Hello all, I live in the Netherlands and the only Gelatin that is available here are Gelatin sheets made from pork skin. So I use these as my source for the anti-inflammatory, anti-serotonin amino acids.
I usually heat milk in the microwave and then dissolve the Gelatin in the hot milk. After an hour or so, I usually feel more relaxed and clear-headed. This is likely the GABA-like effect of the Gelatin.
A few weeks ago I had very disturbing sensations in my body: pressure inside my head, intestines making weird noises, very negative thinking and difficulty sleeping. I cut out all peatarian foods and went back to a very simple diet consisting of just meat and white rice for a week.
This solved the problem. Day by day I started adding Peat approved foods, first milk and cheese. Then sugar and fruit-juice. Symptoms didn't return so far.
Then I added Gelatin back in and 2 days later I got the disturbing body sensations again. I also added taurine during this time as it is supposed to lower serotonin. Check this study :

Adding Taurine also resulted in pressure in my head and negative thinking.
My theory is that Gelatin and Taurine if they are uncooked feed bad bacteria/endotoxin in my intenstines. They feed off the amino acids and multiply, going into my bloodstream and releasing massive amounts of serotonin which explains my migraine like symptoms and very negative thinking. Normally I am a very fun oriented person. But when the endotoxin is in my gut, I do not want to do fun things anymore. I'd rather stay at home alone watch tv and be safe (anti-social
behavior).
Taurine and Gelatin normally should lower serotonin. But when you can't digest them properly they feed endotoxin and actually increase serotonin! So watch out people! I definetely think that Taurine and Gelatin are very good supplements as they lift my mood within an hour, and my mood stays up, for a day or two. Then the bad bacteria take over and I feel like a mess.
My question is this: Can you cook the gelatin and taurine in boiling water without destroying the amino-acids? As I said, Gelatin and Taurine do lift my mood initially so I really want to tolerate them and reap their amazing relaxing, mood-lifting benefits.
benefits!
