Well, I almost don’t believe it myself, but we’ve been grain and potato free for 8 weeks!  I doubted that we could even do it as my daughter and I were definitely carb-a-holics. If this was a weight loss diet, I would have quit!  But, I am committed to the healing that I know this diet will bring.  The last 8 weeks around here has been slow and quiet. This diet is a lot of work, and I have been absorbed in it. I have felt some changes occur and I am looking forward to more in the months ahead. I experienced some major die-off and detoxification during the first week of intro and intermittently through the first 4 weeks. For those that don’t know, the GAPS diet is composed of 3 stages. The first stage is the intro diet, second stage is the full GAPS diet, and the third and final stage is coming off the GAPS diet.
