Hi,
Sorry, just remembered that I had another question….I tried making sauerkraut last week, but the liquid in it has gone brown? It doesnt look mouldy or anything and it smells sour (havent be brave enough to try it yet). Just wondering if that could be because I put a metallic lid on the container (which I think I’m not supposed to do?)? Or have a done something wrong with it?
Thanks,
Vanessa
Dear Vanessa, so sorry to hear about your sauerkraut! You Will have to throw it out. Kraut should not be brown. You are right in your guess about the metal. I use an extra large ziplock bag filled with saltwater as weight. I then put the lid on the pail and leave it for a month. I use a baseball bat to pound each layer as I add the cabbage and pink salt. I also add caraway seed but that is just a German preference. You can double up the ziplock if you are worried about leaking, but I never had a problem. I just made my first batch and it is wonderful! Everyone wants some but I have to explain I need it for my diet and will make lots in the fall when cabbage is at its best and cheapest. I use a food grade plastic pail as crocks are impossible to find and afford. You can contact me if you like
Good luck!
Hi, I’m wondering what kind/brand of almond or coconut milks do you recommend. I’m sure some must be better than others…
thank you much for all your good work!
Hi Sarah, I use either Natural Forest (I think- it’s the bpa free one but has gaur gum) or Natural Value Natural (no guar gum but bpa). I’ve heard there is a BPA free gum free one in tetra packs (the waxy cardboard juice box type stuff) but I haven’t seen it locally and haven’t had time to research it online yet. Hope that helps :)
The coconut milk in the cardboard package (no gums or BPA) is ‘Let’s Do Organic.’ My local health food store didn’t carry it on the shelves but they ordered me a case. Yum!
Hi
Is maple syrup allowed with the gaps diet??? I thought it would be only honey! How come some recipes contain maple syrup, what makes it different to white sugar????
Gabi
Hi Gabi,
Raw Honey and Organic Maple syrup are different from sugar because they do not need to rob nutrients from your body to digest themselves. Sugar on the other hand does. It has no nutritional value and therefore has to rob you of nutrients to be digested. That is why your immune system is compromised every time you eat processed sugar. Raw Honey and Maple Syrup(grade B, if possible, less processed) have minerals and enzymes that are beneficial to you let alone taste wonderful!

Dear Cara,
I recently read your post regarding B12 as folate and being tongue-tied, which both of my girls were. I’m pregnant again and want to try your recommended brand from Amazon for myself and my girls. However, the links in your post are to the exact same product, same dosages. I think this must be an error. Would you be so kind as to send the correct links to my email?
Thank you.
Brooke
Cara,
First of all, thank you so much for your work on this site!!! It has helped me countless times in my efforts to help my son. I am curious if you have come across the idea in the autistic community that autism is a biological difference and the whole of the person, so much a part of their identity that you cannot cure it. An autistic person told me that he wouldn’t want to be cured because then he wouldn’t be the same person. As a parent, especially after reading the GAPS book, I am of a completely different approach and opinion. My son has a gene deletion for autism. He shares some of the basic personality traits of an autistic person. For example, he excels in music, loves repetition, can be somewhat fixated on an object (but he is 2 1/2), and can avoid eye contact initially when told to say goodbye to someone. If he initiates it, then he loves eye contact. Anyway, all that to say, I am wondering if you have encountered this idea that parents and autistic people are being told? How would you respond to someone like that? He was all for helping someone with negative symptoms. But he didn’t like the idea of changing who he is.
Hi, I ordered your book What Can I Eat Now but never received the download file.
Hi, I was looking at your sample of the 30 days on the GAPS intro, and I didn’t always see 3 meals a day. Is that just something I would supplement in?
I would like to buy the books in the beautiful binders. Is that an option? If so, I can’t find it.
Hi Cara
I am about to buy your book to begin the GAPS intro.
Just so I am prepared after the 30 days do you have recommendations or a book to take the diet to the next step?
