Re: GAPS - can we move through intro quickly?

[Guest guest]

I did not do the intro diet with my son. If your son doesn't have problems with constipation or diarrhea with his current diet, I think it would be okay to skip it. However, the intro does help cleanse the body of yeast parasites.My other thought is to do a rotation diet. After 8 months on GAPS, my son became sensitive to many of the recommended foods- almond, pecan, even apples.On Aug 3, 2009, at 6:44 PM, Danila7 wrote:Anybody moved through GAPS introduction stage quickly and still successfully?We are about to start GAPS diet as soon as I complete research on how to implement correctly.

Hi- I'm new to the forum

My Doc (Dr. Cowan from CA) suggested 2-3 days on each phase for my

condition. I think 2-3-4 days on stage one is probably good enough, but I think

it's different for each person. I have been on it for four days and have

started stage 2 which I will do for 4-5 days but I cheated today with fresh

pressed carrot juice- I needed a potassium boost and couldn't eat bananas or

oranges yet.

Hope this helps.
