Get GAPS to Go, My 30 Day Meal Plan for the GAPS Intro Diet with Video Guides for Following Intro: bumblebee-apothecary.teachable.com/p/gaps-to-go/

[@amk1689]

I try to have at least one+ serving per day of live cultured food like homemade sauerkraut, yogurt from raw milk, or kombucha

[@almiraharris3092]

hi im from indonesia.. im interested in ur meal plan.. but wondering whether the staples on ur meal plan will be easy to find in my country.. can u please give some highlights? thank u😊

[@MorganeK]

I smiled when I saw you pray before your meal, I was wondering if you were a Christian 😊 We are a Christian family and the Lord brought me to your channel. My husband has Crohn’s disease and we are preparing to try the GAPS diet in a few months 🙏 Thank you for all you share, God bless you!

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thank you! Yes, I am a Christian :)

[@alina-soapery]

Thanks again for your beautiful advice!! You know in Ukraine we have all of it)) this is really interesting, I mean as our general meal: sour cabbage ( we have so many recipes without adding water, natural fermenting in its own juice) and kefir ( just we put full milk in warm place, not direct sun, and we having milk with pure bacteria, without any additives even from pharmacy, here we are avoiding them, because loving natural things)! So great to find perfect person who are from nature))) and using recipes of our grandfathers ( from Ukraine too, lol) and our root’s knowledge, wise ones!! Thank you for spreading and sharing ))))

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Oh this is such a wonderful comment! Thank you so much :) I am trying my best to keep these things from traditional wisdom alive!

[@Urbanfrugalchic]

You are a real super mom! Your family is so blessed.

[@traceybarnett1103]

You really are a great mum. I love how you nourish and educate your children ❤

Thank you so much! :)

[@gablejr6]

Sounds like the GAPS diet gives you all the energy you need, too!! Great video...thankful to see you pray before dinner and your husband's Bible on the table, too. God Bless your family!

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thank you so much!

[@Alison_Ann]

Loooooved this video!! Would love to see more videos like this “day in the life”, recipes (food and body care), parenting, etc. I get what you’re saying about the makeup. I do the same thing too...nothing wrong with feeling a bit better after having done your makeuob❤️❤️ Also have to add that I love that you all pray before your meal 🙏

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thank you so much!! 😃💖

[@ouroilyhouse]

Loved this video!! I love the ways you get the kids to drink their stock! Your kids are so adorable!

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thanks so much!! 😊❤️

[@mel.melly.]

Thank you! I loved this💕 Really cute ideas for the kids! I find the most challenging thing is entertaining the kiddies while im in the kitchen preparing so much🙈

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

I'm so glad, thank you! Yes, I find that for my kids, having some structured time where they play on their own is helpful. Also, depending on your kids' ages and abilities, there could be ways they can help in the kitchen :)

[@mycupofcocoa1125]

Love the book reading and sipping the broth with prizes

[@Aniar_bkwds]

Love this video ❤️💙💜 please don't stop. Maybe what your kids or your family eat in a week? 😉

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thanks, I'm so glad! I'll do more :) Great idea, thank you!

[@cassiesnyder2591]

Hi Marissa! Do you have a recipe for the cabbage tonic? Also, do you have a video on how to make GAPS more affordable?

[@chiarad4080]

Would love a video on how to make GAPS more affordable !😊

[@DH-en4th]

Could you make a video with tips you think would allow working people to do GAPS? I would love to be a stay at home mom such as yourself, but I work full time if not more. P.S. I love how your family is working together to raise healthy happy kids for the Lord!

[@liriotomporowski6727]

Love this video so inspiring how you manage your time with your kids and your work. Thanks for sharing your daily routine. More videos like this.

[@davidshim7242]

your probably the best mom ever almost

[@camillecoltman115]

This is so helpful!! You are so inspiring and amazing! Thanks for sharing your life and inspiring the world to be a healthier place!

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thank you so much!

[@wendyplear82]

I loved this! Very helpful. Questions: How often do you filter through the gaps stages? How long have you been doing gaps? It would be great if you could do a "what I eat in a week" for each stage. Love how your showing those with littles how to help encourage them to drink the broth. Do they get tired of the meals? Do the meals keep them full or do you do snacks for them in between meals? Once again, thanks for helpful content! 🤗

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thanks, I'm so glad! This is only the second time that we've gone through the intro stages. The main reason is that I'm taking training to become a certified GAPS coach, and one of the requirements is to go through GAPS intro. We're all doing it because I figured we could benefit from it. Great idea to show our week of meals! I'll add that to my videos to do :) They actually don't get tired of the meals! I do try to add as much variety as I can, which helps. But they enjoy it! They also eat a lot at meals. And, I find that they stay full between meals and usually don't need snacks. :)

[@mary-katezepf3751]

Thanks for this video! I am always so inspired by you. I really found your tips for keeping eating new and healthy foods fun for children. I have two littles and another on the way so that was great!

