We are challenged in our family with far too many health and well being issues so in order to try and rectify them we are going to do GAPS

Day 26 Intro


We are still here and progressing through the stages of intro, we are on stage 4 now and will probably go to stage 5 this coming week. Master 11 is dying to get to his all time most favourite and most eaten food all his life - Apples! Stage 5 introduces stewed apples and he ccan'twait.

Food wise I think I am finally on top of it, I think the severe restrictions totally challenged me and then following on and introducing certain things at certain stages kept me struggling but I am finally starting to feel like I am managing better. We have introduced quite a few new tings now, the first day we had carrot juice was a highlight, it was like ambrosia for the both of us and has become a real treat to start the day with. The ground almond bread is also nice, just to have something baked adds a whole new texture to our diets. We are also having gelatine jubes and coconut butted drops so a sweet treat is very welcomed.

Master 11 is doing really well. He is much better emotionally turning into a normal pre teen boy now and I suspect his hormones were contributing to some of his emotional challenges, he has also improved physically a lot and is looking so much better- he is really aware of his body now too and if anything upsets his body can tell me straight away. 

Me - I am struggling emotionally with a whole host of issues so I need super GAPS to sort my emotional stuff, health wise I am tired, so tired I was hoping I would gain some energy but I am fighting to stay away till 10 every night and don't have much energy in the days.
