GAPS
Thanks to all of you who participated in GAPS Friendly Fridays last week!
I decided to create GAPS Friendly Fridays because there are a lot of great GAPS, SCD, Paleo, and Real Food bloggers out there with GAPS legal recipes! You don’t have to be on the GAPS diet to participate, but recipes that you post should be GAPS Legal.
If you have an SCD or Paleo recipe, it is most likely GAPS Legal or can very easily be modified to fit into the GAPS diet! The short version is that GAPS legal recipes are:
- All real food – no pre-processed ingredients
- Grain-Free (even alternate grains like quinoa and amaranth are excluded)
- Starchy veg free (no potatoes of any kind)
- The only sweeteners used are honey and fruit
- Only use aged cheeses such as parmesan, gouda, or cheddar, not fresh cheeses such as mozzarella or ricotta
- Adheres to the Weston A. Price Foundation’s principles.
This week’s featured post is from Dina-Marie at Dimes2Vines. Did you know that Osteoporosis and Osteopenia are common side-effects of celiac disease? Dina-Marie shares her experience of using the GAPS diet to improve her Osteoporosis – after menopause. It’s fascinating how the right foods can help our bodies heal!
Healing Osteoporosis with GAPS
If you’re unsure about a recipe, go ahead and email me at joy@theliberatedkitchenpdx.com and ask! I’m more than glad to check it out and suggest modifications if needed.
Don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to recipes, though! We also love to see book reviews, cooking tips and strategies, recovery and/or setback stories, etc. Anything you think will help other folks on the GAPS diet is welcome.
A couple of rules:
- Please link back to this post somewhere in the body of your post.
- Make sure you post a link to your post, not to the front page of your blog.
- Leave a comment saying what you’ve shared!
Thanks for participating! Please share on facebook, twitter, or wherever else you like!
Thanks for hosting ladies!
This week, I’m sharing my favorite way to stay out of the coffee shops. Spiced Cranberry Apple Cider is one of my favorite GAPS-friendly drinks because it feels indulgent but is super easy to make.
There are no extra steps that take up time, prep, or create a lot of dishes (coconut milk anyone?!). Best part, no added sweeteners needed!

Thanks for featuring my post – what an honor! Today I shared Grain Free Pizza Crust and Cure Tooth Decay.
Have a great week!
What interesting information about bone loss! Thank you.
This week I am sharing a raw strawberry “cheese” cake. I am pretty sure all ingredients are GAPS legal. But please let me know if not.
Have a fabulous weekend.
Hugs,

The “cheesecake” is legal! Thanks for sharing it, it looks divine
Hey! Thanks for the personal invite! I just wrote a post about one of my favorite dishes, Salmon and Cauliflower Curry, which is GAPS legal and full of healing ingredients. I make mine own nightshade-free curry mix and provide a link to a recipe for those who want to make their own.
Happy Friday! This week I’m sharing my recipe for Nirvana Pasta. Thank you so much for hosting!

Thanks for inviting me Joy! I shared my recent post on my healing journey, discussing how coconut oil has been helping me. I also shared my recipe for lactofermeted garlic — perfect for this time of year when flu and cold bugs are flying around! Love all the posts on here so far! So many great things!
Hi Joy!
I added my article about Probiotic Pills vs Fermented Foods. I thought it would fit with a GAPS theme.
Thanks for hosting!

I have been thinking how we need an article just like the one Melanie shared… Love it! I think I will second her and share how I believe fermented and cultured foods are missing from our diets today! http://amyherbalist.com/2012/10/14/fermented-and-cultured-foods/
Great to meet you all! Thank you for the invite… TGIF
Love, Blessings & Support, Amy Solis
Thanks for inviting me to share why grassfed meat is important to health. Here is the very first blog on my website, which goes into detail about the health benefits of grassfed meat. The Weston A. Price diet began to restore my health, but I still needed grassfed meat to give me strength. The combination of a WAPF diet and grassfed meat have been so important to my health and the health of my family!

Good morning, Joy!
I shared two GAPS-friendly posts and they’re related. One is a primer on baking with almond flour and the other a primer on baking with coconut flour.
Have a great weekend.
i’m sharing pemmican, or what my kiddos call “mommy’s meat muffins.” i hope raw dehydrated meat is GAPS legal. maybe not in the intro, but later on?
This is GAPS legal and looks amazing, but yes, for the Full diet. Thanks for sharing, Rebecca!

Thanks JoAnna,
You can get your link to show with a picture in the collection above by clicking on the blue button that says “Add Your Link” then typing in the information for it. The tricky thing is that the “Name” field is for the name of the post, not your name!

Thanks for hosting! This week I’m sharing my 5-minute explanation of what the GAPS diet is and why you might want to give it a try.
Hi – I shared two recipes, the first one I messed up and named it Divine Health, but it’s Kefir Leather! The second is the best chicken liver pate I’ve ever tried (and I’ve tried it many times)!
Thanks for inviting me and hosting!
Thanks for hosting! Great turnout this week!! I always try to share on Facebook. This week I’ve shared a post with ideas for GAPS legal Halloween candy. http://gapsdietjourney.com/2012/10/halloween-candy-gaps-friendly/
