My immigrant grandmother kept a 5 gallon pail in the corner of her kitchen. She loaded the bottom of the pail with cabbage and salt. Placed a cheesecloth over the cabbage, then took a large rock from the field overtop and let it ferment. She lived to 92.
Just found your challenge because I was watching a Vitamix blender soup recipe and was looking at the comments. One of the comments from someone that mentioned that she was doing a Soup Challenge. I was intrigued by the idea of a Soup Challenge and wanted to know more. Your channel came up! I am SOOO happy that it did! What a blessing!!! I also have a special needs Autistic son and an ADHD son. I have wanted to try the GAPS diet for them but have been always overwhelmed about starting it. You made it sooo easy for me to know that I COULD actually do this for my family! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! What an absolute blessing to have found your channel. You are so easy to follow and have a calm personality which is wonderful for any frazzled momma to listen too!
It reminds me how my mom made food for me when I was small. On a side I am originally from Russia. Meat stocks, fish stocks are definitely part of our diet. I guess without even knowing it we kind of followed gaps diet. I bought a book by Dr. Natasha. For sure would be helpful. Thank you for your channel!
Thank you so much for your videos! I have to say that I can cook, I can ferment, I can make a mean broth... but I read the GAPS book and still didn't know how to do GAPS. I bought your book and I can't tell you how much I love it. It's straightforward, puts everything into perspective, and the recipes are very doable. My kids start next week!
Thanks so much for making this video. I’m gonna do this diet to hopefully help with my ulcer in my esophagus. It’s a small ulcer, and I’d like to keep it that way. I’m gonna try these recipes. Thanks again!
Thank you very, very much. That was sooo helpful. Fun fact: you taught a german how to make his own Sauerkraut. Great video, incredible help for me and a lot of people. Wish you the best!!
I love how this woman understands the overwhelm. Thank you for this. I've been having some serious digestive issues and trying different things...things that were working for a while and now isn't. I'm going to get your book and sub to this channel.
@@Healthhomehappy Hello Sandy from lreland l've just subbed...Please what's the name of your book? This is new to me & need guidance from an experienced person such as yourself. God bless you for helping others.😊💗
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm starting this this weekend to try to heal my toddler's eczema and I was feeling quite overwhelmed with the undertaking. And also thank you for acknowledging that saving the scraps could add overwhelm. 😂
I use a glass measuring cup to scoop the broth from my bowl into my jars. That way it doesn't spill even a drop. Otherwise, I would spill as much as you did!
Beautiful orange yolk. That's how it should look. My local farm here, in extreme northern NY, has yolks just like that. The taste is like nothing else. Thank you for your videos.
Hello, I came across this old video where you explain GAPS. I remembered that it was precisely in relation to a video on GAPS that I subscribed to your channel in 2017. All of your nutrition videos are very interesting and useful! Will you do any again? Have a nice day!
@@Healthhomehappy Holy Moley! I was horrified that you went to all the effort and expense to make chicken stock only to pour so much of it right down the drain because you wouldn't wait until you had procured a funnel?!? What an unnecessary waste.
I’m very new to your site and absolutely love the GAPS introduction video. Some of your links are not working making it somewhat difficult to follow your pages. I was able to go to your website finally, but again had an error notice on some links. Thanks for all of your research from other sources as you seem to be spot on what I’m trying to accomplish for myself.
Today was my 7 day with gaps diet. The first days were tough only drinking the broth and eating the left over meat. But i must say am very happy, before i could not eat broccoli, cauliflower cabbage , because my stomach was always upset. but for the last 2 days i have eaten broccoli, cauliflower with no stomach upset!!
Thank you Health Home and Happiness, today i feel more renewed i woke up with clear mind and i was amazed, how calm my mind was. I've never felt the peace of mind like that before. My stomach is also at peace. Am glad to have found your channel and start this journey of gut healing. Hugs!!
Really? You are the only person in the world besides myself who hasn't been able to eat those things. I can't do eggs either. I think I'm going to do the broth a little longer because I'm terrified to eat broccoli!
Hi. Thank you for beautiful recipes. Just one thing my child has mild autism symptoms and excema too. Should i follow your recpie of day 2. She's allergic to eggs too thank you. Please reply.
