The diet you are describing -- "peat" diet, with Milk and OJ and gelatin -- is literally impossible for me to handle without severe gastrointestinal problems. I have researched this for a while and finally decided to give up on trying because the milk and OJ combination, for example, makes me plain sick. Also gelatin in coffee and milk and so on gives me something like the stomach flu.
I think it takes a *while* for your digestion to adjust to the MegaPeat eating plan if you have any digestion problems to begin with and you're not in some kind of competition to have the Peaty-est diet anyway.
I'm going to suggest stopping the OJ and the milk. Eat cheese and add some sweet fruits if you need the calories. You can make paneer pretty easily -- that does not upset my stomach anywhere near as badly.
Also instead of the gelatin try bone broth. Put some neck bones in a slowcooker with a little salt, sugar, and whatever non-allergenic veggies you can tolerate ( potato, carrot) with water and season it to your taste. Then just keep adding water and letting it come to a boil.
Anyway that is my suggestion. I think for people with compromised digestion it is all too much at first. The most important issues at first are the avoidance of poisonous grains, PUFA, and the addition of progesterone.
