Foods Eaten in the GAPS Diet
Foods eaten as part of the GAPS diet might be considered restrictive compared to the average diet. Mostly consisting of bone broths, vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat, shellfish, nuts, olive and coconut oils, herbs and spices, the basic diet aims to eliminate foods that the diet's inventor believes to be difficult to digest.
Because of the diet's strict exclusion of many foods, food preparation is a much more difficult process for those following the GAPS diet, which on average lasts from 1.5 to 2 years.4‘What Is the GAPS Diet?’ Food Insight, 13 Jan. 2021, foodinsight.org/what-is-the-gaps-diet/
