A couple days ago I got two different hydrolyzed gelatin products; the green can from great lakes and a jug of custom collagen.
Over a three day span I started with the GL and ramped the amount from 2 tablespoons a day to 6 with no issues.
One night I tried the custom collagen powder (2 tbs) When I woke up the next day my entire face was puffy and bloated and I had no energy. When I made my coffee that morning and for at work I used the GL instead.
When I got home I noticed in the mirror that I had a ton of acne on my nose and mouth and weird bumps all along my hair line.When I rubbed my hair a lot fell out. I had deep lines on both sides of my face running from my nose outward. I have had great skin after a couple weeks of following Dr. Peat's dietary advice and also using Estroban and Solban as well as aspirin so I was pretty angry when this issue resurfaced.
The only change I had made to my routine that week was trying the hydrolyzed collagen/gelatin.
I think that the custom collagen caused an allergic reaction and that now i may be reacting to the great lakes product because of it. The dose (6 tbs a day) may have also caused an issue.
I am going to stop taking both for the time being until things clear up. After awhile I am going to slowly try the great lakes again and see if the dosage was an issue.
I wanted to post this to see is anyone has had similar experiences, or if someone runs into similar issues to know that someone else did to. I'll update when I find out more
