I could sing again…
I could wear contacts and perfume again…
Those were the unexpected benefits of healing my seasonal allergies!
Until my late 30s, I suffered from life-long, debilitating seasonal allergies. I can’t remember not having them. I dreaded spring and summer because of the pollen. Later in life, my allergies got so bad, I was having issues year round. Ugh!
The kind of allergies where I couldn’t function because I would sneeze over and over and over and over… all. day. long. My body wouldn’t stop.
If I didn’t take my allergy medicine upon waking, it would take a few hours for relief to set in.
And relief? The relief that allergy meds give is just a prison of another kind.
Sure, I wasn’t sneezing… but I was so dried up, I felt like a dessert.
So either way, I was miserable. And so was my family. It was hard to be around me.
Then my life changed in the best way possible. I went on the GAPS Diet (a gut-healing protocol), and it healed my seasonal allergies - and I have been completely free of them for going on 5 years now.
A few days… that’s all it took for my allergies to go away. (I stuck with the diet for a few months, though. And I still avoid modern wheat and sugar.)
I was really skeptical going into it that it would work for me.
If you have any kind of condition or illness, I bet you feel the same. You’re so used to being that way that you can’t imagine the burden being lifted.
Right?
But now - having experienced the healing myself - I am such a huge believer that all our health is tied to the gut. And I want everyone to get to the bottom of their issues.
Some conditions are harder than others; I know that that my seasonal allergies were probably an easier case.
Yet, I believe that gut health is important for everyone! It can help the average person feel great and it can help the sickly feel average.
The trouble is… gut-healing diets can be complicated!
It’s a lot of information to wrap your head around.
That’s why today, we’re going to focus gut-healing diets made simple.
We’re going to talk through the basic things you need to know to embark on a gut-healing diet.
(And yes, I’ll share resources for more info…)
I’m so glad you’re here for this week’s #AskWardee!
**The Question: GAPS Is Overwhelming!
Brenna H., a dear in-real-life friend, asks:
I am starting to consider doing GAPS, but to be honest it’s utterly overwhelming. My questions are 1.) Have you tried it? 2.) What issues were you trying to address? 3.) How long did you stick with the protocol? And, 4.) Did you notice any improvement?
**My Answer
Your question: “…but to be honest it’s utterly overwhelming”.
Here are 4 easy steps to embarking on any gut-healing diet, not just GAPS. These are universal principles.
Knowing the basics gets you into the race, instead of stuck on the starting block. You can always get more complicated later.
1. Cut Out The Sugar
Starve the undesirable organisms that are taking up residence in the gut by cutting out their food source.
They eat sugar. And not just white sugar - there’s sugar-sugar, starches in grains, and sugar in fruit.
One must stop eating all of this without delay.
There may be a time of adjustment while the body goes through withdrawals.
2. Eat Lots Of Fats, Cooked Veggies, Eggs, & Meats
These are the foods you will eat to keep you satiated.
If you’re already eating whole foods, it’s easy to prepare meals by cooking a main dish meat and accompany it with a generous veggie side dish. And always serve both with healthy fats like ghee, butter, coconut oil, lard, or tallow.
Work around allergies. Whatever foods you can eat in this category, eat up. You can also eat soaked or sprouted nuts and/or seeds, if you can tolerate them.
Buy the best quality of all the foods you’re eating - pastured meats, organic veggies, etc.
3. Consume Animal Broths & Soft Tissues
Broth is so soothing and provides nourishing (and protein-assimilating) gelatin, along with minerals.
It's really important for gut healing!
4. Eat Fermented Foods.
How can you re-populate your gut with the good guys? Through fermented foods! Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut…
A lot of people need to start slowly with these to avoid heavy detox symptoms. Do what your body can handle. Go slowly.
