Hi Marisa: TY for sharing this great info. I tried to purchase your GAPS course this morning. When I hit the purchase button the page scrolled to the top and did show that I paid for the course, but no order #, instructions, links to access the course, or even contact info. I checked my banking and discovered I was NOT charged for the course. The only link I found in your menu bar was a login link, so typing a comment here is the only way I know of to get in touch with you regarding this. Please let me know if you can help me purchase your course. Many thanks for your great channel. I encouraged my brother to use your info and videos. He started but others told him not to, and we lost him May 4, 2021. He was not old. VERY SAD!
Happy New Years to you & your beautiful family!❤🙏
Thanks for starting these videos. I’ve read the book years ago but was looking for an easy way to remember how to start.
You are so welcome!
I'm interested in starting the GAPS diet, but I find it super intimidating! I've only lasted 30 days at a time with strict elimimation diets. My symptoms don't improve, and I lose the motivation and go back to regular eating. I also dread the time and expense of elimination diets. They can be very difficult and stressful to maintain!
Feel free to email me if I can help! My contact info is in the description box. Sending well wishes!
To me, it's less of an elimination diet and more of a "focus on these foods" diet; specifically focusing on things that really fill you up and feed your body and heal your gut. It does cost more than filling up your plate with potatoes or rice, but you should never feel unsatisfied by a meal. My husband (who's underweight) has found that he's actually able to eat more food and thus get more nutrients in him with this diet. It's not a HUGE price increase*, as long as you're not eating the fanciest of meals every single day, and I've felt like I'm eating real food and am losing my cravings for sugary or bread type items. One thing I must note, however, is that during the introduction phase, you may feel rather strong cravings for specific "bad" foods--because the pathogenic bacteria that feeds off of those are dying; however, after a couple days, that craving should be gone.
And there are things that I want, so I just look up a GAPS recipe for it as a substitute. Like macaroni and cheese (I've made this from scratch off the GAPS diet...but specifically Panera's...), there's a version that uses cauliflower--but actually looks really good to me because I've been getting the nutrients I need and my brain chemistry and taste is changing to want what's good and healing right now. There are also GAPS ice cream recipes that I'm excited to try and other things of the sort.
Anyway, I know it's been a year since you posted that comment, but I hope this helps you or anyone else who stumbles across it!
*[we've found about a 20% increase or so on our grocery bill thus far, about the same as reported when people switch to vegan (which I tried for a week and learned that is NOT the way to go for my husband and I!). Say you have a $250 budget: it'd just be $50 more or $300 monthly. To me, this is worth the cost, considering life-long health and not having to pay future medical bills and suffering as a consequence of not healing myself. It can be more or less depending on your area and stores and how you choose to shop and cook, but this is what I've found.]
Thanks for this! Been looking for a guide on how to get started, so this will be super helpful. Gonna start this while on lockdown.
Glad it was helpful! This is a great time. Sending well wishes!
is the gaps diet good for candida and leaky gut? my gut burns all the time, I know I am really sick. Looking forward to getting better.
Thank you so much! I want to travel on Gaps Intro stage 3 but I am going to Mexico from the US to a hotel without Kitchen. How do you shop, wash dishes etc? Could you make a vlog video with your day traveling while on Gaps? I would love to watch!
Yes! We have a trip planned soon, so I'll vlog about it!
Thanks for making these
What questions do you have about starting GAPS intro?
Bumblebee Apothecary hi my kid is 8 yr old I want to start gaps diet , Donna what to give him throughout the day , since gaps is limited , he is mostly eating rice and a fussy eater .
Hi thank you for these wonderful videos. I'm thinking of starting GAPS for my anxiety and panic disorder. The only thing I'm concerned with is that do I need to eat fruit and dairy? Eliminating fruit from my diet has been one of the Best things for eliminating my panic and lowering my general anxiety and I'm worried that adding fruit back will bring my panic back with it. Thank you for any advice and please keep making these wonderful videos
Is it possible to start gaps while pregnant?
