Some things got better temporarily, but some things got worse and we even developed some new problems while on GAPS. Considering how much work it was to be on GAPS, I was very frustrated by the end of it to find that it didn't cure us of the things we were expecting. So I don't actually recommend the GAPS Diet to others, based on our experiences. You can read more about that here: http://nourishedandnurtured.blogspot.com/2013/05/was-gaps-diet-worth-it_5.html<br /><br />That being said, there are some links in this old post about sites that provide the information about what is GAPS-legal. http://nourishedandnurtured.blogspot.com/2011/06/online-gaps-resources.html<br /><br />I've written some about my conclusion that diet alone does not "cure" us of our health issues; whereas diet can lead to temporary improvements, over time diet seems like a dead-end for achieving long-term cumulative health improvements for chronic issues. http://nourishedandnurtured.blogspot.com/2015/03/can-perfect-diet-lead-to-perfect-health.html<br />Sarah Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348347054374584427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-25859683618931642432015-08-18T20:19:44.484-06:002015-08-18T20:19:44.484-06:00Hi Sarah, this comment does not relate to your del...Hi Sarah, this comment does not relate to your delicious recipe (I know it is because I have tried so many of your cooking and never once was disappointed). I have read many articles and suggestions on your web in regards to the Gaps diet. I wanted to get your suggestion. I am a mom of 3 boys, one is just 2 months old. I don't think I will EVER stop making babies because the minute I stop nursing my child or my milk decreases due to him eating solids, I get pregnant. How can I ever go on the GAPS diet then? I have thyroid autoimmune disease, I have a damaged liver, allergies to all dairy and other stuff I have no idea of (based on my strange reactions to random things). I grew up on raw dairy and now ..): I really do want to heal my body but it is just not working. I am totally grain free. I do not eat processed food, I make everything myself. I eat fermented things, soups, you name it. Here is my question for you, would you suggest me going on a full gaps diet while nursing my little guy? If not, would you suggest I start taking probiotics in addition to all I am doing so far? I just don't know if all I am doing is pointless. I drink cod liver oil but don't eat any butter. I stay away from grain but I don't know if I am healing myself because I didnt start with step 1. <br />Odd question: Where did you get the most accurate list of what is acceptable on Gaps? I read some contradicting things and just not sure.
