The New Phenomenal GAPS Diet Cookbook: Essential Guide With Healthy Recipes

By Christine Louise

The GAPS diet is not a weight-loss diet, but rather, a restrictive diet intended for the natural treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, and other mental health conditions. Many children with autism experience significant digestive problems, including diarrhea, constipation, and bloating. "GAPS" is an acronym for "gut and psychology syndrome." The GAPS diet was developed by Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD, a physician and author with supplemental post-graduate degrees in neurology and nutrition. When her son was diagnosed with autism, she utilized her background to develop a potential treatment through nutrition. The GAPS diet eliminates all grains, sugars, and simple starches and is based on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), which is used to treat celiac disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis,4 and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Similarly, the GAPS diet relies on homemade broths and fermented vegetables to heal damage to the gut wall, often referred to as "leaky gut syndrome."The diet itself claims to heal the gut by eliminating many foods considered to be problematic for those with mental health disorders, including grains and dairy, and by adding foods with natural probiotics. Following the GAPS diet means you'll cook almost all your own food from scratch. In many cases, you'll use homemade meat or fish stock for soups, broths, and other recipes.
