New Member Intro

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this group and this is my first post. I got my GAPS book in the mail

yesterday. I'd been reading on the Gut and Psychology website so had an idea

about how this will work. I fluctuate between being very excited to begin this

life changing program of recovering my health, and being completely daunted by

the enormity of change it will entail. I have no choice, really, and know I have

to do this for my health. I was happy to find this group and look forward

to connecting with others.

Today I made contact with a local organic farm where I can get my beef bones for

stock, also free range chickens, eggs, turkeys, etc. This was a big hurdle for

me..I'd nbeen contacting my local grocery stores and smaller markets, but hadn't

had good luck until I googled organic beef in Maine. I als found the perfect,

very large , stainless steel stockpot, and have found a local dairy farm with

organic raw milk and cream that I can use for my yogurt. I've researched

homemade yogurt online and found a couple of methods that will work well for me.

I figure it will take me about a month to make and freeze my stocks and soups

and then I'll be ready to start. Also to practice my yogurt making and fermented

veggie making, mail order my pro-biotic, etc. It will be nice that all the local

organic veggies will be coming into season at the farmers markets. I'll have to

do the more difficult introductory plan for the first 6 weeks..so want to have

all my broths, etc ready in case of the detox symptoms I am expecting.

So...don't want to go one forever..I look forward to meeting people here and

hearing how the food plans are working. I am expecting challenges..and look

forward to a support group for help.

Thanks for accepting my membership and I look forward to meeting you.
