Diet Theory
GAPS stands for "gut and psychology syndrome," which is Dr. Campbell-McBride's theory that the digestive system plays a key role in the brain's health and any subsequent mental health ailments that may occur.
The first step in the GAPS diet is to eliminate many foods that are detrimental to the digestive system. The second step is maintenance followed by the third step, when many foods are slowly reintroduced into the diet .2‘GAPS Diet.’ U.S. News & World Report, U.S. News & World Report, health.usnews.com/best-diet/gaps-diet
