You’ll find powerful first-hand stories from the authors, countless tips for traditional cooking methods such as fermentation and stock-making, beautiful full-color photographs to inspire and encourage, a wealth of in-depth resources, and wholesome, easy-to-prepare recipes. How does it work? GAPS, or Gut and Psychology Syndrome, is based on the revolutionary idea that diseases take hold when your gut ceases to function the way it should, and it seeks to address a range of disorders and chronic conditions that can be traced back to leaky gut and dysbiosis:
When passing gas is not cute anymore….
Everyone probably has that relative who just looooves to pass gas all the time! You may even have a nickname for that person. Here is the real story about that gas:
If your digestive system is not processing proteins correctly, an organic gas builds up from the proteins rotting. The acid starts to erode in the stomach. This is due to the lack of hydrochloric acids, not because of eating meats, per se.
If it is protein that is rotting, the process is called putrefaction. If it is carbohydrate that is rotting, the process is called fermentation. If fat is rotting, it is called rancification. If the stomach environment has the appropriate hydrochloric acid and pepsin, the putrefaction, fermentation, or rancification will not happen. If other words, if the foods is digested properly, there is no rotting.
Taking antacids if NOT the solution. They may give temporary relief, but makes the situation way worse than before. Not only does the antacid neutralize the acid of putrefaction, it also neutralizes your digestive acids. Then you have even LESS hydrochloric acid than before taking the antacids. Vicious cycle! This can lead to stomach or duodenal ulcers.

You are what you absorb!
Good health comes from good food, yet even the highest quality organically-grown food fails in its health-building qualities if the whole food goodness does not reach our body tissues. Enzymes are the key to digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients that Nature intends for our health and vitality.
Good digestion and assimilation of nutrients is painless and quiet. In fact, with proper digestion you should eat a meal and not even be ware that your food is digesting.
With poor digestion, one feels distressed and aggravated, sometimes during the most often after the meal. More people than ever are taking medications such as ‘acid blockers’ so they don’t feel their poor digestive processes. People often are taking antacids, laxatives and medications to treat symptoms brought on by years of poor food choices an decreased enzyme production.

Lessons in Nutrition!
Life itself is merely the activity of enzymes – anything that inhibits enzymes is detrimental to life…The enzyme itself is a functioning mechanisms. These mechanisms are subject to destruction by heat. And when any enzyme is heated, it is destroyed.”~ Dr. Royal Lee (1895 – 1967)
