    That's it, I'm ready now! My job finishes at the end of the month, and I'm just not well enough to look for another one. Need to build myself back up with GAPS!

    So now I'm trying to find an idiot proof do/don't list. And someone to cook it all for me
    Pretty sure I already offered to cook for you love... Any help, I am HERE!!! xx
    Prob the most important baby step is to make some chicken broth and drink drink drink it. Mum and Grinny have just been doing that and nothing else and have already noticed their clothes are looser and they feel different. Then as your knowledge grows, add in one thing at a time, like look up GAPS breakfasts and concentrate on changing them over. Once thats all good, go to lunch, then dinner, then snacks all the while drink drink drinking your broth. The broth is the main healing food and should be drunk a LOT. I drink it with every meal and even between meals. Once all your food is good, then you can make some fermented foods and start adding them in with your meals and then you'll be doing full GAPS!! When you're ready and starting to feel better, you can go back and do intro. It seems so much more complicated than it really is.
    My fave broth recipe that Wade loves and my boys love too is :
    cut a whole antibiotic free chicken into 8 pieces (Mt Barker is antibiotic free)
    use 1 piece for the pot, put the rest of the pieces into small zip lock bags and pop in the freezer.
    add 1 carrot, 1 celery stick with it's leaves, 1 onion and a good small handful of celtic sea salt (buy from the health food shop-should be greyish colour and look damp) then fill the slow cooker with filtered water and pop on low for a night and a day. It should be a golden colour when done. Drink til its cool, then use a colander over a bowl to tip it all out, collect the meat and veggies, either throw them out or take the meat from the chicken and eat, and refrigerate the liquid, heating in a pot on the stove when wanting to drink it.
