combine all protein food with vegetables, which the theory says will keep body acidity levels normal

Dr. Campbell-McBride encourages fermented dairy and says you can add it beginning in the introductory phase of the diet. However, it is a very wholesome and healthy diet and will allow you to lay a strong foundation for good health for life! It means that many GAPS people do not have to adhere to a special diet for the rest of their lives: Braly K, Williamson N, Shaffer ML, et al. Nutritional adequacy of the specific carbohydrate diet in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2017;65(5):533-538. doi:10.1097/MPG.0000000000001613

Following this diet could, however, improve a person’s gut health. It encourages people to eat fewer processed foods and more fruits, vegetables, and natural fats. These simple dietary changes could improve gut health and overall health.

It has been recorded that in the Middle Ages British sailing ships always had barrels of ‘sour cabbage’ on board to prevent ‘bleeding gums’ (scurvy). In those times people didn’t know about vitamin C, but they knew how to prevent its deficiency during long sailing trips. Fermented vegetables and fruit can be some of the best vitamin C ‘supplements’ in the world. Not only does this vitamin get released from the tough vegetable structure during fermentation, but so do many other nutrients.One case study reported that a 12-year-old boy with ASD and celiac disease showed significant reductions in GI symptoms and core autism symptoms after 4 weeks of probiotic treatment. There are people who need to eat more plants to feel well. And even people, who thrive on mostly animal foods, have periods when their bodies ask for more plant matter. The chapter One Man’s Meat is Another Man’s Poison in the second GAPS book (Gut And Physiology Many GAPS people have inflammation and ulcerations in their gut lining, which they may not be aware of. Your gut lining may be sore and very sensitive. GAPS Introduction Diet is very gentle; it removes fibre and any other substances, which may irritate or damage your gut and interfere with the healing process. These methods are soaking, sprouting and fermentation. Please, read the second GAPS book (Gut And Physiology Syndrome) to understand this issue fully and to learn how to prepare seeds properly. These techniques are also described in detail in The Complete Cooking Techniques for the GAPS Diet by Monica Corrado, which I warmly recommend. Human body is a wonderful creation: it has full ability to heal and maintain itself programmed into it! You must allow your body to use this divine programme. Healing begins from understanding what is going on in your body. No matter how chronic and severe your health problem may be, you must know why you are developing it and where it came from.

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride is well known for developing the concept of GAPS, which she describes in her book Gut And Psychology Syndrome – Natural Treatment for Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Depression and Schizophrenia, now in its second edition, and in her NEW BOOK, Gut And Physiology Syndrome – Natural Treatment for Allergies, Autoimmune, Arthritis, Gut Problems, Fatigue, Hormonal Problems, and Neurological Disease. The mainstream medical profession is trained to fear ketones because of a very dangerous situation, which can happen in diabetic people, called ketoacidosis. When the body starts using mostly fat for producing energy it goes into a state of physiological ketosis, which is perfectly normal and healthy and has nothing to do with diabetic ketoacidosis. Ketones (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetone) are water- soluble substances produced in the body when it uses fats for making energy. In a normal healthy state our bodies can use both glucose and fats, depending on the composition of our meals, activity level and other factors. Having ketones in the blood is normal, because fat is the preferred source of energy for most organs and tissues in the human body. Every time your body burns its own fat for energy, ketones are produced, and they can also be used for energy production. It’s recommended that you choose a probiotic containing strains from a range of bacteria, including Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria, and Bacillus subtilis varieties. Ward NI.

Microbes have an unsurpassed ability to digest plants and animal products, break down tough structures, release nutrients from these structures and create new nutrients (B vitamins and vitamin K2, for example). As a result, fermented foods have become far more nourishing for us than their raw counterparts. For example, a handful of sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) can provide almost twenty times more bio-available Eliminating artificial sweeteners: According to some animal studies, artificial sweeteners can create imbalances in gut bacteria and increase the risk of metabolic problems. As yet, no studies have examined the effects of the GAPS dietary protocol on the symptoms and behaviors associated with autism.