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Oh wonderful, thank you so much!

[@amandalinhitt]

great idea for the stickers for incentive with meat stock. where do you get the stainless steel cups with silicone lids that are insulated? do you have a link you can share?

[@joanclaytonjohnson3630]

You have a beautiful family. Loved seeing the chickens. I had a pet chicken named penguin years ago. Love the natural life you show.

[@CD-yx2zn]

Amazing super mom!!! Love your routine, sooo inspiring 😍❤️

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thank you so much!!

New subscriber here. Loved this video. I really enjoyed your videos about beef tallow

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Awesome! Thanks for subbing, and I'm so glad you like the videos! :)

[@markwarnes7374]

Thank you so much for your videos. i noticed you cooked up bacon for breakfast and I was wondering your opinion on smoked pork products? We raise organic, pasture fed pigs and our butcher gave us the option to smoke the bacon and hams. We are preparing to start the GAPS diet and I would really appreciate your help. Would our smoked pork be GAPS approved or should we forgo the smoking?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

I think I just replied to this somewhere else also :) That's great when you can be in control of the process! It depends on what they use to smoke them. You want to avoid all artificial flavorings and preservatives. If all the use is natural wood smoke, it should be fine :)

[@camrynadele]

Hey! Your videos are really helping me. I am reading your blog about supplements - when did you start to add fatty acids, cod liver, digestive enzymes? I’m on the intro diet. I don’t want to add too quickly! Thank you!!

The hard work you put in is incredible and very encouraging. Thank you for the lovely videos and recipes! I was wondering if you have any recipes for sweets (smoothies, healthy-ish cookies, cakes etc)?

Where do you source your chickens when you are out of your home grown? We are down to our last two for the year and looking to buy some to tide us over. Thanks!

[@fox1212-r7t]

Dear marissa may i ask you where the stainlesssteel cups with the straws are from. My son always needs time to drink his broth which will get cold after time. In the first stages of Gaps you need to drink a lot from the fermented juice for example from sauerkraut but how do i get a lot of it? There is not enough liquid from making sauerkraut that will last several days and meals...

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Great questions! I have the cups we use here: www.amazon.com/shop/bumblebeeapothecary Yes, instead of sauerkraut, cabbage tonic works better for the beginning of GAPS when you need more liquid. Dr. Becky has a recipe in her book "GAPS Stage by Stage with Recipes" and I plan to do a video soon :)

[@KS-ys8vu]

[@CVenza]

Great video!

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thanks!

[@beckymartin6540]

How do you make the cabbage tonic? Please

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

I need to do a video on this! It's also in Dr. Natasha's book :) amzn.to/3qOBiVZ

[@naturelady6750]

Thank you!!!

[@larascanlon7798]

I love this video. Thanks for sharing. I just subscribed to your channel and I am embarking on stage 1 of the diet so I am just really getting started. I have two questions: 1) Do you use a berkey water filter for your water for filtering all water for the gaps diet? and 2) do you include a teaspoon of fermented veggies/ sauerkraut with each meat stock meal right from the start of the diet?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thank you! Yes, we use the Berkey to filter all of our drinking and cooking water. The amount of liquid fermented food to start with is very individual, and only your body can tell you the right amount to start with. Some people can start with a teaspoon, while others have to start with one drop in an entire pot of soup. I have a free class here on starting GAPS: my.demio.com/ref/2znHBvku8txu1OSd

[@holisticnutritionacademy]

Great video! Question: what do you do with the leftover skim milk after you scoop off the cream?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Thanks! With the fat skimmed off, it isn't good for much of anything as far as us consuming it. I usually let it sour and then give it to our chickens :)

[@holisticnutritionacademy]

@@bumblebeeapothecary Yes I figured you'd give that to the chickens, haha. Do they enjoy it then?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

@@holisticnutritionacademy They love it! It's thick like yogurt. They eat it right up 😊

[@chelseareedberry118]

What do you feed your chickens?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

We feed them table/cooking scraps and organic feed from a local feed store :)

[@TheLeisamarie]

Do you use the menu plan you link to below the video? We have a variety of diet needs and I am wondering if it's possible to vary the menu to allow for that. Their site doesn't directly answer my question

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Yes I have! It is quite flexible, and you can customize it to pretty much any dietary need. Hope that helps!

