Medicinal bone broth



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried medicinal bone broth after surgery. This is the Bone Broth that is cooked for 24 hours dissolving the bones and veggies if included, straining and drinking. It is supposed to be very beneficial. Please let me know.

This is typically the only way we drink/use broth. My surgery is not until Oct and was just starting to get concerned that the fat content might cause a negative reaction. However, it seems it would be much more healing. I was thinking if I chilled and skimmed all the fat first it may be ok. But I will double check with my NUT too.

I made it, but never ended up using it and now have a gallon size freezer bag filled with bone broth ice cubes in my freezer that I will probably never use :-/

I used the NYTimes recipe- the ingredients cost $60 and by the time it was done I just didn't love the taste so much. And I didn't get sick of Protein shakes and Water while on full liquids so I didn't really need it. But it was a fun thing to do with my time while recuperating!

I have never seen bone broth with medicinal in front of it. I opened this thread expecting to read about the wonders of alcohol infused Bone Broth, only to learn we are just talking about normal bone broth :(

It should be "medicinal"

My understanding is that its considered medicinal due to the fact that the bones are cooked for a minimum of 24 hours and up to 72 hours so that the bones disintegrate reaping the benefits if all the collagen, amino acids, Protein, glycine, chondrotin.... I'm going to look more into it. I'll share what I find for anyone who is interested

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
