GAPS Diet: Gut and Psychology Syndrome

5. Reintroduction Phase

The reintroduction phase is next. The GAPS diet guidelines suggest that reintroduction should begin after the person experiences normal bowel movements and digestion for a minimum of six months. Each food should be reintroduced one at a time, in small amounts, over a few days. Once the person is sure the new food is not causing any digestive issues, he or she can reintroduce another new item. People are still encouraged to avoid processed foods and refined sugars. Depending on how well the body tolerates each new food, this phase can take a long time.
