Let's Break This Down
What Has Gone Wrong and GAPS Treatment
The treatment of GAPS recognizes and acknowledges that the epidemic of chronic conditions in our modern world can be traced back to injury to our digestion system.
- Abnormal gut flora
- Abnormal digestion leads to nutritional deficiency
- Damaged gut lining leads to food intolerances (increased intestinal permeability - leaky gut)
- Toxins produced by the abnormal gut flora absorb and are disturbed around the body causing symptoms
- Detoxification system collapses
- Inflammation joins in
- Immune - Hormone - Neuro Wind-Up
- Autoimmunity
- When the brain is affected - Gut and Psychology Syndrome
- When the rest of the body is affected - Gut and Physiology Syndrome
- The TWO GAPS Syndromes always overlap!!
GAPS
Spectrum
Every GAPS person is an individual with his or her own unique constitution and individual set of circumstances. For GAPS people, healing the gut has to come first.
Other treatments, such as chelating toxic metals, anti-parasitic treatments, infrared sauna, hyperbaric oxygenation, acupuncture, naturapathic & chiropractic treatments, etc can certainly be very helpful, but without the foundation of the GAPS Nutritional Protocol, these treatments can be expensive and non-productive.
The first step is to lay a good foundation for recovery with the GAPS Nutritional Protocol.
The following represents a list of the various ways GAPS can be modified and customized based on individual needs:
- GAPS Introduction Diet
- Full GAPS Diet
- No-Plant GAPS
- Ketogenic GAPS Diet
- More-Plant GAPS Diet
- GAPS Fasting
