FYI:
Gut and Psychology Syndrome
by Natasha Campbell-McBride
This book is a well-researched, science-based summary of the genetic-nutritional-biochemical factors that link Autism, ADD, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Depression and Schizophrenia to digestive dysfunction. Dr. Campbell-McBride applied her training in neurology and nutrition to help her own autistic son.
The GAPS diet brings together the best of the dietary aspects that are helpful for both gut dysfunction and mental or developmental issues. This brings together aspects of the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate diet), gluten and casein free approaches, restoring digestive balance, and clearing toxins.
This approach is also effective for allergies, sensitivities, digestive dysfunction and many other physiological conditions.
This resource page was compiled for people who have attended my presentations on GAPS, but may also be helpful for anyone else doing (or thinking of doing) the protocol, especially if you're in New Zealand.