Regards
I have a LO allergic to nuts and we are beginning the GAPS diet. There are so many wonderful baking recipes that call for almond flour. Do you recommend another flour in replace? possibly oats? Can you even have oat flour on GAPS diet? I know coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture and would require more eggs.
You can use coconut :) Oat isn’t allowed on GAPS.
Hi Cara,I purchased your ‘What Can I eat Now’ yesterday while on my ipad and cannot find the download email for my computer anywhere. Can you help me.
Thanks,
Robyn
Hi Cara
I just purchased “What Can I Eat Now?” PDF and noticed the table of contents doesn’t fully match the contents. I’m missing “Transferring to the Full GAPS Diet” and “FAQs” sections. Is my book incomplete?
Hi, i was hoping to sign up for the newsletter but can’t figure out how to. thanks!
Hi Cara,
I’m interested in getting your ebook “The Empowered Mother”. I would like to research various issues during my pregnancy, plus I need to decide whether to do a home birth or go to the hospital. I am 18 weeks along in my pregnancy. I noticed that the ebook comes in weekly portions to our email, if I’m understanding that correctly. I am concerned that I wouldn’t have access to all the information that I need to make my decision soon enough. Can I read through the book at my own pace? Thanks.
Hi Candace, I need to clarify :) You get all 42 weeks at once, in e-book format. Hope that helps!
Hi Cara!
I have a 13 year old son with Autism. He has been gluten/Casein/soy free since he was 5. The diet was helpful, but he is in grade 7, reading at a grade 1 level. I know that diet is everything and I can reverse his autism. I recently took him to a naturopath who tested his nervous system to see what foods were bothering him. He told me to feed him like people used to eat 100 years ago…chicken. turkey, beef (with no additives), lots of dark green veggies, noodles, potatoes and rice. Today I came across the GAP cookbook while visiting with a friend. I am pretty sure that my son has a leaky gut and would love to try this, but now I am confused. If I start this diet can he eat dairy again, wheat? The naturopath said he could have noodles and rice, but the GAP diet says no to this. Do you have any advice for me? I don’t want to waste any more time as he is already 13.
I found your article on folic acid, and then found this:
http://womenshealth.gov/publications/our-publications/fact-sheet/folic-acid.html
It says the exact opposite of what you said and it’s from the grand ol government.
Interested in working in Washington? Millions are being mislead.
How do I know what to believe?
Thanks, Holly.
It’s not exactly the opposite of what I said, they do say that folic acid is the man made form of folate, which is true. If people don’t absorb folic acid well, they absorb folate better. If they absorb folic acid fine, they also will absorb folate. I would go with folate for this reason, but it’s your choice.
Hi Cara, you had replied to an e-mail I sent you about my 9 year old son with Sensory Seeking visual issues. I had told you that it affected him in a negative way such as making his eyes cross and causing him to forget and even refuse to use the bathroom when he does it.
I tried to open your comment on facebook but it only took me to your video again. I can’t find you comment here either. Could you please send your comment to my email address? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Hi Christina, I recommended the Sonrise program :) https://healthhomehappy.leadpages.net/simple-sensory-solutions-free-/
Hello Cara,
I just came across your site after getting the results of an IgG test which showed I was having an immune response to all but 5 of the 92 foods! My doctor believes this is due to leaky gut. I am curious about the GAPS diet and want to heal my gut. I have been dealing with pain (joint, muscle, etc…) for a while due to inflammation and was looking at each individual part as the root instead of the holistic center: the gut. While the diet is intriguing, I am a vegetarian. I would be open to adding salmon, but will not do other meats. I was also wondering if and when coconut would be allowed in the intro. I will be traveling for an extended amount of time come July and so I need to do all I can between now and then to heal. Thank you for the work you have done on this site. There is a wealth of information.
Hi Cara, We have been doing GAPS for quite a while, but never did intro. We are now doing intro and after 8 days my 4 year old is noticably losing weight, is this common? He is not the one with mild autism symptoms, that is my 5 yr. old, but I am doing it with him as a detox and dairy allergy. He eats A LOT. And a lot of squash. The others are losing too, but not like him. We are somewhat following your How to eat for 30 days intro and we are stuck on stage 3. I now wish we would have done intro way sooner than now, but WOW is it a lot of work and a lot of money.
