I've made some progress. But. I've been doing the GAPS diet for over a year now. And for months, I've been wondering why I am not better than I am. I'm not expecting perfection. I don't think I'm
getting ahead of myself or being impatient. I just think there is something I am missing.
But there are other issues as well. Although I've had made improvement on GAPS, a lot of that improvement has been in the form of the severity of symptoms. I still have the issues--they are just not as bad as they were.
I don't want to discourage people who may want to give GAPS a try. I do think it's a good diet. I think that removing the hard-to-digest carbohydrates is a good idea, and I think adding in probiotics is a good idea.
Now I think I need some extra help. I'm praying about it and I talked to my husband about it. I want to find somebody who is capable and knowledgeable. I have a couple of ideas but I want to be confident in whomever I choose to go to because it is likely to be expensive.

I can understand your frustration. Does the diet make any "promises" of what the results will be? Do you think perhaps your expectations were higher than what the diet can deliver? I ask that because I've made changes in my diet, exercise routine, lifestyle, etc. before and expected too much from one thing. I'm glad that your issues have improved some. I hope you can find some guidance to lead you further along.
Hmm. I guess I wouldn't say it makes "promises," though the books talks about recovering from all sorts of things. And I think it does include the caveat that some adults may never completely recover enough to go off of the diet without having symptoms. There are situations where people are so far along in disease and sometimes people have had organs removed and that sort of thing. You make a good point though. And when I first felt better, that was amazing! but now it's not enough. Some food for thought.
I will keep you in my prayers. That little drawing of a frustrated lady is perfect. Fits me perfectly these days.
Thanks, Coreen! I appreciate the prayers. Yeah, sure can be frustrating!
