    ❤❤❤❤. As a mother of a 17 year old special needs child, I applaud you for what you have done for you family. Other people who do not have a special needs child, will never understand the drive of a mother to figure out how to help their child. I am sorry you got so much back lash from people but in the end, you did great momma for your baby!

    As a 51 year old diagnosed with autism 5 years ago, I have never heard of the GAPS diet. However, 11 months ago I removed all grains, sugars (carbohydrates), and vegetable oils from my diet. The results have astonished me, alleviating the comorbidities of depression and digestive problems which I have suffered from all my life. It sounds like the GAPS diet shares the “low carb” approach, and although diet is NOT a “cure” (you can’t cure autism), there is no doubt in my mind that removing certain foods can play a huge role in aiding physical and mental health for we autistic folk. Thank you for sharing your story.

    So thankful for you to share all this. I started the GAPS diet almost two years ago. I was diagnosed with depression at thirteen and with Fibromyalgia at 32. I had become resigned to being sick and tired for the rest of my life. I had noted that most of my life I had upset tummies often (as a kid I called it "gooey belly" because my belly felt so liquidy and bloated). In 2013 or so a person handed me the GAPS book but I wasn't ready at that time to receive that a book from the "internet" could help. After drugs and doctors failed I became untreated. Then in late 2015, as I was describing my symptoms to someone they said the words "leaky gut" and the search was on for natural cures, to which I found the GAPS website and book again. In March of 2016 I cut out gluten, then dairy and seen some results. By september I had decided to start the GAPS diet, though I started it loosely. never truly moving beyond the intro and it was hard, but I noticed tremendous results. I began sleeping through the night, the pain and flares were gone. I could be touched and hugged again and felt amazing, and I lost almost 50 lbs. In the past year or so I have strayed very far from GAPS, though I still refuse to eat grains or dairy. I am now prepping to start over from Day 1 Intro and your efforts to help have been a true blessing. Beginning in March my 20 year old daughter and i are going to begin GAPS together. She had thrush and jaundice as a baby and has many symptoms that lead us to believe she needs to heal her gut. Though most symptoms of my FMS haven't resurfaced, a few have, I have also put the 50lbs back on by not eating what I should be and eating what i shouldn't be. Food is the cure for what ails us.

Your daughter is a beautiful girl (looking at your photos) and she looks happy and healthy. I am so glad you were able to do what you did for her. I believe all health does start in the gut (as GAPS indicates). I agree that a body's whole exposure to the outside world is dictated by the microbes in our gut. I am working towards that myself and hope to introduce some subtle changes to my father's diet (90 years old) to help him as well for this new year. Love to you and your family! XOXOXOXO

    Hi Cara, I have followed your journey from the very early days, when we were GFCF, we didn't know our boy had autism at that stage, simply a range of other Gut and health issues. Your daughter is a little older than my son who wasn't diagnosed until he was 6, so when I found a kindred soul in your blog, treating health issues naturally I was very comforted. Your blog and posts encouraged me to do GAPS with my son, the first time without not enough prep and knowledge, I basically burnt out but it was your blog that encouraged me to give it another go some 12months later. I went in again (this time with hubby's grudging support), all your notes, and meal plans etc. In two weeks we had eye contact. In six weeks week we had social awareness, and he asked to play soccer with the other boys. We stayed on the diet (there were of course some incidents) for roughly 2 years. Sleeping never improved but we definitely saw and to this day when we periodically revisit the full diet see HUGE changes in behaviour (both kids) and my boys ASD traits. My boy is 12 this year and not as open to GAPS anymore, he's suffered bullying and been ostracised because of what he is and isn't allowed to eat, but he's finally beginning to understand how food effects him. Keep up the awesome work, research and positive attitude you have no idea the difference you make to peoples lives. Big hugs and thank you.

    Great story, it only shows what early intervention can do. It is so powerful. If you had not changed her diet, geez. Just awesome. I had to go carnivore as well, I tried Paleo, then Paleo Autoimmune, it did not work that well. Through Natasha Campbell McBride (reading her books) I learned, that there are certain autistic people who can't digest plant foods. That's what opened me up to try something more drastic. And I also learned about oxalates through Sally Norton and Susan Owens (Susan Owens is a scientist and has worked with a group of autistics, and they found that by removing oxalates, they had a lot of success) Only by removing plants too and those High Oxalate foods - that's when I finally saw the change happening and reversed many things. Thank you so much for your inspiration. Your videos are great.

