Publisher's Synopsis
GAPS stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome. It's a term that Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, who also designed the GAPS diet, invented. Her theory is that a leaky gut causes many conditions that affect your brain. Leaky gut syndrome is the term used to describe an increase in the permeability of the gut wall.The GAPS theory is that a leaky gut allows chemicals and bacteria from your food and environment to enter your blood when they wouldn't normally do so. It claims that once these foreign substances enter your blood, they can affect your brain's function and development, causing "brain fog" and conditions like autism.The GAPS protocol is designed to heal the gut, preventing toxins from entering the blood stream and lowering "toxicity" in the body. Following the recipes give you a guide and help you navigate your way through the protocol from what to add when to how long a person stays on each stage, this book answers the questions needed to properly use the protocol.