Thanks,
Chris
I have Candida and i have done the Candida diet for almost a year and it seems the last three months it has stopped working. Will the GAP diet work. I have read about we need some fungus but not a over growth. I also see on some of the recipes there are some things forbidden on the candida diet such mushrooms (they have mold), sweets, which feed the fungus.
Hello Cara does this work for Candida and I am living in Canada organic is costly I am on a really tight budget and want to get healthy do you have any suggestions?Thanks
Hei, like very much your recipes. My question is with your meals my son can gain weight.
Im thinking to buy to month of your meals and see how it goes, but I really need that my kid can have a meal that is going to make him have more weight. Im searching all around were I can find the best meals for him. He has brain injured and his weight is very low. Om not sure if is better to buy the freezer meals of monthly of your meals. What you recommend me best.
thanks.
I loved your folic acid article. I have MTHFR and suspect that my son has it. He’s deathly afraid of needles, so I was thinking about trying folate supplementation for him to see if we would see improvement in his anxiety. I’m having difficulty finding a recommended dosage for children. You mentioned the brand you use in your article, but the link for your children and for you went to the same product. Do you all take the same amount?
Thank you!
Krista
Hi Cara,
My sweet little 11 week old has been spitting up a lot since he was born. He seems to fuss a little less with dairy, red meat and eggs out of my diet (groan), but I’d love to try the acidophilus you mentioned when you wrote about the Biokult. How do you give it to your baby?
Jacki
Hi Cara, I already get your e-mails and love your articles. My son is autistic and we are about to start GAPS. I am feeling pretty nervous though. It seems almost impossible to do with the lifestyle we currently lead. And my husband refuses to give up his high carb diet. Do I need to sign up again to get the checklist to detoxify our home? I wouldn’t want to receive two different e-mails with the same info.
Thanks!
Myna
Hello Cara,
I have purchased some of your meal plans in the past and what do I eat now 30 day intro book. I was slowly building up a collections of the meal plans and had gotten fall and winters meal plans this past winter. Was waiting for spring and summer to get the other ones. I see how you order them has changed now :( I was able to afford the $16 here or there but now it’s a $10 a month deal? Is there any way to go back to the option of purchasing Spring 1 Spring 2 or summer 1 Summer 2 or others???
Thank you for your time!
Heather
Hi Heather, you can get a refund for anything you’ve purchased within 30 days, just email me – [email protected] and then you can sign up if you’d like :)
hi Cara,
Sally Fallon Morell would like a physical address for you
could you please send it to me ?
thanks
Liz
I wanted to print your recipe, but you don’t have a choice to print. You just have Facebook and e-mail, etc.
Most websites that offer recipes have a Print choice so you can print the recipe.
Cara- Sorry to bother with such a simple question, but…
How long can I keep Whey in the refrigerator? Can it be frozen?
Thanks for taking time to respond.
Hi,
We are about to start GAPS intro and I have been using your What Can I Eat Now e-book. I noticed you mentioned that your daughter took digestive enzymes through the intro portion of the diet. Could you please provide which ones? Was it the Betaine HCl with Pepsin that is mentioned in the GAPS book?
Thank you,
Annie
I am at the beginning of my journey investigating GAPS. I have a nut free household as my son is allergic. Will I find enough recipes in your plan that are nut free?
Thanks,
Kate
Dear Cara.
This is Melanie Bauer. I purchased your e-book. I downloaded it but it would not print. I kept trying to get it to print and then my time expired. It shows up as a download but I cannot print it. What do I do? I want to get started on the GAPS diet but I can’t print your e-book.
hi,
i purchased the ebook What Can I Eat Now? 30 Days on the GAPS Intro Diet
Item Number 934808 on the 24th june but i dont know where to get the download and there is no email has come. i am very concerned as my paypal account has been debited the ful 20 dollars.
please contact me with instructions on how to download my purchase?
thanks
Esther Marshall
Hi Cara,
I purchased and downloaded your “What Can I eat Now?” And have lost the information since my computer crashed. I had the info stored on my desktop. Is it possible for you to resend as we are going to do the Gaps intro again with our granddaughter and the recipes were so helpful.