@@Aaron-sy5yx You're welcome! GAPS has been very helpful for people with anxiety and panic disorders. You don't have to include fruit at all. Many people do better without it. If dairy is an issue for you, Dr. Natasha has a specific way to reintroduce it later after more healing has happened. Cultured raw dairy is one of the best things ever, and is very different from conventional dairy. Hope that helps!
Hey those probiotics have bad reviews
I don’t see the link to coaches that you mentioned?
Is it normal to feel hungry when eating fermented foods?
Thank you!
Thank you for this! We don't have access to fresh pumpkin, so is it ok if canned pumpkin is used to make the soup? I have difficulty digesting cooked or raw carrots, so I'm hoping canned pumpkin can be an option for me.
Great question! Dr. Natasha doesn't really like canned foods, so I avoid them. Also, canned pumpkin isn't true pumpkin but is actually a winter squash, so that's helpful to know.
Thanks for this vid! gonna start the diet in one week from now.
Good for you! You're welcome :)
Thank you thank you for this! I found out I have Hashimoto's disease and bread and sugar is causing inflammation in my feet and legs and it hurts soooo much to walk so I'm going to give this a try.
I have nothing in my house right now that I can eat that fits the gaps diet lol.
I'm glad it was helpful! Dr. Natasha says that GAPS is a great way to eat for that.
@@BumblebeeApothecary hi Marisa, my son has inflamation in his small intestines. He has crohn's disease. I want him to put to gaps diet.you think it can help him to heal his inflamation?yhank you
@@ingridkraus6806 hello!
I would recommend also looking at the RUclips channel “Nutrition with Judy”, it may be helpful!
Thank you for your videos! I ordered the probiotic you recommend but just learned after taking it for a bit that it most likely contains some heavy metals and lead. Would you mind looking into that?
Thank you for this question! Where did you learn about it containing heavy metals and lead? This particular brand was recommended by a certified GAPS practitioner, and I have used it for years with great results.
Bumblebee Apothecary I’m definitely not an expert. I originally found it the comments on amazon reviews and then looked into it myself. It has to do with the first ingredient, Leonardite. It wasn’t easy to research actually, but eventually found what would be very questionable about it. I ended up returning it. I also found that Chris Kresser wrote an article as to why he’ll no longer recommend it. Please let me know if you find anything else out.
I yes need to possibly do this diet. Can I let you know soon? Thank you so much
Feel free to reach out via Instagram or email :)
Hi Marissa, does the GAPS diet work for OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder? Does it need to be tweaked or adjusted at all for OCD? Thank you
Yes it does! The healing protocol is the same, it doesn't have to be tweaked at all. Hope that helps!
In the very beginning can you eat soft cooked vegetables with the broth and chicken or do you add the vegetables later?
Great question! You eat the soft cooked vegetables from the beginning :)
@@BumblebeeApothecary when the books say to remove the bones and meaty pieces from the stock to use in future stock… i think, yeah, that’s smart. But what does that actually look like?! Do you put those meaty pieces in your daily soup or just use them for stock? The books are hard to understand if you’re recently starting to eat meat after 30+ years without 😹
@@SarahPerine I'm keeping the bones in the freezer for bone broth at a later date, but the meat you can just use for whatever foods you want--you can put it in soup, chicken salad, casserole, etc. (or, if you have too much or cooked it too long, I've used it for my dogs' food along with vegetables since we've been feeding them real food). I think the second instance of "stock" in your example sentence was supposed to be "soup" in the book... Hope that helps!
Oh and no you really don't want to make stock out of meat that's already been "stocked"--it won't extract hardly anything from the meat and will just destroy it and be a waste of time.
I’m really wanting to do Gaps with my son who is 12. The only issue is that he goes to a summa camp during the day and right after that in August he starts school back. I can’t trust that he won’t be sneaking snacks. What should I do? I feel lost when it comes to his nutrition. I’ve tried low carb/keto and he’s lost a good bit of weight but he’s not consistent with it at other peoples houses. Is there any suggestions you could give me?
