Re:GAPS - can we move through intro quickly?

[Guest guest]

It’s important to go slow. Of course, it’s all

relative to the individual. The first stage is no longer than a week. The

next stages are variable depending on the person. It’s a healing diet

and healing takes time. Did you read the books Gut and Psychology Syndrome and

the GAPS Guide? Great info.

We’re going on to Stage 4, BTW. I think we’re

on Day 40? Just to give you an idea. . .

I am finishing up the book, shoul dbe done today. I am afraid that my son will

be hungry on first few stages. He loves fruits, I don't know how I'll be able to

exclude fruit until we get to the stage where it's permitted. I guess I just

have to try. I told him that we'll need to try a few diet adjustemnt because his

allergies are getting worse. He's been so good about his GF diet, never

complains. Now he got scared for some reason. He teared up and wispered to me

" Do I have cancer? " . Poor thing. Removing apples for any period of time will be

difficult

Perhaps transition to the GAPS Intro instead of going into it full force. Take

the next couple of weeks to phase out fruit so it isn't a shock when his snack

is carrots instead of apples .

Also, what helped us: exciting and new plates, bowls, straw-cups (especially

good for broth/soups), snack cups. And for the first few days we didn't eat in

the kitchen (our usual spot) and instead we ate picnic style in the living room,

at the dining room table, outside--it changed up the routine just enough to take

the focus off the food! I 'invested' in straws, which the kids loved for their

pureed soups. Get creative. Other parents have packed stews in thermoses and

spent the day hiking. . .shifting from food-based to activity-based fun.

Slow is better! You could do full gaps for a while (which contains fruit)

before the intro. Other parents have never done the intro and have experienced

healing with their children. It takes longer, but it's more gentle.

Hope this helps!!!
