Product Information

GAPS stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome, a term developed by Natasha Campbell-McBride, who holds degrees in medicine, neurology and nutrition, to describe connections between the digestive system and the brain. Focusing on fruits and vegetables: A 2016 study involving 122 people showed that eating fruits and vegetables can prevent a potentially harmful strain of bacteria from growing in the gut.

The GAPS protocol is designed to heal the gut, preventing toxins from entering the blood stream and lowering “toxicity” in the body. Autoimmune conditions have also been associated with ASD and a study published in Nutritional Neuroscience found a significant number of autism patients had elevated antibodies simultaneously to gliadin protein present in gluten-containing foods and cerebellar cortex neurons. Since the publication of the first GAPS book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome, in 2004, the GAPS concept has become a global phenomenon. If you are following the GAPS diet ("Gapsists"), this book will be your best friend in the kitchen, providing you with delicious homemade recipes that are sugar-free and starch-free, both for every day and for special occasions.

Dr Campbell-McBride does more than show us the causes of illnesses, she gives us practical ways of reversing (and preventing) the deterioration of health and offering us hope for true healing.

Similarly, studies on the effects of digestive enzymes on autism have had mixed results ( 12, 13, 14). The GAPS diet theory says that eliminating certain foods, such as grains and sugars, can help people treat conditions that affect the brain, such as autism and dyslexia. To follow the GAPS diet, eliminate grains, sugar, soy, pasteurized dairy, starchy vegetables, and processed foods from the diet.A 2022 review in Nutrients suggests that fermented foods like kefir and sauerkraut, along with probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, can help improve the gut microbiota. This book should be read by every person with a chronic degenerative disease and by every medical professional who works with these patients. 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.

Gut And Psychology Syndrome by Dr Campbell-McBride is an essential read for any person with a GAPS condition.The reasoning behind what to avoid in terms of food is based on how foods are absorbed in our digestive tract, and how the molecular structure of foods makes them either easy or difficult to break down and digest. The GAPS Stories book will present you with 52 testimonies from people all over the world who healed themselves and their children from a long list of diseases using the GAPS Nutritional Protocol.