Thank you!
That is a hard age, but not impossible! Dr. Natasha recommends lots of communication about how he feels after he eats certain ways, and why the GAPS food is better. Try to help make it be his choice, too. This book can be very helpful: amzn.to/3pWsaxu
@@BumblebeeApothecary I’ll check into that! Thank you so much!
Interesting, thank you.
Why is it called GAPS?
Alison Downey gut and psychology Syndrome
I'm definitely interested in starting the GAPS diet. I am 6 months pregnant and have the worst facial eczema. I have heard it is not a good idea to "detox" while pregnant or breastfeeding. What are your thoughts? I generally follow a Nourishing Traditions diet about 70% of the time, with some junky things added in.
Great question! Dr. Natasha recommends the full GAPS diet (but not intro) while pregnant and nursing. Intro can trigger a lot of detox which isn't good for baby, but a lot of progress can be made gently on full GAPS. Hope this helps!
How long is the intro diet?
I have a 41 year old son still living at home a s he has autism and schizophrenic periods and he is having a lot of issues. I want to try this diet. Any hints?
Start the diet , I'm doing it with my kid and for the first 4 days he is more tranquil and sees me in the eyes and starts to concentrate so much. Try it and you will not repent. Read the books of Natasha Campbell
Starting the intro diet over and taking it slower. If you are adding in your fermented foods do you still need probiotics in pill form?
Good for you! Not necessarily. Some people add them, but many people do very well with just fermented foods. We personally usually just use the foods. Hope that helps!
I want to do the GAPS diet but every time I try to cut starchy carbs out of my diet, I fall in a heap and have no energy after about 4-5 days. Like my whole body and limbs feel so heavy. I know some of my children really would benefit from this too but feel overwhelmed at the thought of trying to do this for a family of 7. I know I couldn’t do GAPS for some of us snd cook other food for the rest.
I'm sorry to hear this :(
@@BumblebeeApothecary do you know why cutting out starchy carbs would cause such an energy crash? Could it be a die off reaction to the bad bacteria in the gut? I have been told by a Dr that I have dysbiosis.
What cooked vegie is allowed in 1st stage of gaps diet
Sauerkraut!
How much fibre on the gaps intro diet
Thank you for the great information Marissa, question, this is my second time doing GAPS introduction, do you think that the second time you do it, you can go faster trough the stages? I know it depends on how your body behave but have you noticed you go through faster when you repeat it?
Great question! Yes, people can often go quicker the second time they do intro. I did it the first time 10 years ago, and took a lot more time. I recently did it again and went through all the stages in about a month. It is very individual :)
Hi Marissa, Thank you so much for your videos!! I’ve recently purchased three GAPS books: the yellow, the blue, and a book on recipes by stages. I know I’m not an idiot (completely!) but these books are very difficult for me to follow! It’s not crystal clear. And I like to do things well and study them deeply before moving forward. All this to say that your videos are clearing the murk for me!! I’m still quite lost but have hope with your videos!! Thanks so very much and I wish you and your family continued health and happiness!!
Hi :) I'm looking into using the GAPS to heal a severe candiasis infection and leaky gut. However I'm recovering from a six year vegan diet that led me to those problems. I now have serious intolerance to all veggies due to relying on them primarily for years while depriving my body of essential amino acids, omegas etc. Is it possible to do GAPS with more of a carnivore/keto approach? I'm worried I won't get enough calories or variation but I couldn't handle vegetables mentioned :/
Hello! It sounds like you're on the right track. Yes, I have heard of people doing very well with a low plant or no plant version of GAPS. It sounds like that could work well for you. I am actually working through the training right now to become a certified GAPS coach, so in a few months I'll be able to help even more with this!
