GAPS is famous for healing illnesses of all natures incluing bipolar, autism, depression, ADHD, celiac and other digestive orders. With the holidays upon us GAPS does not need to be restrictive but instead can be highly nourishing and satisfying, especially with this delicious eggnog!
Be sure to test for egg whites before introducing them into your diet. Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD, neurologist and author of GAPS, says the best way to test for food sensitivities is to place a small portion of the food on the inside of your wrist before going to bed. Let it dry and remain there throughout the night. When you wake up in the morning check the spot. If it is red or inflamed your gut has not healed enough to introduce that food. Allow another few days or weeks (in extreme cases) to pass before trying again. Once your gut has healed through the GAPS nourishing and healing protocol you will be ready to advance with more food choices.

I’ve never liked eggnog–probably because I never made it! I think I will try it. Also, i found it interesting about placing small amount of food on wrist. If you don’t use/need GAPS do you think it would work to see if you have food sensitivities or allergies?
absolutely! from what i understand it works on everyone.
Glory hallelujah! What a GAPS treat! Thanks Becky!
