Average time is 1-3 years, depending on severity of symptoms (things like autism take longer to heal, and in my family's experience it also takes longer to heal for grown-ups than kids). For probiotics, it is best to have lots of different strains. For instance, Bio-Kult (which was designed by the Dr who developed GAPS) contains 8 different probiotic strains.

My interest is from the medical side of things. I have worked as a pediatric registered nurse for 17 years and now I have my son that is 15 months old. We eat very healthy whole food based diet and we alkalize daily. My question is with the GAP theory should you live that diet for life or is it more for if you have symptoms. Also if I give probiotics to my son what strains should I look for .What I have now has bacillus coagulens 600 million cfu's. Im not sure what to look for as Im new to those as well.

I topped the frosted cake with some fresh sliced strawberries, and baked it for a total of 60 minutes at 325. I don't know if it's our altitude here in Utah, but with coconut flour goods, I always have to bake them longer, and no hotter than 350 to avoid over-browning.Laurie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631139658218478694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-37193180777757821642012-04-03T13:19:57.828-06:002012-04-03T13:19:57.828-06:00Oh, in case you are curious, we didn't eat any...Oh, in case you are curious, we didn't eat any cocoa for the first few months of GAPS, but then we started having it occasionally and have had no problems with it.Sarah Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348347054374584427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-55159339427309998102012-04-03T13:18:50.712-06:002012-04-03T13:18:50.712-06:00Hi Caroline,
Here is what the GAPS FAQ says about ...Hi Caroline,<br />Here is what the GAPS FAQ says about cocoa:<br />"Cocoa is SCD illegal. However, I find that many people can start having it occasionally on the Full GAPS Diet, once the digestive symptoms are gone. Find pure organic cocoa powder. Mixing the powder with some honey and sour cream makes a delicious dessert, and you can add it to your homemade ice cream or cakes. After trying it for the first time, observe your patient for any reactions. Cocoa is very rich in magnesium and some essential amino acids and, unless your digestive system is not ready for it, there is no need to avoid it."<br /><br />I hope this helps!!Sarah Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348347054374584427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-74807509495373342172012-04-03T12:58:10.938-06:002012-04-03T12:58:10.938-06:00Hi,

My husband and I just started GAPS and he's a chocoholic but I read on the list that chocolate isn't allowed, it has a 'see FAQ' regarding cocoa powder but I haven't been able to find the related info on the site. <br /><br />Is alkaline free cocoa powder permitted in GAPS? Just wanted to be sure. I saw this post had a GAPS-legal label but I was just a bit paranoid. Yet hopeful because my husband is a total chocoholic :) <br /><br />Thanks in advance!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210330414199032297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-43462174806574759372012-03-27T07:15:30.005-06:002012-03-27T07:15:30.005-06:00This looks so yummy!
