GAPS diet – 40

GAPS is the abbreviation for The gut and psychology syndrome diet. It’s an elimination meal plan developed by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. She believes that inadequate feeding and a leaking gut, or increased intestinal permeability, are to blame for a wide range of neurological, psychiatric, and behavioral problems.

The idea is that avoiding specific foods can benefit patients with brain problems like autism and dyslexia. When on this meal plan, you can eat foods like fermented foods and beverages, coconut and its products, kefir, white navy beans, etc. Foods to avoid include milk, grains such as rice, sugar and artificial sweeteners, fermented foods, and beverages.
