Newbie with questions

[Guest guest]

Hello I am Jan and have read GAPS by Dr McBride, but it has been about a year

ago. It has taken us this long to implement the plan. We were trying other

things (such as no sugar and GF) to help with the problem of my 17 yo son. I

know his problem is minor compared to many of yours, but the thing we are trying

to remedy is an inability to concentrate. It is almost as if he looses any

perception of time. He is very slow in thought and words (if under any pressure)

and reaction time. The biggest issue is inability to focus. He didn't have this

early on in schooling. He was late to talk and walk and is said to have some LD.

Do you all feel that this diet plan will help him? I will do it with him.

He does not have diarrhea, quite the contrary. We have always had to work hard

at keeping him regular. With all of that said here are my questions:

It seems to me that the introductory diet is to stop diarrhea, do we need to do

it for our family? Giving up the dairy will be the hardest, we milk goats and

enjoy our raw goats milk.

I am at a loss of what to cook for breakfast, we are already so tired of eggs.

So what do some of you all eat?

I need a cookbook, any recommendations? I think I read about a book called the

GAPS Guidebook? Does it have recipes and menu plans?

If I were going to purchase say two books at this time, what two would you

recommend?

I am glad to have found your group. I was surprised to see how much activity

there is here. I appreciate your answering my questions. Maybe someday I will be

able to help someone in return.

Thanks,

Jan

BTW, I did search the archives to see if I could find answers to these

questions. If they have been addressed, can someone help me with which key words

to search with?
