What is the GAPS Diet?
The GAPS Diet is a dietary plan that was designed by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. The GAPS Diet was first aimed at addressing autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, eczema, allergies, and asthma.
GAPS is a six-stage program. The first stage is stricter than the later phases in the diet. GAPS is a lifestyle and dietary change that aims to restore gut integrity and support proper digestion and detoxification.
GAPS addresses many types of conditions like Crohn's disease, IBS, chronic diarrhea, gastritis, ulcerative colitis, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It can also be effective for conditions associated with gut imbalance like autism, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and schizophrenia.
