How to fix haemorrhoids/piles?

@LetTheRedeemed I'd imagine taking that much isolated glycine would irritate your gut. other amino acids in gelatin are also antiinflammatory.
"Some types of cell damage are prevented almost as well by alanine and proline as by glycine, so the use of gelatin, rather than glycine, is preferable, especially when the gelatin is associated with its normal biochemicals. For example, skin is a rich source of steroid hormones, and cartilage contains “Mead acid,” which is itself antiinflammatory." -peat

@Mossy got the idea from someone on the old forum who was talking about doing the same thing for hemorrhoids and having really good results. I tried smaller amounts and found that 50 to 60 grams is most effective. you'd be getting 15-20 grams of glycine with that much gelatin, which is a big contributor to its anti-inflammatory effects, plus your GI tract is comprised of collagen so it only makes sense to supplement for GI healing.
don't really get any constipation issues with it, but i think i have really good motility. maybe some cascara with it for increased peristalsis could help?
I appreciate the additional detail and suggestion. I've been thinking of cascara recently, but like with all supplements, I get negative effects. Maybe I'll try it in a tea form. Thank you.

@samson did you ever read anything negative about taking strait glycine?
I know Peat was generally anti isolated amino supplementation, but glycine has such powerful anti-inflammatory effects…
Here is a quote I have from Peat in my notes. Of all isolated amino acids, he considers glycine safe.
It's worth mentioning that I don't feel well on it, but I know many others do.
“I don’t think it’s very safe to use individual amino acids, glycine is the only one I know of that is safe by itself because it can be used as energy”

@Mossy oh cool, thanks for that quote. It’s also good to know that it could irritate the gut.

@Mossy tea with sugar and milk was the only way I wouldn’t have problems with cascara sagrada

@samson fyi I had to quit Now foods gelatin, because I would keep getting hemorrhoid flareups from them. I believe I looked pretty far into their company and got no confirmation whether or not they used silica in their production. I've had no such issues with great lakes gelatin.
let us know if you ever bother and find anything different about them.
It's crazy tho, within days of quitting now brand I would feel better

@LetTheRedeemed why not ask them? im impressed by how they actual verify the olive oil they sell and use in their gelatin capsule supps
i think gelatin can have endotoxin . collagen peptides might be better for cleanliness but then again maybe the further processing adds other contaminants

Gelatin (bone broth) excite histamine release. Must be take into account when suffering from allergies.