Does it need to be chicken stock? Could it be different meats? I don't have good quality chicken meat available :/ Could it be pork/ deer/ wild game? 🙏
This is fantastic video. So much helpful information. Do you have Any tips on how to make a kabocha squash and beef patty, I will of course cook the squash first.
I bought your book after watching these videos. There are so many gaps intro videos & frankly they remind me of speaking Christaineze. In that when, Christians get together they start speaking in Christian lingo & it makes others who aren't versed in these words/terms really hard to follow the conversation. Because of that I try to remain mindful & not say things like "be like David"...lol Instead, I just explain that we should trust in God & be a (wo)man after God's own Heart. Likewise, these other ppl talking about GAPs on youtube, seem to be knowledgeable & laboriously explain every detail of GAPs but they use such terminology that they lose the average non practicing GAPs person. It's like they speak in circles. By the time they're done explain terminology, I forgot what they were talking about. You teach through showing us what to do, that is incredibly helpful for a mama with ADHD & that learn visually. I have spent MONTHS studying this book & watching GAPs channels and videos & I learned more from this one video than I did from all of those things. Which is why I bought the book. The book is really incredible. It's detailed, full of information, it's clear, it's written in digestible language, pun intended. Can't thank you enough. God bless you & yours.
Hi..thank you for sharing..can I make the broth (chicken/meat) using pressure cooker instead of slow cooker? Will that makes any difference in term of its benefit/quality?
Thanks for the tips. I know what you mean when pouring into Mason jars I find putting the jars in a larger bowl or pan using a funal so you're not loosing any broth.
These different recepies, are we eating them alternating through the day? Like if you have already done day 5, then one meal might be meat patties and the next is soup?
Hello Cara, I have a daughter with ASD and she’s 9. I recently found out this Gaps Diet and I have tons of questions to ask, and I have been watching ur videos, it gives me a lot motivation. My daughter likes soup but not vegetables, do you have any tricks how to make them eat vegetables?
I am a GAPS momma. There is actually multiple versions of the GAPS diet. One is no plants GAPS or low plants. You can blend what vegetables you have in the stock. My children love stock with blended pumpkins or carrots. You can also just start with no vegetables and slowly add them in small amounts. Blended onion is usually well received.
Thanks for the video, I am trying GAPS for 3 years now and my shymtoms go away while on it but once I eat something out am back to square 1. Life is hard like his as I can't socialize out drinking and eating. I can only drink water out that doesn't harm me. Chicken stock is great for my gut but I have sensitivity to chicken so I get skin rash if I do it too often.
Thank you for this video, it means a lot. I'am currently at stage 1 for about a week, drinking just soups - it seems that the meat is still too much and I'm really having some hard time now. I can hardly see a cup of soup, it's making me sick in stomach. I'm also having this hard pain in my back. Do you have any experience with that? Thank you again.
Hiiii! 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁Thank you so much for the video esp about the chicken stock. What is the reason you don't make chicken broth by cooking it longer than an hour? 🎁
Thank YOU so much! I learned a lot from your videos. I have a 18 month old who is currently a picky eater and his non verbal at this age - he doesn’t understand the whole bribe and offer I watched from your video for picky eaters. Should I start him on full gaps diet first l?
We did - my kids were SUPER hungry when we were on intro, it helps once you can add in eggs. You don't have to spend 5 days on stage 1, sometimes I'll add in eggs on day 3.
I asked a friend about this. I thought there was no way We could only do stock with meat. But he said that was all he ate and I tried it. We found if you actually cook it a bit longer and blend in the cartiledge, skin and marrow, it is so satisfying. The collagen will have an appetite suppressing as well as reducing anxiety. It's somehow so different than plain.
A lot of people who are doing the GAPS Intro are sensitive to dairy, I recommend using veggie ferments (not dairy or water kefir) for Intro. But yes, we use tons of kefir, especially in the summer when we're not on intro, we love it!
This sounds sooo interesting and I would totally give it a try, but what about fructosemalabsorption? I have it and I'm not supposed to eat that and I'm not allowed certain fruits. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks a lot
absolutely fantastic you shared i want to know that gluten free diet and casein free diet is same as GAPS diet or both are different i am confused kindly reply me
I would like to do the GAPS diet because I have heard it can help with acid reflux, but I feel like I would need to take 2 weeks off of work to do this. I work 9 hours a day, and I commute.
hi newbie here hope you answer my question how will i know if im done with the stge one and switch on stage2? please enlighten me im willing to do it with my son pls answer
It's better to cook as you go (especially if histamine is an issue) but most of us cook 3-4 days worth of broth and some of the common veggies at a time.