Thanks much!
Hi Cara
I have just purchased your intro Ebook . The email to download the Ebook has not been sent to my hotmail so therefore may have gone to my paypal email address. When trying to access the paypal address I am being told that the address has been deactivated. Is it possible to get the link emailed to my hotmail account?
Many thanks
Carly
Hi. We just ordered your ebook for,the 30 day intro gaps diet. Since i purchased it i have been researching my gaps questions on-line and have found conflicting information to that in the ebook. For example, on the gaps website i saw that it says to cook chicken stock for 2.5-3 hrs. In your book it says 8. Also, when i made sauerkraut it said in the ebook to put the cabbage in jars and sea salt on top- then shake to mix the salt around. The salt stuck to,the cabbage on top and didn’t disperse. I didn’t see a recipe for fermented fish inthe ebook- not sure what this means. Would you be able to refund me for the ebook because i unfortunately haven’t found it helpful.
Thank you,
Sara
Dear Cara,
I’m sitting here with your cook book for which I am so grateful- we have found 1 item we can add from it.
In the breakfast category it is rough. I was happy to add eggs, but being on a gluten free, dairy free diet with all the children meant my son developed allergies to bananas, almond flour, and strawberries which still ruled out most of your breakfast recipes.
WE WERE SO HAPPY THOUGH TO GET YOUR COCONUT FLOUR WAFFLES AS A BREAKFAST ITEM.
Hi! I was referred to you by Kelly Smith. I have a son who is autistic. He is a super picky eater. He pretty much eats the same thing every day. Cheerios in the morning, Peanut Butter and honey sandwich for lunch and chicken nuggets for dinner. He is very particular about the bread used for his sandwiches. We get our bread straight from Great Harvest Bakery. They dont use sugars to sweeten their bread, just honey. The chicken nuggets are difficult as they dont sell the ones he likes here in Minnesota. We just moved from California. I was talking to a friend who has two boys who are autistic and one of them was picky as well. She put them on the GAPS diet and I am interested in doing this but not sure where to start. I dont really have a kitchen right now as we are living in the basement of my husbands aunt and uncle. Please let me know your thoughts.
Dear Cara
I have recently found your wonderful site and I am interested in buying your grain free menu plans. I am keen to subscribe soon to make use of the $10/month offer that is on until 6 Aug. However, I have 2 questions:
1. we live in South Africa and I want to know whether I will receive summer menu’s in our winter months and visa versa. Can you pls let me know if there is an option to avoid this from happening if I subscribe?
2. Secondly, if I subscribe today, will I be bound for the next 12 months or is there a way to stop the subscription should the menus not really work for us. I ask this because ingredients and food tastes sometimes varies so much between countries / cultures that the menu may not be so useful once I have a good look at it.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Coreen
Hi Cara,
I think I am starting GAPS soon with my family because our 4 year old has PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections). I know you are not a doctor and so you cannot “prescribe” diets per say, but I’m wondering if you have had many families trying to help their PANDAS child through a GAPS diet and if they have had success?
thanks,
Mary
Hi, I’ve tried multiple times to purchase the 30 day intro and every time it reads an error. I’m really anxious to start GAPS and was referred here by a friend. Help please!!!!
I was wondering what you use for toothpaste for you and your family. Also, what is your laundry soap
you use for your family? I know these two things are important for gut healing?
Thank you
Hi Cara! First of all, I just want to say how thankful I am to have found your bog. Thank you for sharing so much valuable information! I just got done watching your MTHFR webinar. Thank you for explaining this topic simply as well as in depth! I would like to start my kiddos on the active B12 Lozenges. How much should I start them out on and how much would be the max dose? Thanks!