[@mjt4663]

Good video

[@angelikakopek]

A couple questions…..how do you make the beet concoction you added 1 tsp to your water in the morning? Also, where do you get your kefir grains. I cannot get raw milk in my state

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

It's beet kvass, and here's how I make it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIrGhXV4bJWXp5I I got these kefir grains and really like them: amzn.to/3kFnT08 I would check realmilk.com as they've been able to get it legal in almost all 50 states now!

[@roseyrose7070]

Are you and your family planning on buying a bigger home? Since you're having the new baby this year? :) Thank you for sharing this video. I'm doing the full GAPS diet. People are shocked when I tell them that but I have a very wrecked gut. If I don't eat the meat stock soup I get sick.

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Good for you for following GAPS! The real estate market is really crazy here right now so I don't think anything would be available for us anytime soon. We would love to move to where we could have some land at some point, though :)

[@RestorationAcresTN]

@@bumblebeeapothecary If you aren’t tied to a particular area, check out the south west corner of Tennessee. We moved down here from southern Indiana this summer & it’s wonderful and Homes with land are still pretty affordable here.

[@Dofaa]

what do use for cooking eggs? is it Butter?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Either butter or lard :) Sometimes both!

[@mariyoreo]

What are you growing in your garden?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Pumpkins, summer squash, winter squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, melons, beets, and herbs :)

[@damarispena57]

How long do you stay in each stage through the gaps diet?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

It's very individual! Most people are only on stage 1 for a few days to a week, and stage 2 is where a lot of the healing happens. Only your body can tell you when it's time to move on. If you add avocado and old symptoms come back, you're not ready for stage 3 yet. You have to go back to stage 2 and spend longer there. Hope that helps!

[@amk1689]

I am thinking about trying GAPS after I saw a lecture by Dr. Campbell-McBride on You Tube. Wow! I’m blaming/crediting you with making me aware of it. But I am wondering... is this the diet where all the food one eats must be freshly prepared and nothing left over or re-heated?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Good question! It depends on the person. If a person is histamine intolerant, they have to prepare everything fresh. If a person doesn't have a histamine intolerance, they can eat leftovers just fine. Hope that helps!

[@amk1689]

Bumblebee Apothecary It does help, thank you

[@mitzimeyer2928]

Bumblebee Apothecary How would you know if you are histamine intolerant?

[@hollybrannan145]

I have been reading and trying things but keep defaulting to our awful American diet. When I try things, I realize I’m never fully prepared. A big part of the GAPS diet is to make the stock and I get that part but I can’t wrap my head around preparing the sauerkraut, beet kvass, etc. Do you have any suggestions how to add those preparations into your day? It looks like after the meat broth is started you work on one extra thing. Does that sound right?

[@hollybrannan145]

Also, where do you store all your fermenting items?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

That's a great question! Part of it comes with practice. It definitely gets easier as you go! I try to batch prepare things. So like you said, when I'm already in the kitchen doing meal prep or whatever, I'll start stock going, and then work on something else. For fermented items, you don't have to make those every day. I will often pick a Saturday once a month or so, and make a few different fermented vegetables. The dairy like kefir and yogurt you do make more often, but those are so easy. I store my ferments on the kitchen counter while they're fermenting, and then I'll move them to either the refrigerator or down in the basement. I hope that helps!

[@hollybrannan145]

@@bumblebeeapothecary thank you! Yes that makes perfect sense.

Do you guys do GAPS all the time?

[@jennyberger6688]

So basically you can’t have any other meet other than veggie and chicken for the first month until you’re at stage for where you can add in red meat

[@stephaniephilippou702]

Can I ask how long it took your family to get through the Intro stages of GAPS?

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Some of us have been through it more than once, so it varies! I recently did it myself a couple months ago, and it took me about a month. But it's very individual! My son was on stage 4 for about 9 months before moving to full GAPS.

[@learnedeldersofteemo8917]

Did you tried animal blood for drink? Is so much life in there, beef blood my fave.

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

I've never tried that! Dr. Weston A. Price saw very healthy cultures who did it, though!

[@lizaryder5219]

Sounds like your grains are dead. You should get new ones.

[@bumblebeeapothecary]

Really? I asked Monica Corrado (the GAPS chef) about it and she said if kefir is still being made, it's okay... but I think I will try new ones just the same.

[@lizaryder5219]

Try leaving just milk out and leaving the kefir out and see if there is a different. You could just be making sour milk. I have suspected it before with my grains and I got new ones and I was right my new ones were so prolific they grew and grew
