Homemade Leaky Gut Bone Broth Recipe (1)

Leaky Gut Bone Broth

Bone broth (or stock) is fabulous for healing intestinal permeability. It contains collagen, which nourishes the intestinal lining and reduces inflammation. Plus, it’s easy for a damaged gut to digest and reap the benefits of its protein and minerals. Our version contains added gut superfoods that will take its gut-restoring potential to the next level. The vegetables add prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, flavonoid and nutrient properties, and the spices we use have been specifically shown to improve gut integrity. If you suffer with increased intestinal permeability or one of the many conditions associated with leaky gut, this is a must-have in your regular culinary repertoire.

Conditions associated with leaky gut include: Acne, allergies, brain fog, Celiac disease, constipation, Crohn’s disease, depression, diarrhea, eczema, fatigue, food intolerance, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hives, IBS, migraines, overweight/obesity, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, rosacea, ulcerative colitis.

Course Soups

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Poultry, fish, shellfish, beef or lamb bones Options include: cooked bone with a previous meal, with or without skin mean; raw bones with or without skin and meat (can also be browned first for flavor); use a whole carcass or just parts (good choices include feet, ribs, necks and knuckles)
  • 4 cups cold water enough to cover the bones
  • 1-2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 medium Onion peeled and quartered
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic peeled and sliced in half
  • 1/4 cup dried wild mushrooms such as sh*take
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2-3 slices Fresh Ginger Root peeled
  • 1 tsbp dried oregano
  • 1 handful Fresh Parsley only add for last 30 minutes of cooking

Instructions

  • Combine bones, water and vinegar in a pot, bring to a boil, remove any scum that has risen to the top and reduce heat.

  • Simmer 4-6 hours for fish or shellfish, 6-48 hrs for poultry, 12-72 hrs for beef or lamb, the longer the better so that more gelatin and nutrients are released into the liquid.

  • Add the vegetables, spices and herbs for the last hour of cooking.

  • Strain through a sieve and discard the bones and vegetables. If uncooked meat was used to start with, you may reserve the meat for soup or salads. If you wish to remove the fat, use a gravy separator while the broth is warm, or skim the fat off the top once refrigerated.

  • Cold broth will gel when sufficient gelatin is present. Broth may be frozen for months, or kept in the refrigerator for about 5 days.

  • Broth can be used in soups, stews, braised dishes, sauces, or gravies.

  • It can also be sipped as a warm drink, especially nice with a squeeze of lemon and a little sea salt.

  1. I make bone broth all the time, but never had it with mushrooms before. I’ll have to try some chicken broth with shiitake next time, sounds tasty!

  2. Almost everything I see and also cook has onion in it but now I have to cook for someone who cannot eat citrus, tomato/tomato products or onions. What is a good substitute for onions?

  3. i am dealing with severe leaky gut…..everything aggravates my skin. I have tried other Leaky Gut Bone Broth Recipes but left the chicken in (for sustenance) and it bothered my skin. Was leaving the chicken in part of the problem, and will it hinder the healing? Thank you for any help.

    • Hi MB,
      Sometimes collagenous bone broths will upset SIBO and gut dysbiosis – you might try plain collagen powder or bone broth from large marrow bones…

  4. Hi

    Dr Jill, I’m making this recipe this weekend and would like to know if it’s best to eat the Bone Broth on a empty stomach or is it ok to eat after I’ve already eaten?

    I’m making the Broth in a slow cooker and i’ll be keeping in the slow cooker for 17 -20 hours.

    Regards

  5. Dr. Jill,
    I have significant hair loss, gut issues and adrenal fatigue. I would love to add bone broth and even a collagen powder to my smoothies to help with these issues. However, I have read that those with MTHFR and possible histamine issues may not be able to tolerate either and it could possibly make things worse? How would one know? I greatly appreciate your time and any input? God Bless! C

    • Hi C,
      You may try them but marrow bone broth may be better than collagenous bone broth….

  6. Thank you for the response. Are there any collagen powders or premade bone broths that are made from just marrow? Thank you! C

    • Hi C – I am not sure… the Bone Broth protein we carry in store would be a good one to try. Call Amy on Monday if you’d like to order 303-993-7910.

    My son has severe chronic stomach pain on the lower right side. He’s been evaluated for so many things. He has celiac disease, slow motility, autoimmune markers, and malabsorption. Could Leaky Gut be the cause of all of this?

    • Yes, dysbiosis and leaky gut could both be part of the problem

  11. Dr Jill; Thank you for your recipe and encouraging posts. I am 74 yr old male with mild Crohn’s . I have had a total of 6 bleeds over the past 15 years and 2 perianal abscesses and 1 perianal ulceration in the past 2 years. My GI Dr and Surgeon are HOT to put me on a Biologic with ALLLLLL the associated side effects. I would much rather try Bone broth and some other lifestyle adjustments and continue with Llialda 12 GM Tabs, @ 3 tabs per day. Thank you for your work.

    Reply

    • Hi Jeffrey,
      Chronic urticaria may be related to poor breakdown of histamine, genetic SNPs, thyroid abnormalities or mold or other toxin exposure. The gut may have something to do with it but not always
