Something that started with an infection and now I can hardly eat anything. I keep getting acid reflux which leads to a constant sore throat.<br /><br />While so much of your information on GAPS was fascinating, I absolutely loved your ideas on ayurveda and benefits of vegetarianism , the philosophy and the main reason behind a vegetarian diet.<br /><br />I became a vegetarian in my teens, and have never regretted it. Thanks to a wide variety of Indian cuisine I have never missed meat or poultry (do eat eggs in cakes etc.) But with this recent activity in the stomach --(i hope it is temporary) I am considering some changes, although I still find it hard to think of consuming meat and broths. For a body that has not eaten meat in a long time, broths can be just as foreign (whenever I have accidentally eaten it, I burp it for the next three days).<br /><br />But as you said, to take it like medicine....or at least try other alternatives....thanks so much for this blog and pl. keep writing!!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324107.post-48016973030485808612012-12-22T09:06:46.544-08:002012-12-22T09:06:46.544-08:00Hi Vikash, A couple of things, a Gluten free diet ...Hi Vikash, A couple of things, a Gluten free diet must be 100% to see results (as in not even a bite of bread by mistake), and 100% for at least 3 months.

This book has a short section about vegetarianism, where she essentially says that she believes a diet as you mentioned would work. <br /><br /> I am not really sure which is better for dysbiosis - BED or GAPS: currently GAPS seems more popular, though BED had its days. GAPS did help my son a lot. But we had to move out after he stopped progressing. <br /><br /> I would try both - first BED (Body Ecology) because it is somewhat easier for vegetarians, then GAPS, perhaps. <br /><br />Best, VaishAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931015664706834407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324107.post-33068716781672859172012-10-26T19:02:24.331-07:002012-10-26T19:02:24.331-07:00Hi Sia,

Although I know that gut dysbiosis is at the root of my health problems, I just can't bring myself to start eating meat. I have been struggling internally with this decision for over 10 months because I know GAPS would be the best thing for me, but I've realized that meat-eating is just not going to happen. I am willing to do the broths, cod liver oil, butter and eggs. I cannot bring myself to eat chicken breast though, much less organ meats. Would you recommend trying gaps with these considerations in mind, or trying SCD or body ecology instead? I really don't know anything about the latter two.

Also bone broth is one of the healing pillars of the GAPS protocol. If you are able (and willing) to get bone broth from other sources, it might still be possible.<br /><br />If you do not want to try meat, I would suggest doing the SCD as a vegetarian (but not as a vegan), or the Body Ecology Diet which allows for vegetarianism. Do give at least 6 weeks for each diet before you phase off it.

So sauerkrauts are 'wild' fermented, which may not necessarily good for kids who are already immune compromised. I know a lot of kids make big gains when a lot of raw green smoothies are added to their diet. I am surprised you did not find BED as a 'healing' path...I know of some moms who have recovered their kids just with BED...it makes so much sense. Also, have you tried homeopathy? Homeopathy center of Houston is a sequential homeopathy place which can be of immense help ($$$ however). There is a great classical homeopath in NY (Pierre Fontaine) so that could be another choice. I prefer to by anonymous online, but can get in touch with you privately in case you are interested in discussing.

He did do well on the BED and did well on GAPS as well. Except for the meat broth and lack of grains, his current diet is very low in meat, so somewhat similar to BED.<br /><br />What you mention about Cultured Veggies is interesting. I hadn't thought of them being different from sauerkraut. What's the difference wrt healing? He does coconut kefir now anyway.

Have you looked into Body ecology diet? You could still remain a vegetarian and heal your child. Look into the bedrok forum (Body ecology diet recovering our kids). I could never step into the realm of Gaps because of all the meat. Raw foods are very healing when combined with Cultured vegetables (different from sauerkraut which have wild fermentation) and coconut kefir too. You could combine BED with Nutriiveda and Nordic naturals fish oil (2 EFAs : 1 EPA) for a great start into recovery. Then add powerful probiotics such as gutpro/custom probiotics/theralac, minerals such as quinton/Humic x1. All the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