Do you think I can get away with freezing the soups? I plan on starting with my daughter and put aside a bowl for my husband who is leaving for 3wks... so when he comes back he can just pop and go...
This video helped me understand a little more about the phases/stages of the introductory GAPS diet. Thank you. I have a question about tallow. Is there an email where I can ask you about it?
I have an autoimmune disease Lupus Sle and I would like to try introducting the Gap diet I was wondering where you got the book you show in your video stage 1day 1 GAP chicken stock. Also day 4 cuts off 😥 Thanks!
Questions. Yes, these are extremely tiny meals but that said, that are doable however, my question is serving size per meal? And, how many times a day or meals per day do we eat during these first seven intro days? Can we eat as much as we want per meal? And can we eat three times a day or more than three times a day? Because there are critical lacking in sufficient calories here in this diet, and that is and, ir can be very dangerous if we do not consume enough important daily calories. I'm considering doing this diet, but would definately need to eat a lot more than shown especially with soup meals, otherwise I would not have enough energy to make it an entire day. Our bodies need healthy and sufficient number of per meal or daily calories and what I am seeing per meal is seriousely lacking in calories, so I'd need to know these questions for that reason and also for prior to meal preparation that there is enough to consume per each meal. Also, what can we drink and for the proper amount of fluids during the daytime and how much can we drink? Because plenty of fluids are critical, to prevent both diarrhea and constipation complications. Im finding this interesting, but these are very important need to know concerning questions. These could be a problem for those with hypoglycemia and with diabetes both. Any suggestions? Thank you
In case this is useful... you can eat as much as you like ! As far as drinking - the GAPS diet recommends drinking several cups of stock, filtered water and ginger, mint or chamomile tea ! 😊
In your “what can I eat now guide”you recommended simmering for 8 hours. Can you explain the difference with simmering for an hour in this video? Which do you recommend?
one comment regarding the addition of sauerkraut juice to meat stock , I guess the meat stock should not be too hot, otherwise the good bacteria of the juice would be killed.
I’m now on day 2 GAPS intro diet. Thank you very much for the information, it’s really helpfull. Only the sauerkraut probiotic. On internet they said you need make sure no air is in the glass pot. So fill the other 1/4 with plastic bag with water. For fermenting. Ur method is 1/4 of the glass sauerkraut is air. What u think bout this?
The little air that's in the jar gets used up quickly - and that's why we add the salt, to keep the bad bacteria from multiplying. In short, the bacteria that need air don't like salt, and once the air is used up they can't multiply and the good stuff takes over :) I don't think I'd put a plastic bag in there with my ferment personally.
@@Healthhomehappy Thanks for answering. Then i will also leave it out. Almost stage 2 now :) i'm 23 years old with autism, depression, anxiety. I try to fight my symptoms with this diet.
You can, but some people are cautious with them. I use the Instant Pot all the time though :) healthhomeandhappiness.com/instant-pot-safe-for-gaps.html
hello ! my 6 mo old daughter has horrible eczema she is always scratching and i know it bothers her poor baby :( i have tried creams, cutting out dairy, starting to cut of glutten . it seems like nothing is working but the more i research the GAPS diet , the more i am convinced that this is what i need to do. im trying to avoid buying a hundred books on ezcema and health SO would you recommend that i just buy the GAPS (yellow) book? or do you have any sites that make this easier to understand and start? this is SO overwhelming and i just want to start !!!
Hi AJAV, if you click over here you'll find out what I say about eczema: healthhomeandhappiness.com/eczema-is-the-root-cause-in-the-gut.html Also yes, you will want to buy the GAPS book, but you may be able to heal her eczema (especially if you're nursing) if you cut out eggs, dairy, wheat, and then see which was triggering it. Then increase probiotics and keep the triggering food out :)
I hope you still check this. I am recovering from covid and it did a number on my stomach. I already had leaky gut. How can I start this very gently so I don't get sick again?
