whey breakfast drink that I have tolerated very well. I added barely 1/4 of a teaspoon of Great Lakes Collagen, heated it in water before adding it to make sure it was dissolved and preheated as is recommended. And even that small amount had me reacting within minutes. Taking a potassium supplement brought my heart back into range, and I didn't explode with the other symptoms like hot sweats and cold extremities, bloating, jittery, etc. But I definitely could tell if I'd taken say a teaspoon it would have blown me apart. "

I cannot find any fault in your posting.

This is the right attitude, try things at your own risk, be aware while you do it, bad things can happen to some people even if many people are getting (seemingly for the time until they realize that megadosing is just a stimulant and the correct path is to eat like a proper frugivore human) great results.
