Food and Grace
I'm not talking about praying at the dinner table. :) Today we had our homeschool co-op, and I learned that two of my boys were "teaching" the other kids that their snacks were unhealthy, and that donuts are full of chemicals (I told them about the Krispy Kreme Deconstructed article that I had read), and that if everyone just ate like us, they'd be healthy.... I had a talk with my boys about GRACE when we got home, and about judgement. And about not telling people "you're wrong for doing such and such" because people don't usually learn or make life-changes that way, and it just simply isn't polite. Farm…

1 Timothy 4 and Abstaining from Foods
This morning, I happened to read in 1 Timothy 4. (Note, I read from this 3 year Bible reading plan. 1 year plans are too much for my daily attention span. ;) This, I can actually read, process and retain throughout the day.) I have had 1 Timothy 4 quoted to me as Scripture that supposedly would say I am wrong to abstain from particular foods.

Supplements vs. Whole Foods
Once upon a time (when I was in high school), I embarrassed my brother (who was with me) by going into a GNC mart in the mall and asking if they sold any pills like the Jetsons had--you know--a whole meal in a pill? To my dismay, they didn't have any such "quick fix." I wanted it to be easy to get good nutrition. I don't think I'm alone. That's the biggest complaint I hear about the GAPS Diet (or eating whole foods in general): people don't want to cook whole foods, because it takes too much time, and they'll have to think too much about food, and they'll have…

It all begins in the gut, but it may not be your fault
This is Part 2 of “It All Begins in the Gut.†I’ve been thinking about this subject, and I wanted to clarify some things. I don’t want to give the impression that if you’re sick, it’s only because of something you did. It all begins in the gut, but not necessarily yours...

GAPS Diet: How We Got Started
I mentioned the other day that there were lots of health issues going on in my family. When I saw the cover of Breaking the Vicious Cycle, I knew I had to read it. “Diet for Chron’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Diverticulitis, Celiac Disease, Cystic Fibrosis and Chronic Diarrhea.” I didn’t know if I had any of those, I just knew I had some of the same symptoms. Another statement on the book is “Intestinal Health Through Diet.” That’s what I wanted. That’s what I needed. We actually got started on the diet before I ever read Gut and Psychology Syndrome. (So warning, we may not have done…