Be sure when adding probiotic to broth that the broth is not too hot for it. If the broth is too hot it will just cook the bacteria that you are trying to get and make it ineffective. The broth should be warm not hot.
www.paleohacks.com/kefir/how-does-kefir-get-past-stomach-acid-11676 This thread echoes everything I have found on probiotics in the stomach. The stomach acid isn't as deadly to probiotics as we are led to believe by modern medical practitioners, and more get through than they tell us.
I am on the GAPS intro diet. I have a question about reusing beef bones to make meat stock. Do you recommend reusing the bones over and over again to remake beef stock? I was wondering if you would release histamines into the stock if you reuse bones that have already been simmered for a couple of hours to make the initial stock. Thank you, your videos are so helpful!
I just getting ready to start Stage 1. When you show the recipes (beef patties, Onions etc) how many times a day are you to eat? For example, day 1 you show making the stock. Is this all you eat all day? Thanks!
Hi Liz, my e-book has a few different recipes for each day, the GAPS book does too, and you just eat as much as you are hungry for within whatever stage you're on.
Thx for your video i just wonder i heard gaps diet is all about bone broth that means simmering the chicken or beef or any meat bones for 24_48 hrs and now im confused is it bone broth or stocks thx alot appreciated
If he is choosing to be vegetarian, I would take this time to take parental authority over making decisions for him. It is much easier to get adequate nutrition if he is eating meat. If the family is vegetarian, I would consider doing a temporary trial of including meat and see how he does.

ohhhh so intro you boil for less time to keep histamine down? I was wondering how I will start with such bad histamine issues!
I put my stock in ice cube trays, freeze and then place in large freezer bags.
Get your hands in a squish the cabbage and salt together it works faster you dont need to leave it sitting out for an hour
I loved the recipe meat patties! Drinking the stock with garlic is a great idea! Thanks!
I'm so glad Michelle :)
Thank you for these GAPS diet videos!

Because there are critical lacking in sufficient calories here in this diet, and that is and, ir can be very dangerous if we do not consume enough important daily calories. I'm considering doing this diet, but would definately need to eat a lot more than shown especially with soup meals, otherwise I would not have enough energy to make it an entire day. Our bodies need healthy and sufficient number of per meal or daily calories and what I am seeing per meal is seriousely lacking in calories, so I'd need to know these questions for that reason and also for prior to meal preparation that there is enough to consume per each meal. Also, what can we drink and for the proper amount of fluids during the daytime and how much can we drink? Because plenty of fluids are critical, to prevent both diarrhea and constipation complications. Im finding this interesting, but these are very important need to know concerning questions. These could be a problem for those with hypoglycemia and with diabetes both. Any suggestions? Thank you
In case this is useful... you can eat as much as you like ! As far as drinking - the GAPS diet recommends drinking several cups of stock, filtered water and ginger, mint or chamomile tea ! 😊
For the sauerkraut is it ok to have a dark colored glass jar or is clear better?
This video is great. Thank you for it.
either is fine, just make sure it's a good quality glass or ceramic vessel.
If you're using the juice from your ferments, why don't you use more water to start with? Is it not okay to fill the jar to the top with water?
Hi thank you for the video. I'm wondering if I could use a store bought organic saurkraut made locally.
Hi, you can, there are more and more probiotic rich krauts in stores and at farmers markets, I love it! :)
What about the fat in the stock after cooking the hamburger? I don’t have a gallbladder.. so should I cool it and skim the fat off before drinking it?
Do you have a video on how to do the food sensitivity test?
I don't, sorry Angie!
I want to make the whole onion soup in my instant pot...do you know how long to cook them
In your “what can I eat now guide”you recommended simmering for 8 hours. Can you explain the difference with simmering for an hour in this video? Which do you recommend?
It should be 8 hours - I need to redo this video Sorry about that!
one comment regarding the addition of sauerkraut juice to meat stock , I guess the meat stock should not be too hot, otherwise the good bacteria of the juice would be killed.
I’m now on day 2 GAPS intro diet. Thank you very much for the information, it’s really helpfull. Only the sauerkraut probiotic. On internet they said you need make sure no air is in the glass pot. So fill the other 1/4 with plastic bag with water. For fermenting. Ur method is 1/4 of the glass sauerkraut is air. What u think bout this?
