A Little GAPS Real Talk and Friday Links

I am feeling a little bit stuck with the GAPS Intro diet this week. I need to vent about it. Just a little, if that’s okay. I was making great progress until a few days ago. I had no trouble introducing new foods and my symptoms were mostly gone. I was feeling good, feeling ready […]

Thoughts on Enduring Sickness (And Starting GAPS Intro)

I started the GAPS Intro Diet today. After all the prep work, I’m finally doing this thing. I wanted to say a few words about why I am starting this GAPS journey, because I kind of feel like a crazy person. I mean, this is crazy, right? To restrict my diet in so many ways, […]

It’s a Christmas crisis!

Haha, just kidding, it’s not that serious. But I feel like I should update you on the goings on of my life. You’re my people! I am currently typing this post on my iPhone, which I didn’t even know was possible until 5 minutes ago- hello, 2012! Our desktop iMac has taken a turn for […]

What’s Wrong with My Stomach? My Story.

You might have noticed that I have been experimenting with quite a few diet philosophies in the past year or so. Vegan, Nourishing Traditions, Paleo, Refined-Sugar Free, Gluten-Free.. I’ve developed recipes that fit into all of these categories. I think it’s time to explain why I seem a little scatterbrained. I have stomach pain. I’m […]

My Thoughts on Perfection
