A GAPS Update: Whereby We Confess That We Sorta Fell Off the Wagon
It happened fast. We had been on GAPS for about 2.5 months, and then BAM! It hit us like a mack truck. The cravings, the inability to resist, the belief that it would be so worth it.... The last couple of weeks have been… guilt-inducing. A few weeks ago, we had tea with our landlady … [Read more...] about A GAPS Update: Whereby We Confess That We Sorta Fell Off the Wagon

GAPS Intro Diet, Day 4: Surviving Die-Off
It's day four of our family being on the GAP Diet (Intro). I can honestly say it's been a bit tumultuous. I was ill-prepared for the amount of die-off (where the bad bacteria that is overgrown in your gut begins to starve and die off) that would occur.