@@BumblebeeApothecary Great thank you for the reply. Do you know of people successfully completing it with a histamine intolerance? I developed this with the candida and react very strongly to anything with histamine, even the meat stock that's only been cooked for 2 hours. Gives me horrible insomnia and a racing heart. It;s hard to heal the gut when the things needed my body reacts to :/
@@sorchx Sorry to hear that, that is hard :( I have heard of people completing it with a histamine intolerance, and they have to be very careful with fermented foods. Usually those have to wait at first. I'm not certain how to go about it when meat stock gives you that bad of a reaction. I would recommend seeing if there is a certified GAPS practitioner that you could work with. I'm sure there is a way! Sending well wishes!
@@sorchx I had another thought: I have heard of people doing something called "no plant GAPS." I am wondering if this is what you might need to try. When you make meat stock, you would cook only meat with some salt, no herbs or spices or any plants. You would eat only meat stock cooked this way, meat, fats, and eventually cultured dairy.
@@BumblebeeApothecary Thank you so much for your reply. I will look into all of those. :)
Hey I’m supposed to start gaps diet but I have no idea what I’m doing or where to start could you give me some advice?
Yes! I have lots of free resources on my blog: bumblebeeapothecary.com and lots more videos on GAPS here on RUclips. I also have a 30 day GAPS meal plan: bumblebee-apothecary.teachable.com/p/gaps-to-go and a complete program that guides people through the entire GAPS diet. I do my personalized coaching through this program inside the private Facebook group. The program isn't open to the public for enrollment very often, but you can sign up here to watch my free class on starting GAPS with more confidence and less confusion, and get more info and an invitation to the program: my.demio.com/ref/2znHBvku8txu1OSd I hope that helps! Sending well wishes!
I recently started the carnivore diet and have seen good results so far, but am loosing weight which I don't want to do as am already thin. Does the introduction gaps diet cause weight loss too?
Great question! GAPS will bring a person's weight to where their body needs it to be. Hope that helps!
Can an IUD cause problems with the gut flora like birth control pills?
I know there are concerns about copper toxicity, which could also affect flora.
Hi marisa! Besides read the book, i watch your video too before starting my gaps journey and your video help so much! Thank you! Based on what i read we can introduce honey a little from stage one for example with ginger tea. In what stage you personally introduce honey?
I'm so glad it was helpful! Yes, Dr. Campbell-McBride says a little bit of honey is alright in stage 1, with the tea. When I did GAPS intro, I didn't add honey until stage 6, which is another way you can do it. Hope that helps!
Bumblebee Apothecary thank for your reply :) may i ask why you dont add honey until stage 6?
@@CD-yx2zn I just wanted to make sure I wasn't feeding the opportunistic gut flora with too much sweet food :)
In regards to the Probiotic, I wanted to know if there is a new brand your trying out or are you using the same one?
I keep going back to Prescript Assist, plus I also recently tried Just Thrive and I like them both!
@@BumblebeeApothecary great thank you
@@BumblebeeApothecary 1 more questions, I saw you have a 30 day program. Do you have a video explaining or talking about your program? That would be helpful because I'm so confused and I've been tempted to try the gaps diet because I got an ulcer at the end of 2019 but I read about the gaps diet and I would like to try it but I'm not sure if I can be fully committed to the intro because it seems hard or confusing and then after. I also wanted to know once the intro is done, do you have to follow the steps after? Or can you transition to normal eating? Because I know the second phase is much longer. Do you have a program or something explaining after finishing the intro phase?
TRS? Woah, I hope you're up to speed as to the far better choice for that.
hi, marisa can we talk a little in private? thanks
For GAPS coaching, I created a comprehensive program that takes people through GAPS for 12 months (or longer if they need it) called Follow GAPS Academy. It's basically everything I offer as a GAPS coach, in a complete class. It ends up being a better value than paying for multiple one on one coaching sessions, plus you still get personalized support from me as often as you need it in the exclusive Facebook group. The program isn't open to the public for enrollment very often, but you can sign up here to watch my free class on starting GAPS with more confidence and less confusion, and get more info and an invitation to the program: my.demio.com/ref/2znHBvku8txu1OSd I hope that helps!
