GAPS, Stage by Stage, With Recipes

Becky wrote the book for those doing the Introduction Diet of the GAPS Diet with a bit of direction for Full GAPS and Coming off the GAPS diet. I strongly suggest my clients get Becky's book whether they are doing the introduction or full gaps because she has fun recipes and a lot of explanations about what to look for as you progress through the diet. With many tips on a lot of different situations. I go to her book often for me and my clients when questions come up. The downfall is the black-and-white photos making it hard to see the food. Becky's told me it was too expensive to print her book in color. If you need color I suggest getting the Kindle version as well as the printed book. I use it every day.

I’ve been familiar with GAPS diet for about nine years. I truly thought I couldn’t justify purchasing this book when I already had so many other books about this therapeutic protocol. However, I was totally wrong!! This book is an absolute *treasure trove* of information and recipes. I consider this book essential for anyone who is planning to or already on GAPS. I’m currently going through the Intro phase for chronic Lyme and this book added so many new recipes and ideas, that I feel completely content to just stay where I’m at without the need to rush towards Full GAPS. The author includes a number of vital healing recipes you won’t find in other popular GAPS books and blogs. I never thought I would find being on Stage 1 & 2 for an extended period to be pleasant, but here I am absolutely enjoying it. Thank you so much Becky!!

This has some great recipes and solid additional advice! Becky knows her stuff! That being said it isn’t the prettiest set up in terms of lacking color pics and it has regular book pages rather than the glossy pages of a typical cookbook. Basically the set up could be better but the content makes this 5 stars regardless. Easy fix, put stickies where each stage begins and label the stage#.

I read the OG book and was still confused about specifics of the intro diet. It’s quite a lot of information to assimilate and get to apply in a practical way. So then I bought recipe books, including this one. It sat on my shelf for 3 months before I even opened it but boy am I glad I did. This book walks you through GAPS intro step by step. There is so much useful additional information that will help you navigate the more subtle aspects of the regimen. I’m not a fan of the BW photos - they’re blurry and I can’t really tell what’s going on most of the time. Could do without those. But they don’t detract for the book and, frankly, help me feel like I’m making progress in the book by taking up a little extra space. Look at all the pages I’ve “read”! I haven’t tried the recipes yet but just the structure and additional info is so helpful in getting me going again in this diet. I had so much confusion and it cleared it up. I highly recommend this to anyone - adult or parent - trying this way of eating. It can be intimidating growing literal live bacteria in your house and this book can help dispel any hesitation or confusion or reluctance. At least it did for me.

This book has been an invaluable part of my GAPs journey. It has tons of recipes, as well as info about each stage. I use it as a reference frequently!

This is a serious guide to a diet. Pictures are black and white, the information is important only if you are going to do the GAPS diet. Becky is also a functional practitioner and can be hired help you through a major gut repair diet. This is for people who have big health issues and need to repair themselves or a family member’s health. Highly recommend. I use this book along with the GAPS book everyday.

Get this book if you’re starting or have been on gaps. Or even if not- the recipes are great and she gives so much incredible info with the recipes on health. I’m glad this is the first gaps cookbook I purchased starting gaps