    its not passed through genes, it cant be, because it happens to children who have no family history of autism, you cant pass it on if its not there. Latest research points to autism being medical in nature, often co morbid with mitachondrial dysfunction, gut disorders, allergies, inflammation etc. the only way genes can play a role is if they mutate at some point, a strong enough attack against the immune system can do that, know what attacks the immune system? aluminium adjuvants in vaccinations, research on the effects of this are fairly new despite us being told theyre safe by cdc etc. The information they often spout is that aluminum is everywhere and we all consume it or inhale etc in small amounts, more than what is in a vaccine. this is misinformation, aluminium adjuvants have a different composition completely and they are not ingested, they are injected intramuscular, research from professor Christopher Exley has been able to show that the same aluminium adjuvant in vaccines is able to pass the blood brain barrier in the case of autism this aluminium has become intracellular, it is taking up residence in the brain directly affecting processes of the brain. Know what else dont get tested for mutagenesis? (mutation of genes) vaccines. most or maybe all arent tested for carcinogens or affecting fertility to. With the gut being the first line of defence for an immune system, its no surprise that restoring order and health to the gut has brought about some fantastic recoveries. its just such a shame what people have to go through to help their children, those people and their children though are an inspiration to us all. For anyone reading who isnt aware, silicon can remove aluminium from your body, drink a silicon rich water, and or eat some silicon rich foods, Christopher exley showed us that it will indeed drag it out through urine.

    Trying different stuff for autism: 1. Take a vit and min tablet. Autistic people are low on magnesium, selenium, vit d and probably other nutrients. Studies show magnesium and vit b 6 supplementation improves autistic people. Magnesium citrate is a good form of supplement . The enzyme pyridoxalkinase has low activity in in autistic. Improve it's activity by eating more phosphorus foods like seeds, nuts and beans. If you eat these foods , eat a chewable enzyme that has protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase,hemicellulase and phytase to break up the plant fibers in order to access the nutrients. Some studies have shown that gluten and casein free diets may be helpful. I think that you can avoid this by eating the chewable enzymes which will break down the gluten and casein proteins into amino acids. Studies have shown that autistic people are low in certain amino acids. Be sure to eat enough protein. There is a theory that autistic people have leaky gut syndrome. Iron deficiency can cause this, so take the multi vit and min. Also take a veg capsules that has Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential oils.

    I have a 12 yr old son on the spectrum who craves nothing but sugar, pasta and cereal. I try to get him to eat other things but i end up giving in so much of the time to avoid unpleasant situations. A lightbulb just went off in my head. Thank you so much for this information! I am going to try the Gaps diet over the summer break. I just ordered the book, and I'll let you know how it works!

    Great story and I'm so glad that your daughter is doing better. Taking minerals is also a great thing since the soil contains limited minerals in it when the crops are grown. We need to have 90 minerals in our bodies that need be in the vegetables and fruits we eat. Now days we are getting 14 to 16 minerals, which does not sustain our health. Even if you're on vegetable and fruit diet you still need to supplement to get all the trace minerals.

I've wanted to try GAPS for so long but it's been so daunting every time I think we are ready to start but I'm at the point where i regret not doing it earlier 😩 Anyways, thank you so much for all your videos!!!

    Watched this yesterday - think I told you - and this is very scientific approach. However I think it is both, genetics and epigenetics. You can definitely reduce autistic behaviour by eating the right way. However, I still have sensory issues, 46 years of age, but I can have seen the difference - back from when I ate dairy/gluten/high oxalate foods my autistic behaviour was way more pronounced. Your kids are lucky, that very very early intervention will save them from so much difficulties, I am sure about that. Wish I knew earlier.

    My daughter did the same. She didn't crawl until almost 2 and didn't walk until 3 1/2 and she didnt speak much at all until 3-4. She did sleep 10-12 hrs a night, both my daughters slept all night from birth thank all the gods 😄 I just left it be and now shes 5 1/2 and has completely caught up on her own. Idk if its autism, i wouldn't think so because autism isnt something you grow out of, right? Iher older sister is the exact opposite. Shes 13 and a genius haha she used a spoon and fed herself at 4 months and all her milestones were super early. Theyre 8 yrs apart amd since my oldest was super early and my youngest was late it made it seem like she was super duper late in comparison... Im so glad i didn't jump to get her diagnosed because thankfully she caught up. Not saying everyone child will catch up or that ppl shouldn't push for a diagnosis. It just worked out in my situation but i know it won't work the same way for everyone.

    Please please answer me. I'm on gaps diet for one year now with my daughter. Almost all symptoms are gone but only the speech is little bit delayed. I started just like you the diet completely without dairy products because a food sensitivity test shown she was allergic to casein. Can I give her homemade yogurt, Kefir, probiotic butter, ghee after one year? She is still sensitive to gluten and I think I should hold her diet gluten free forever. And do you recommend any supplement for speech delay?

    Thank you so much. This year last year with gaps diet was really hard. I started when my daughter was 5. So happy to see your daughter smiling and being happy. Gaps helped us so much. My daughter had a 30 words vocabulary. She didn't even say mom. She was so aggressive to herself, hurting herself. She just had 4 foods which she accepted pasta without sauce, sweet yoghurt, sausage and milk. Gaps diet changed our life. This year she will visit a normal school and is a happy girl. Every hard day was worth it. I love your channel and homepage. Found it just few days ago. May god bless you and your family. Thank you so much for your help. Greetings from Germany.
