Caroline,
Thank your tremendously for introducing the GAPS book to me.
My son has been on a GF/CF diet since June and we noticed big improvement in his behavior following - his moods have been more even, his focus has been greater, and we've had less irritation overall. However, because he is allergic to eggs, we continued to feed him oatmeal (gluten free, prepared with water and a small amount of rice milk) for breakfast. We did notice, that even with the GF/CF diet in place, our mornings were always difficult, and that my son's mood inexplicably improved as the day progressed. (Worth noting, as well, is that when we went on holiday and were unable to maintain the GF/CF - my son was like a drug addict with the croissants - all of the "crazed" behavior returned, many fold.)
The morning after reading the GAPS book I decided to, as a trial, eliminate the oatmeal for a few days. Concerned about his caloric intake, I doubled up on breakfast sausage (no preservatives and/or chemicals). The results were nearly immediate and quite remarkable. On the same day I noticed that the morning (generally his cranky period) went very smoothly, no temper flare-ups, and he was far more cooperative, talkative and cheerful than usual. Impressed, I called my husband to report these results realizing that we were on to something. The next day (Saturday) we tried again, and again a much calmer, much happier child, which my skeptical husband saw for himself. Obviously we have now eliminated oatmeal from his already GF/CF diet - in many ways it has made our life much easier.
We have yet to implement the rest of the GAPS diet, but we'll get there. Happily it has already brought us one step closer to recovering my son.
Thank you again,
Nina

"I made some changes a few years ago and Caroline suggested I go off wheat and gluten. I had no idea that it would make such a profound change in my well being. Within a few weeks, my chronic sinus problems ceased. I had two previous sinus surgeries in the past with no change. I felt fantastic! When she recommended Metabolic Typing to me, I went straight away and found that the food plan was so simple and easy. Now I've lost even more inches from my waist and my son comments on my six pack. I'm so pleased with the sense of well being, improved energy and mood and the belief that I'll have this great health well into my advanced years."

"I had always been led to believe that following a mainly vegetarian diet was healthy, but I found that instead of feeling lighter, healthier and more energetic, I was always feeling run down, sluggish, lethargic and fatigued all the time. I also wasn't sleeping properly. Then I discovered Metabolic Typing, and after taking some extensive and detailed tests, I discovered that my body type doesn't do well on a vegetarian diet. As I started to follow my new, personalized diet for my body type, within the first week, I found that I had more energy, and was sleeping better. Over the weeks I noticed that an old skin wound I had just healed up, and an old muscle ache I had also disappeared. I now realize that “one size does NOT fit all”, when it comes to following a health regime that is suitable for you. I've learned to be careful not to just follow whatever is the current fad in health, diet and fitness. What I like most about the Metabolic Typing diet is that we are encouraged to listen to our body, and take our cues from the response we are getting from our body. We are all unique, and the metabolic typing system teaches us to develop a personalized program that takes into account the requirements of our own individual body, to achieve optimum health."

"I have been following the Metabolic Type eating plan for over a month now and have never felt better! It has been one of the few diets that has actually worked and is very easy to follow with my busy work and social schedule. It is amazing how eating the right foods for your type can make you feel… I have never felt so healthy or had so much energy. This eating plan has set me up for life, there is no going back!"