Hi Cara,
You are just so amazing! To be able to do all you have done with GAPS and your website, ebooks, etc. while raising two small children (while dealing with one who was ill!) is just unfathomable to me. Your 30-day recipe program helped me so much while getting started with GAPS, and I so appreciate how organized and simple you kept everything, even demystifying how to make fermented vegetables, which I’d always viewed with great trepidation. So thank you SO VERY MUCH for all your wonderful work!
Hi Cara! I have purchased your 30 Day intro guidebook and read the GAPS book. I have a question that I cannot seem to find the answer to.
My son tested sensitive to several things in your intro diet, namely, whey, ginger, honey, onion and yellow squash. The answer seems obvious, but should I avoid these foods? The reason I ask is because of some comments that Dr. Natasha made about how inaccurate sensitivity testing is and that any given day a patient could test sensitive for whatever they have recently eaten because of your leaky gut. So, if these foods help seal the gut lining, is it ok for him to eat? Assuming we watch for reactions? I’d be grateful for any ideas of suggestions you might have!!
Blessings,
Lesli
I would like to hear some comments regarding sticking to the GAPS diet whilst travelling. I will be on a train for three days and am thinking the dining car, although of good culinary repute, is too expensive. What kind of satisfying, non-refrigeratable foods does everyone else bring? There will be two stops near grocery stores, but the train might not be there when these stores are open. Anyone?
Hi Cara,
I am grateful for you and the time you spend to enrich the lives of your family and lots of other families too. I have really learned a lot from you and want to encourage you to continue on! Happy thanksgiving!!
Me and my boyfriend need some coaching. Do you do online coaching for a price? We need motivation for a week or so until we can do it on or own?
I’m going to see about offering that in 2016
I was trying to look for a link to archived posts or a search function to see if you had posted anything previously about how to keep your kids on GAPS when they are at school. I know that kids can get into the trading business when they have something someone else likes and someone else has what they like, etc. I am about to put my daughter into school for the first time (I tried homeschooling her this semester and it was a failure – another story for another time). We are not on GAPS yet, but it is my goal to work our way into it sometime in 2016. I just don’t know what to expect and how to make sure she eats her food and her food only. We live in Texas, so I don’t know if that will make a difference.
Thanks!! I really love your blog. I went through and deleted all my blog subscriptions a while ago, but I just could delete yours. You have really valuable and helpful information here. Thank you for doing this!
Hi Cara,
You had an article about amino acids, but I can’t find it. I have been trying different ones and want to have my kids tested, but I was going to get the one you tried. I can’t find your search engine.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Chris, it’s here :) http://www.healthhomeandhappiness.com/amino-acids-for-autism-and-general-moods.html
My son is 10 with a diagnosis of Aspergers. Id like to do GAPS but he only eats a limited range of foods because the textures and smells of many foods are repulsive to him. He won’t eat any wet foods so broths, soups and stews etc are out; brown rice or noodles have to be patted bone dry! All food has to be separate on the plate. He doesn’t eat any dairy products kefir would be out. What he does eat is salmon, chicken, peas, raw carrot, broccoli, apples, potatoes, eggs, sweetcorn, oat cereal plus chocolate, cookies, potato crisps. Like many people with aspergers he has a history of tummy problems/reflux as a baby and sometimes now. I’m sure he would benefit from healing of his gut but I can’t see how ge would eat the healing foods? Have you any suggestions. Thanks
Hi Chris, have you seen this article? https://healthhomeandhappiness.com/my-child-needs-gaps-but-wont-even-touch-that-kind-of-food-how-to-get-kids-with-sensory-issues-on-the-gaps-diet.html
We started GAPS a few months back and I was thrilled to find your website! I purchased one month of Autumn recipes at that time. I can’t see that it is an option to purchase just one month anymore. Have you removed that as an option or am I just missing it somehow?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Cara! I’ve been on the GAPS diet for 2 years now and have come back often to explore your site and learn more about health and healing through food. Thank you for all of your work you do to help people live more fulfilling lives! Everyone’s journey is unique–and often difficult–but your resources and encouragement are priceless:) I also started a blog not too long ago to post GAPS diet recipes to give people more opportunities to find delicious foods. You’ve done such a good job getting your site out into the GAPS community, I wondered if you had any tips for getting my site known to people on GAPS so they can use the recipes I’ve posted too. Any advice you’d have would be so appreciated! Thanks for all you do! –Amy at EverydayWholeHearted.com
Cara,
Where can I update my credit card information?
