The GAPS diet is a therapeutic protocol that systematically removes hard-to-digest foods (like grains, refined sugars, and processed items) and reintroduces nutrient-dense, gut-healing foods. Its core principle is to starve problematic gut bacteria while nourishing beneficial ones and allowing the intestinal lining to repair. Key elements include homemade bone broths, fermented foods (rich in probiotics), and easily digestible cooked vegetables, all preferably organic to minimize toxin exposure.

By combining these, organic food provides clean, chemical-free nourishment. The GAPS diet’s strict elimination and reintroduction phases offer structured gut repair, while Ayurveda’s holistic wisdom ensures digestive strength and overall balance, fostering a healing environment for tight junctions and versing intestinal permeability.

The role of Ayurveda in this is covered in the section on Ayurveda.
