GAPS

Powerful Detox with GAPS or SCD Intro Diets

We’ve been on the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome diet) / SCD (Specific Carbohydrate diet) for the past year and a half and have experienced incredible healing. My man used to have terrible asthma attacks that were degenerating into panic attacks in the months before we started the diet. I was having terrible digestive issues and since I have a poor liver from getting hepatitis A as a child my body was having a terrible time removing toxins. Despite being on the Weston A. Price diet and eating heaps of bone broths, I degenerated to having cyclical vomiting bouts every 7 – 10 days. Which seemed to be the only way my body was able to reduce my toxic overload.

Craniosacral Therapy and the GAPS Diet

Craniosacral Therapy and the GAPS Diet

The main pillars for healing my body the past couple years, have been the GAPS diet (with raw milk) and Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy (with Qi gong).

Almond Petit Fours

Almond Petit Fours

This is a delicious and simple, colorful treat for a mid-afternoon high-tea or a late night dessert. When I was preparing the petit fours for this photo shoot, a friend kept eating them almost as fast as I could put them on the tray. They're irresistible, unless you have a nut allergy. 1/2 ...

Intestinal Healing with the GAPS diet

Although we've been on the GAPS diet for a year an a half now and are so much more healthier than we have been in years, I just realised I haven't posted a basic explanation of what the diet is, and what it is specifically used for.

Local/Global – Start With Your Cells

Local/Global – Start With Your Cells

Spring is a period of transition and this spring has been especially full of changes in my neck of the woods. I attribute it mainly to craniosacral therapy and the GAPS diet which we have been on for over a year now. The past couple weeks we ran out of probiotics (we take biokult twice a day) and ha ...

Grain-Free Tuesdays

Grain-Free Tuesdays

A couple months ago I did a post called GAPS/SCD Recipe Roundup. My idea was to do it once a month every full moon. I discovered in the process it is best to do a bloghop once a week on a regular basis, so this has resulted in Grain-Free Tuesdays. I have discovered there are lots of excellent recipe ...

A Year on the GAPS Diet

I was recently looking at some of my first posts about the GAPS diet and realized...it's been a year! I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. So let me see if I can manage to say something coherent about our experiences over this past year. I still feel that my gut needs to do some serious ...
