Re: Beneficial Gut Bacteria & ADHD

[Anonymous]

Dear Bill, I know it’s been two years since you posted to this site for this question.

First, I know we are highly intuitive beings, but I also know we have had a lot of emotional turmoil in our lives, and thus, our intuition needs healing more often than not. So, when someone dismisses new ideas, be wary of where they are personally coming from. Some people just want to dismiss new ideas…period.

That being said, yes, the GAPs diet does work on Autistic, ADHD, and other Learning Disabilities, if it happens that your gut has weak spots in it. The doctor, who wrote it, also wrote: ‘Put your heart where your mouth is”, for those who suffer heart and cholesterol problems, to better understand how the GAPs works. In my culture, we don’t ferment vegetables with whey; we eat canned green beans, or crushed olives, beets or green tomatoes in a vinegar and raw olive oil base. They are all a form of fermentation, so it is not necessary to become “Eastern European” to eat alla GAPs, I sure couldn’t stomach vegetables in whey. Even though I have never tried it, it just sounds too yucky for me.

Also, if you happen to like sauerkraut, but get a headache from it, it is because your Histamines may be too high…so waiting 10 to 20 days for the sauerkraut to age will lessen the reaction and it will still provide you with the needed bacteria.

I would also go see about checking your digestive system with a BIE or a Chiropractor to help speed the healing process. If you have tried it, let me know how far you got into it, and the results.

I am currently trying it myself. I have noticed I sleep sounder now. I also am seeing a bioenergetic intolerance elimination practioner, which of course someone will tell you is a lot of hooey…but it isn’t. I no longer get bloated when I eat bread ! And, no “anecdotal” evidence isn’t enough for a hard core cynic, but, heck, at least I am getting healed, and my positive attitude is helping more than someone stuck in a mean-streak from hell. LOL…. BTW, my MD says that at my age, the Placebo affect lessens to a 17% or less, so, therefore I am not making this up and it is not a placebo effect, it is the result of a 2 appointments with the BIE practioner who uses Meridian points to eliminate food intolerances and allergies. .
