I just have to tell everyone how I managed to be symptom-free, with no medication.
I started GAPS diet exactly on February 11 this year. It has 5 or 6 stages (I mixed the last two) on the way to the full diet. When I started with the diet I stopped taking my meds which did not help any more and I didn’t want to take steroids. It was a bit drastic, but that’s how I wanted. I had a bad die-off reaction with bleeding which stopped after approximately one month. I had to be careful with the food and introduce some foods very slowly. In the beginning I was only on bone soup, I couldn’t even have cooked carrots. When i had warm water in the morning my stomach hurt, that’s how sensitive it was.
Now I am on the full diet, just started eating salads and fruits and I have no symptoms. I even stopped taking meds for blood pressure because with this diet it got better and now it is completely normal.
I bought the book about this diet, written by Natasha Campbel McBride, and she has a web site where I actually found the introductory diet and started it.
I am definitely not saying to you to stop the meds, just to have a look at this diet, it is healing. I am going to be on it for two years for sure. I feel amazing, and just had to share this with all of you.
Regards to all
