I could no longer tolerate certain foods. I was incredibly bloated after eating. My bowel movements swung from between constipation and loose stools. My head was ridiculously foggy. I would no longer concentrate for long periods of time. On top of this, I endured debilitating bouts of vertigo, with increasing frequency.
Despite trying supplement after supplement, I saw no sign of improvement. I began removing some foods in an attempt to find out what was causing these issues and still nothing seemed to be making a significant difference, and my health continued to deteriorate.
I then stumbled across a GAPS webinar, which made so much sense to me. I started following the GAPS Protocol and before long my symptoms started to diminish, with some disappearing from the time I started on the GAPS Protocol.
I still remember the first time I sat down to have soup made from a base of chicken stock. It felt deeply nourishing. I knew this was just what my body and my mind needed.
Today I follow a blend of the GAPS Protocol and Paleo Diet, enjoying a lower carb and higher good fat regime.
Years ago, someone once said to me that from my post-marriage experiences, my greatest learning would come. Since regaining my health and being able to assist others to do the same, I realise this is absolutely right. If I had not been so unwell, I would not have found the GAPS Protocol, I would not be enjoying the level of health I have today, and I certainly would not have met so many inspirational people.
Life’s opportunities do not always look or feel like opportunities to begin with!
