Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.

It’s been since this post that I’ve done a GAPS update and I figured it was time for another one.

I’m half on full-GAPS, half stuck between stage 5/6.

GAPS Status: It’s complicated.

• I’m going great guns with raw veggies – stage 5
• I’ve introduced some very ripe banana – stage 6
• I’m eating coconut cream – some say stage 3 or 4, others say stage 6/Full GAPS (it’s one of those nutritional grey areas that tends to come down to personal tolerance)
• I can go a day or two without bone marrow or connective tissue and still seem to function normally (but still have my broth daily, or double up doses if I’m planning to miss a day of slow-cooking for whatever reason. Read why here)
• However I’m yet to introduce apple (except for the tiniest amount fermented in sauerkraut)
• I don’t think I’ll be doing any sweet baking for a long time – maybe ever. I’ve really outgrown the sweet cravings for cakes and biscuits and would rather just stick to these muffins (which by the way I now make with activated macadamias, melted coconut oil (no butter) and farm fresh eggs … next level satisfaction!)

I’m loving the increased variety of foods I’m tolerating and am even branching out with the types of veggies I’m buying; lots of fresh parsley, baby beets, zucchini and a lot less reliance on cauliflower!

My next post will be a day on my plate update, to give you all a glimpse of my now, less soup-relaint diet.

Yours in love, giggles and gastrointestinal obsession,

Rachie