Good morning!
I have not yet started my journey bc I know the comment it will require. So finding your website gives me hope!!
I am a homemaker…homeschoolinhmother of 4 boys! Anywhere that I can cut corners with cooking makes life easier! With that being said, can I just purchased stock and fermented veggies from the store or I have to make my own?
Proofreading is so important!! Lol! The 1st paragraph , should say “I haven’t started the journey yet bc I know the “commitment” it will require…”
Hi Cara,
We are in the process of having everyone tested for food allergies. My little guy just has finished up being tested but waiting on everyone else still. He is allergic to everything: beef, chicken, pork, egg whites, dairy, all grains but rice, all nuts, potatoes, there was not a clear reading on banana, strawberries, avocados, coconut, tomatoes, onions, and sesames. They didn’t do testing on fish due to it being so smelly nor did they test on lamb, buffalo or the different kinda of eggs (duck, turkey).
I kinds remember reading something about if someone was allergic all of this how to go about things. Will this still work for him/us? He does have some other issues, sensory input and they think high functioning autistic.
A couple of summers ago I did purchase your ebook What Can I Eat Now.
It really hit me this morning how limited I feel when I went to make breakfast for my little guy this morning and didn’t know what to make.
Thank you for any help and insight that you can give to me.
Angie
Hi Cara – First, let me thank you for your wonderful blog. I’ve been subscribing for 5 years now and it keeps getting better! Secondly, I have a question. I remember you mentioning in a pod cast(which one I can’t remember) how you first tried gluten/dairy free with your daughter and had enormous success for a short time and then she reverted so you tried GAPS. My husband had a similar experience with his asthma and gluten/dairy free and I’m trying to convince him to go full GAPS. I’d love a link to the podcast or some more info on why there is a temporary cure on gluten/dairy free and then a relapse. Thanks again and keep up your wonderful work!
I signed up for your monthly meal plans and cant seem to sign in due to the wrong password…but anytime I try to request an email to reset it, it never shows up in my email (I even check the junk folder)….can you help please?
hello cara,
I will like to start the diet gaps for my 3 sons but they are rhesus A + and they are autistic (3 sons).
I’m afraid to give them too much animal protein they can not digest ( transform proteins into amino acid)
I know that autistic children have problems of acidity of the stomach and therefore they have no enzimes necessary to transform the protein into amino acid
Hi Dalalia, I don’t eat by blood type- I’m not really sold on their science. Lots of children with autism have thrived on the GAPS diet.
Hi Cara! I just got from you a spécial discount for Orly $10/month for Grain free Meal Plan. I would like it very Much and would like to use my crédit card Without PayPal , Is it possible?
Hi, it is possible- there is an option to use paypal or continue with your credit card :)
Love the recipe for ketchup, but wanted to let you know that cooking honey turns it toxic. Changes the molecules into kinda like glue. Gets stuck in you and very hard to detox. Find out more from the healthy home economist blog. Maybe maple syrup could replace the honey.
Hi Kris, I wrote an entire article about this here if you’re interested :) Maple syrup is not allowed on the GAPS diet, and I have a lot of readers who are on that protocol.
Hi! We are starting GAPS, using your “What Can I Eat Now’ guide, and have a question regarding making the Kimchi, having never made traditional ferments before. Must the vegetables be covered with the juices, and does pounding them mean keep pounding until there’s enough juice to cover the veggies? Our veggies weren’t covered, so although we’ve turned the jars over a few times per day, the “top” fourth of veggies is above the liquid in the jar. Would these veggies not be able to ferment/do we need to throw out this batch and start over?