The little air that's in the jar gets used up quickly - and that's why we add the salt, to keep the bad bacteria from multiplying. In short, the bacteria that need air don't like salt, and once the air is used up they can't multiply and the good stuff takes over :) I don't think I'd put a plastic bag in there with my ferment personally.
@@Healthhomehappy Thanks for answering. Then i will also leave it out. Almost stage 2 now :) i'm 23 years old with autism, depression, anxiety. I try to fight my symptoms with this diet.
I wish you the best! How are you feeling?

@@Healthhomehappy right now not to bad. Energy level is more higher. Still mood swings but energy is good.
Are we allowed turmeric in the same category as ginger and garlic?
Thank you, you rock !
I live in the country and I have a well can I use my well water
can you use a electric instant pot to make the broths etc many thanks
You can, but some people are cautious with them. I use the Instant Pot all the time though :) healthhomeandhappiness.com/instant-pot-safe-for-gaps.html
@@Healthhomehappy i am using a vitaclay n works great too
Can you use pumpkin for Day 5 instead of squash? And Himalayan salt instead of sea salt? Are there other options other than onions on Day 3?
hello ! my 6 mo old daughter has horrible eczema she is always scratching and i know it bothers her poor baby :( i have tried creams, cutting out dairy, starting to cut of glutten . it seems like nothing is working but the more i research the GAPS diet , the more i am convinced that this is what i need to do. im trying to avoid buying a hundred books on ezcema and health SO would you recommend that i just buy the GAPS (yellow) book? or do you have any sites that make this easier to understand and start?
this is SO overwhelming and i just want to start !!!
Hi AJAV, if you click over here you'll find out what I say about eczema: healthhomeandhappiness.com/eczema-is-the-root-cause-in-the-gut.html Also yes, you will want to buy the GAPS book, but you may be able to heal her eczema (especially if you're nursing) if you cut out eggs, dairy, wheat, and then see which was triggering it. Then increase probiotics and keep the triggering food out :)
I hope you still check this. I am recovering from covid and it did a number on my stomach. I already had leaky gut. How can I start this very gently so I don't get sick again?
Be sure when adding probiotic to broth that the broth is not too hot for it. If the broth is too hot it will just cook the bacteria that you are trying to get and make it ineffective. The broth should be warm not hot.

It’s irrelevant any probiotics taken orally do not survive the stomach acid unless they are in a specially designed gel pill
I think you need to investigate your assertion more.

This thread echoes everything I have found on probiotics in the stomach. The stomach acid isn't as deadly to probiotics as we are led to believe by modern medical practitioners, and more get through than they tell us.
I am on the GAPS intro diet. I have a question about reusing beef bones to make meat stock. Do you recommend reusing the bones over and over again to remake beef stock? I was wondering if you would release histamines into the stock if you reuse bones that have already been simmered for a couple of hours to make the initial stock. Thank you, your videos are so helpful!
I wouldn't on intro, but you can save them and do that later :) When I'm not on intro I reuse my bones 3 times usually.
I just getting ready to start Stage 1. When you show the recipes (beef patties, Onions etc) how many times a day are you to eat? For example, day 1 you show making the stock. Is this all you eat all day? Thanks!
Hi Liz, my e-book has a few different recipes for each day, the GAPS book does too, and you just eat as much as you are hungry for within whatever stage you're on.
Thank you!
what veggie can I replace cauliflower with im allergic to that
Do you use organic everything? It's hard for me to find organic chicken and in the winter hard to find organic veggies.
Thx for your video i just wonder i heard gaps diet is all about bone broth that means simmering the chicken or beef or any meat bones for 24_48 hrs and now im confused is it bone broth or stocks thx alot appreciated
can you freeze the stock?
Hi my Son is 3 years old and purely vegetarian, please share some veg recipes as well.
If he is choosing to be vegetarian, I would take this time to take parental authority over making decisions for him. It is much easier to get adequate nutrition if he is eating meat. If the family is vegetarian, I would consider doing a temporary trial of including meat and see how he does.
@@Healthhomehappy we tried multiple times but he won't eat. He has good progress but he lots of behavior issues. Not getting how to handl this.

I thought egg yolks weren’t introduced until week 2 of the intro diet? 🤗
