However, based on my personal experience, I believe that you need to be very careful that you are getting enough carbs to support your body's needs. With the information you've given I would be inclined to go ahead and do the GAPS Diet for my child, but to add in extra squash, apples, carrots, or even sweet potatoes and soaked grains for myself. I urge you to remember that you are an expectant mother so your body has different needs. The 2010 edition of Gut and Psychology Syndrome has a Part Four section specifically about Pre-conception and Pregnancy. That section has a lot of good information in it. Don't disregard it or ignore it because it's too bothersome to cook up extra food just for yourself. That's what I did and I am paying for it now. I believe those potatoes, sourdough, and soaked grains are super-benenficial to a pregnant/lactating woman. Best wishes to you as you start this journey and congratulations on your growing blessing!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817708823329696212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735887036369814967.post-48977201794908564922013-11-07T15:39:16.316-06:002013-11-07T15:39:16.316-06:00Hi Janice, my question is: is the GAPS diet safe d...Hi Janice, my question is: is the GAPS diet safe during pregnancy. I'm currently pregnant, my oldest son has SPD, and is on Feingold. We've seen some major gains with that, but lately, it seems like we're just spinning our wheels with regression, and there are more and more food sensitivities every day! I'm desperate to see some permanent change for my little 4 year old treasure. If you have the time and energy to respond, I'd definitely love to hear your answer! Thanks in advance!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872202605541847082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735887036369814967.post-23414895682696769522013-07-23T21:41:16.470-05:002013-07-23T21:41:16.470-05:00Hi Janice,
Thank you so much for taking the time ...Hi Janice,<br /><br />Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my comment; I can only imagine how busy you are right now with 5 children. I am very sorry to hear of your health problems. Whenever I research anything, I try to examine it from all sides, looking at both the potential good and the bad. I guess at some point you just have to go with your gut (no pun intended), make a decision, and move forward. I still haven't come to that decision yet regarding GAPS, but your experience has given me a lot to think about. I have a 3 YO with FPIES and autistic-like symptoms (mild, but they're there) and a nursing 8-month-old who also has persistent GI troubles even with me eliminating many, many foods from my diet (haven't started him on solids yet but I have a feeling he is going to react to everything). I have read of GAPS helping to heal both FPIES and autism, but I certainly don't want to swap one set of issues for another. <br /><br />Thank you again for sharing your experience. I pray you will experience a full recovery and feel better very soon.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