I have made sauerkraut for many years, and I almost never have enough liquid just from pounding. I add a very small amount of filtered water and give it a little stir to mix it with the other liquid, then proceed as usual. If you’ve never had traditional sauerkraut, it really easy, and you’re in for a treat!
I have a question regarding GAPS, or if GAPS isn’t applicable in this situation, then just plain real food: My husband works outdoors in the summer where it is very hot (110-115° or higher, on a regular basis, all summer). He eats very little during the day, if anything at all, and most days he doesn’t want any dinner, either, and the last thing he wants to see is a pot of hot soup. It’s just too hot here for that kind of summer eating. Do you have any light, cold GAPS meal suggestions? Thank you for your time.
I just found your blog few days ago and it is great. I been thinking about the GAPS diet for a long time, I been suffering from food allergies, depression, anxiety and headaches my entire life is like every year I found myself with more and more allergies. I don’t think I will have issues with changing my diet since last year I decided to change my lifestyle now we made most of our beauty and house cleaning product and I been cooking from scratch most of our food but I not so sure about my kids if they are ready for more changes or how difficult it be for them not able to eat bread, rice which are staples are at our house.
Thanks for your blog
Paula
Have you added any more information on vaccines since March 2016. I am very interested in your take of EACH vaccine!
I haven’t- I love having those articles up, but they take a long time to write! I try to do a couple every year.
Cara,
Do you have a recipe for Kombucha made with honey – SCD or GAPS legal?
Hi, I searched the website for a Butcher Box affiliate link. I found one link but it’s broken. I decided to sign up and hope you can get credit for it. There are other keto websites that seem to have relationships with Butcher Box, but I was reading your website long before keto and more recently your youtube channel has been immensely helpful, so I would rather sign up through you. Thanks.
Thank you Harmony! I do have a link, I’ll have to update it. It’s https://healthhomeandhappiness.com/butcherbox
Hej Cara,
I love all that you do, and you are a great inspiration for mums looking for more insight, your energy in and generosity are enormous! Thanks for reminding me about L-Carnosine I used it years back and do like the NOW brand, always good quality. The info on TRS is very interesting and worth looking into for sure.
My daughter is 26 years old now and has benefited so much from GAPS, KETO, and biomedical interventions over the years, She still does not talk much, but hey, I always hope one day she will.
Thanks for being such a brilliant warrior for all of us and the knowledge you so generously share. Blessing to you and your family.
Hi Cara
We saw your videos and then also visited your site. A big thanks for compiling so much information. Just few questions if you can help us with. We gave our child his first live vaccine 4 months back & he started passing loose stools. Till date his stool is not good and also progressive brain\behavior changes. FYI – Our child was never breastfed, dad has history of psychiatric\gut issues and he had a bad stomach infection few weeks prior to vaccine.
We did his GI Map and Thryve test (shows high prevotella, P.copri, P.oris, low lactobacillus & bifido). His genetic testing shows his body can flush toxins, process vit D\A. We did cut his dairy completely and limited his sugars. But still need to cuto out carbs completely.
–I understand with GAPs diet gradually a child can start eating more things. But if leaky gut or immune response or gut-brain connection is all about imbalanced gut flora, can GAPs diet help good bacterias colonize permanently in the gut. If yes, can the child become normal wrt brain\gut for rest of his life ?
— What are your opinions on FMT\MTT or probiotic enema as these can introduce right combinations of bacterias faster than diet ?. Or there are any side effects\risks ?
Thanks
Hello! I’ve loved your blog for years and really enjoy your YouTube videos. I just wrote this article on taking raw beef liver for a really effective natural migraine prevention. Finding out about this has been life changing for me, and I want to spread the word to others. Would you like to share it with your readers? Here is the link: https://bumblebeeapothecary.com/natural-migraine-prevention/
Thank you so much for the consideration!
