Some of these food allergy symptoms are so vague - headaches, autoimmune disease, etc. If the allergy doesn't cause stomach upset as a symptom, how do you know when it is healed? Thanks!

It was pretty good! I’ve got a huge order of organic almonds coming from our co-op this Sunday and I’m curious to see how almonds, soaked, dried, and then made into flour compare to the coconut. // [...] [...] Since starting GAPS I’ve been curious about alternative flours, and coconut flour was the first non-grain flour that I’ve tried.

We're gearing up to start GAPS within the next few weeks. I'm trying to get well prepared as I know my 3 year old is going to starve himself when we start :( I've been practicing all the basic cooking and stocking the freezer so we're well supplied and I have a stupid question about the chicken fat... can you keep adding new hot fat to the jar in the fridge with previously saved fat in it?

I would do intro the best you can, I actually go off all supplements, even probiotics, for the intro. I'm so impressed that you're doing this overseas with importing ingredients, etc!

Ive just gotten all the books you mentioned, I need to do the GAPS diet to heal food allergies which are getting worse and numerous. I am also going to be moving back to the USA soon and so I'm holding off on doing it because the stress and changes will be hard to do while in a hotel during temporary housing, 1-3 months. I've been trying to make broths and removing dairy. i have been primal for 3 1/2 months as well. So I'm grain, sugar, almost dairy free. Lost 20 lbs!! I have some questions, I'm very allergic to corn, beef, soy, I suspect some lamb issues developing. Is it just as healthy to do chicken, turkey, fish, pork broths? (dont recall seeing pork even suggested??) I live in South America and organic is not heard of hardly at all, I import my coconut butter, making my own ghee, import almond flour, coconut flour. expensive but nice to have it. I get confused since the beef broth is so beneficial but would cause me harm for now. I've been on probiotics but switching to another brand, the natural ingredients have some sort of stimulant in them, i can't take after the morning or i'm all hyped up and cant sleep (dr. ohiras). Also ordered some digestive enymes. does it really work to do it part of the way? i read that it can actually create bigger problems. would love some advice, theres no one in this area who could even imagine what i go thru; I know this is what I need to do but not sure where to start... thanks again!
