What is the GAPS Diet?

The GAPS diet stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome. It was created by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, who cured her own son of autism. Dr. Natasha wrote the book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome: Natural Treatment for Autism, Dyspraxia, A.D.D., Dyslexia, A.D.H.D., Depression, Schizophrenia.

GAPS is a diet that helps people heal from digestive disorders, food allergies, as well as a host of physical, mental and emotional problems.

On the GAPS Diet, you are allowed meat, eggs, fats, non-starchy vegetables, bone broths (chicken, beef and fish stock), and organ meats. The GAPS Diet also includes lots of fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sour cream, and naturally fermented sauerkraut. Dairy is restricted at first, and then slowly introduced (most people find that they can overcome dairy allergies).

Did you see much healing being on the gaps only 9 months?! That just doesn’t seem like enough time, but I know everyone’s bodies are different.

cheeseslave February 28, 2012 at 8:43 AM: Dr. Natasha says the average time for healing on the GAPS Diet is anywhere from 6 months to 3 years.

Thanks for the resource. We don’t eat only GAPS, but we love the variety it adds to our diet.

I’m having to leave GAPS due to thyroid issues/IBS. Based on http://www.helpforibs.com, I’m needing to eat soluble fiber before each meal (oatmeal, bread, squash, avacado, banana, etc.). I seem to have developed gut issues after being too low carb on GAPS. I’m wondering if GAPS is the only method you know of for curing IBS. I love the recipes and the food but our drains are plugged from my hair falling out. : ) Also, does increasing carbs help hypothroidism or do you recommend a thyroid supplement in addition?
