The Ultimate Guide to Gaps Stage By Stage With Recipes: Heal Your Gut and Improve Your Health

What is the GAPS Diet?

The GAPS diet was developed by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, a neurologist and nutritionist, to treat patients with a range of health conditions associated with gut dysbiosis, such as autism, ADHD, depression, and autoimmune diseases. It focuses on healing and sealing the gut lining, restoring gut flora balance, and reducing inflammation in the body.

The diet consists of three main components: the Diet, the Full GAPS Diet, and the Maintenance Diet. These stages gradually introduce new foods while avoiding common allergens and refined carbohydrates. Each stage serves a specific purpose in the healing process.

The GAPS Diet Stages

1. Stage 1: Diet

The first stage of the GAPS diet is the most restrictive but also the most important. It is designed to quickly heal and seal the gut lining by eliminating any foods that may irritate the digestive system. During this stage, you will consume homemade meat or fish broth, boiled vegetables, and probiotic-rich foods. Here is a recipe to get you started:

Gut-Healing Chicken Broth

Ingredients:

• Whole organic chicken, preferably pasture-raised
• Filtered water
• Onion, roughly chopped
• Carrots, roughly chopped
• Celery stalks, roughly chopped
• Garlic cloves
• Sea salt and black pepper

Instructions:

1. Rinse the chicken under cold water, then place it in a large stockpot.
2. Add enough filtered water to cover the chicken completely.
3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for at least 1 hour.
4. Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic cloves, sea salt, and black pepper to the pot.
5. Continue simmering for another 2-3 hours.
6. Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool slightly, and separate the meat from the bones.
7. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.
8. Allow the broth to cool, then transfer it to airtight containers and refrigerate or freeze until needed.

During Stage 1, it is recommended to consume the broth and boiled vegetables for at least a week or until digestive symptoms improve.
