January's Book: GAPS Diet

Several months ago, we explored the wonders of the BED (body ecology diet) to heal the intestine.  This month I thought Dr. Campbell-McBride's book was most appropriate since I started the GAPS diet myself recently.  I didn't start it on my own, a professional (who is both a nutritionist and GAPS specialist) is helping me through this whole process.

I started it because I'm realizing that my issues with Candida may be worse than I thought.  When I lived in San Diego, I felt like the healthiest person.  I almost NEVER got sick, I had energy to burn and it wasn't difficult to enjoy my life even when things didn't go my way.  Occasionally, Candida would get me, but I would take probiotics for about two weeks and then forget about it.  Marriage brought me to Colorado and as happy as I am with my marriage, I wasn't very happy with my new environment.  I seem to get sick pretty frequently, I am attacked by fatigue constantly and it's harder to enjoy my life because of this even though there is more in my life to enjoy.  I finally made the decision that I must heal.  Meat and vegetables are wonderful, but I can't spend the rest of my life dependent on nothing but meat and vegetables three times a day.  Maybe for the next two years when I'm on this diet, but not longer than that.  I like to eat vegan sometimes, but that will make me sick right now.

I thought that I would make both Campbell McBride's book and cookbook available since they would both be useful to anyone who is seeking healing like I am.
