It has been some time since I posted here. I only post when I feel I need or want to. The subject must be important to me in order to want to share my thoughts with the few of you who may read this.   I am pretty sure that none of you know what exactly I do for work. Well, one small part of my job is redacting audio and video for the Police Department. Now that we have body cameras and a new recording system that small part of my job has increased. With that I now see and hear more than I ever did before. This week as I was redacting a case my gut hurt and I felt sick.

I finally found a Nutritionist who wasn’t going to break my budget and specifically works with people with Auto Immune Disease. I admit I was about to walk out of the appointment after the first few minutes as she was telling me about how blood sugar is controlled. Ummm…yeah got that and doing it. Still gaining weight and thanks for nothing. But instead I just shed a small tear and stayed put. Man am I glad I did. She told me about what she wants me to do.

GAPS includes the 3 main principles: 1) Healing the gut- by avoiding all foods that irritate it, and by consuming only foods that will nourish and heal it. 2)Repopulating the gut with beneficial bacteria- This is done by avoiding all foods that Feed bad bacteria/gut flora.As well as high quality probiotics are used to ac
