Here we are at the 6 month point of GAPS! Hooray! Let’s have a recap of the good, the bad, and the beautiful (because there really wasn’t anything ugly)! (Wondering what the GAPS diet is and why we started it?)

Successes:

Struggles:

Things to Try:

There are still several remedies or health-builders that I'd like to try for my family after further research.

 

Thank you to all of you who have supported me on my journey! Aside from my awesome and patient family, I've met some wonderful local food suppliers, like Prairie Pride and My Minnesota Farmer. Thank you to my health care providers, Lisa at Between the Bridges Healing Center, Sherry at True Nourishing Traditions, and Abby at New Song Wellness. Thanks to Samaritan Ministries for prayers, financial support, and encouragement for alternative treatment. Thank you to my friends Nada Foede, Andy Lynn Waltz, and Ashley Rand who have loved me with gifts of food. Thanks to INdiGo Organic and WYSIWYG for accommodating my special diet. I still have a really long road ahead, but why not celebrate the milestones on this journey!?

What's Next?

We are gearing up to start the GAPS Intro this May. I haven’t told my husband that we have to give up coffee for that...! Hopefully, he'll still be game!
