Gaps Diet

About Gaps Diet Android App

The GAPS diet was derived from the specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) created by Dr. Sidney Valentine. SCD gained great popularity after a mother, Elaine Gottschall, healed her own child of Ulcerative Colitis and became an advocate for SCD.

Elaine Gottschall is also the author of the popular book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet. Natasha Campbell-McBride, Natasha Campbell-McBride, Natasha Campbell-McBride, Natasha Campbell-McBride, and others.

The GAPS Diet focuses on removing foods that are difficult to digest and damaging to flora and replacing them with nutrient-dense foods to give the intestinal lining a chance to heal and seal.

People with food allergies and intolerances should go through the introduction of diet in order to heal and seal their gut lining. The reason for allergies and food intolerances is so-called "leaky gut" when the gut lining is damaged by abnormal micro flora. Foods do not get the chance to be digested properly before they get absorbed through this damaged wall and cause the immune system to react to them. Many people try to identify which foods they react to.

However, they may cause an immediate reaction or delayed reaction (a day, a few days or even a couple of weeks later). As these reactions overlap with each other, you can never be sure what you are reacting to on any given day.

Testing for food allergies in notoriously unreliable: if one had enough resources to test twice a day for two weeks, they would find that they are "allergic" to everything they eat. As long as the gut wall is damaged, you can be juggling your diet forever removing different foods and never get anywhere.

From my clinical experience it is best to concentrate on healing the gut wall with the Introduction Diet. Once the gut wall is healed, the food will be digested properly before being absorbed, which will remove most food intolerances and allergies.
