I don't know.  On the positive side, it's got lots of good vitamins and minerals in a very absorbable form, and in the right ratio to each other.  Getting those things might be able to help the body heal/regenerate the cilia in the intestines.  But I don't think I've read anything that specifically mentioned bone broth improving motility.  I will say, though, I don't think there's any harm in giving it.  If nothing else, it's a really good supplement.

“Deficiencies of minerals can be acquired, similar to vitamin deficiencies. Generally there are two ways this can happen, lack of intake in the diet, or lack of absorption in the intestines. Broth can be an excellent remedy for both of these causes of mineral deficiency because it provides easily absorbed extracted minerals, plus promotes healing of the intestinal tract.”

Edit:  I just did a super-quick search.  This is for people, but may also apply to pets:

Step Seven: Repair gut integrity
Since SIBO always causes leaky gut, it is important to rebuild the integrity of the intestinal membranes. One of the best ways to do this is by using bone broth. Bone broth is high in glutamine and glycine, both of which are essential in healing the gut. They are emphasized in both the SCD and GAPS diet. Drink 1-4 cups of bone broth daily. You can also use it to make soups. Recipes for bone broth can be found online or in Nourishing Traditions.

Bone Broth – Bone broth is very nutritious and healing for your gut, as it contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, glucosamine, chondroitin, and glycine to ease digestion and soothe inflammation.

I didn't read the above articles, I just did a keyword search on them.  But basically what it comes down to is, it's worth a try.  If nothing else, it's still a good supplement.

Thank you Pookie!

If bone broth is the answer for Mazy cat, it explains why she (and I) had to go through that whole mouth thing. I turned to bone broth in desperation.  Today is one week she's been having it daily.  she is just going to 1/3 raw and 2/3 canned (going back to raw slowly)

I was going to drop the bone broth to only two or three times a week, but I may have to suck up the inconvenience and give it to her daily, forever, if this is what it takes.  I just hope she'll like the chicken version as well as she likes the Cornish hen.  I really really can't sacrifice any more of her hens to it.

On the other hand a Coleman (certified organic, non-GMO project verified) chicken will make a lot more broth so i won't have to make it as often.

Where to put it will be an issue. Is always the issue.

One thing I AM wondering. What's the difference in organic, grass-fed beef gelatin and bone broth? They both gel.

I don't know what beef gelatin is. :)

 Bone broth gels from the collagen in the bones, just like my soup stock does, for the same reason. The difference is, I never have cooked my soup stock for 24 hours to cook the bones down to total disintegration.  I cook it 8 hours, which does bring on a really lovely aspic. :)

Bone broth can be made from any bones.  Mazy cat can't eat beef, and needs certified organic non GMO project verified, that's why I sacrificed one of her Cornish hens. Hope I can fine a Coleman roaster next time I need to make it for her, and I hope to goodness she'll love it as much as she loves the Cornish hen broth.

You're welcome.  I don't know that it's a "cure" though, and I don't want you to get your hopes up that it is.  It may help, but I'm going to gently nag you here, I still think it would be a huge benefit for Mazy to get the bloodwork done to see if Dr. Plechner's protocol would help her.  Give yourself and Mazy some time to recover from the last few weeks, but I really hope you'll keep it in mind.   fingerscrossed  HeadButt

When making bone broth, or should I say after when it cools, you'll have the gelatin congealing on the top (I think).  The broth is the liquid under it.  Again, I think.

Yes I still want to do the blood tests.  But I am not putting her through any more for the moment.

Bone broth is gelled (jelled?) all the way through, as is my soup stock. :)

 It's the fat that rises to the top.  I remove the fat from when I make my soup own stock, but kept it in the bone broth.
