G.A.P.S. DIET
The GAPS diet was derived from the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) created by Dr. Sidney Valentine Haas to naturally treat chronic inflammatory conditions in the digestive tract as a result of a damaged gut lining. Through years of research and clinical experience, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride took the SCD protocol a step further. She designed the GAPS diet to fit the individual healthcare needs of her patients (including her own Autistic son) suffering from intestinal and neurological conditions as a result of an imbalanced bacterial ecosystem within the GI tract. The GAPS diet focuses on removing various food groups that are damaging to gut flora and replacing them with nutrient-dense, healing foods.
The GAPS diet protocol gives the body the tools to repair intestinal lining, seal permutations in the walls of the intestines, eliminate chronic inflammation, and
re-establish a healthy gut flora, improving digestive function and overall health.

THE SCD DIET (Specific Carbohydrate Diet)
Over 25 years ago, after several years of investigating and researching the effects of various sugars on the digestive tract using the SCD guidelines, Elaine Gottschall published "Breaking The Vicious Cycle" - describing the protocol in easy to understand terms and instructions to follow the diet protocol.
