Cherished, in a nutshell- I think everyone needs to read the GAPS book so I'd suggest getting yourself a copy and having a read. You needed the ABs so don't sweat it. They have their place and when used when needed what can you do? Just look to the future and how you can recover yours and your son's gut flora.

Your son may be fine (though I'm feeling that pretty much ALL of us are living at below optimum health as a result of generations of ABs, refined food and other factors) but will his children be? It's up to you whether you wait and see if he needs health assistance later (though it can be harder to do diet interventions with older children), or if the health of his children are your concern, or his. Personally, I'd go with a GAPS, or close to GAPS healing protocol. But it's probably obvious I'd feel that way! It's seriously not the scary diet it looks like once you're just a few months in. WAPF is a great way to go without being hardcore too- you can still have grains with a WAPF diet! And get kick arse probiotics (bio-kult is the brand recommended on GAPS but there are other top notch brands too).

Lions&Bears- I wanna go to the WAPF conference. I've decided I'm going next year!!
