GAPS diet - has anyone tried it.

[Jane2212]

My Mom Irene, who had PSP, used to say that the problems with her fuzzy head were linked to her stomach ! My husband thought that was a mad thing to say. Mom had an ultrasound on her tum as she was losing weight and they did say she had a leaky gut but no remedial action was ever taken on it.

Last night a former schoolfriend emailed me - she has had ME for some years. She looked up the GAPS diet on the internet and it says that a leaky gut can allow toxins to enter the bloodstream and damage the brain ........ she has been trying the new diet and reported that she is much better lately. I was stunned. She said the diet was developed by a neuro-surgeon for her autistic son who is much better now, and that it also helps ME, MS and other brain-related diseases.

Just wondered if anyone had tried this GAPS diet at all ....... when Mom was here we'd try anything to help her ! My friend describes it as a bit of a 'caveman' diet, very basic. I might try it anyway.

By all means try the GAPS diet but also review recent discussions about this topic, and the developer of this diet, as in the following link:

All the best

Thanks for this, I hadn't come across this link while I was trawling. I don't think it would suit me but my friend with ME has told me she feels much better already - she wonders if it's a fluke - but she is enjoying it nevertheless. I don't think my Mom could have digested it because of her chewing problems etc but just wondered if anyone with PSP had tried it.
