Sorry, WAPF is the Weston A Price Foundation. They are into "real foods" and basically follow the diet from the book Nourishing Traditions. I would probably suggest you get that book and get onto that diet first. It's a diet everyone should be eating and will help your whole family be healthy. I hear it's not well received by vegetarians as it pretty much says you have to eat meat, but I haven't read it yet (I will because it's the diet we intend to go to after GAPS).

Dr Campbell-McBride is pretty anti-vegetarianism and I found some of her comments to be condescending and not needed. But none-the-less I believe in the science of the GAPS diet so I'll take her bad bedside manner with it

GAPS is formulated around the specific carbohydrate diet (but adds some very important healing elements such as fermented foods and broth) so you may also like the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle but again I can't say because I haven't read it. Yet.

If you have eczema and had ABs at birth then sorry, but I really think GAPS is an excellent idea even if your son seems healthy. I thought my son was healthy up until about 2, 2 & 1/2ish. He stopped BFing at 2 and I think that's when the decline and regressions really started. Please know that I'm not trying to scare you that your son will be autistic, I just want you to realise that our perception of healthy is tricky because long term health is hard to see.

My plan for you would be:
-move onto NT diet. Do it slowly, start to cook some of the new foods such as sour dough bread and practice and get used to it. Take your time.
- After some time doing that (perhaps a year or more?) then do GAPS for about 6 months (or longer if you find it's working and you want to stick with it).

GAPS helps to really heal your gut flora and break the cycle of generations of gut flora decline. I find it very empowering to be able to reclaim our health. And honestly, now we've been doing it for 3 months I'm not sure why I thought it was so hard. I still don't drink broth myself though (the kids have it in their daily soup), I buy my sauerkraut, we're not doing kefir yet... there are many ways we are not doing the diet "perfectly". But you do it as it suits you. NCM writes the book to make you beleive you have to do it ALL. 100%. But of course she would- she has this amazing knowledge and she is obviously going to share the BEST way to get your body healthy. But you can absolutely do some and not all if you want. If you read the book and JUST stopped cooking in vegetable oil for example, well that would be one great improvement for your health The yahoo group is a good way to find out how other people are doing the diet.
