HONEY. The GAPS recommends choosing honey as the sweetener of choice.

In custard recipes, egg yolks are often preferred over whole eggs. The difference in using whole eggs versus egg yolks comes down to the volume and properties that the white and yolk impart: Egg yolks provide fat which contributes to a creamier texture and a more pronounced flavor.

Fruits in the GAPS Diet are only allowed in moderation: Apples. Banana. Berries.

One of the major risks to the GAPS diet is how restrictive it is. Some of the ways it can be harmful include: Time and stress: People whose children have disabilities or medical conditions are already under a higher amount of stress than other families.

Setting Unrealistic Goals. Telling yourself you'll lose 20 pounds your first week is probably setting yourself up for failure. If you know you won't be able to do it, you may never start your diet in the first place.

Coffee tips

I encourage you to avoid it completely for at least the first six month of GAPS, while your nervous system and hormones are regenerating. In addition to the stress of the caffeine and other chemicals in coffee, it's heavily sprayed with pesticides, and decaf is processed with terrible chemicals.

Other cheeses that are allowed on Full GAPS: Asiago, Blue, Brick, Brie, Camembert, Cheddar, Colby, Edam, Gorgonzola, Gouda, Havarti, Limburger, Monterey Jack, Muenster, Parmesan, Port du Salut, Roquefort, Stilton, Swiss, Romano, un-creamed cottage cheese (dry curd).

Is bacon allowed on GAPS diet? ›

Selecting the right bacon is important: GAPS does not recommend smoked meats as they normally contain nitrites or other substitutes that are even worse than nitrites with alleged cancer causing agents so store bought bacon is out (including some nitrate free commercial brands).

Foods to Avoid (or Limit)

Grains, including cereal, oats and wheat. Sugar, honey, agave syrup, and molasses.

Egg custard is a variation on cream custard. Egg custurd is a tick rich creamy sweet or savory dessert, made mixtures of eggs or egg yolks, milk or cream, flavorings (vanilla, nutmeg, etc.) and optionally, sweeteners (sugar, honey). Basic custards are thickened and set by eggs alone.

This is most likely due to the cooking temperature being too high. When cooking your custard base, make sure the temperature of your custard does not go higher than 185°F (85°C). This will cook the custard enough to pasteurize your eggs, but will not result in an eggy flavor.

Vegan diets exclude meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products, as well as foods that contain these products.
