Thank you for your encouraging site! I am seemed to have come to a stand still at stage 5 as I seem to introduce new fruits and veggies and whole nuts too quick and eat too much too fast and get a stomach ache then get frustrated.
I've been praying for encouragement from God to keep going and show me what to inroduce next and keep up the energy to cook every night and pack homemade food for lunch and snacks at work. My job requires me to travel and attend many social functions and it is hard to not be awkward and keep saying 'no thank you' to foods offered to me as I don't know what's in them, and many are starch based.
I guess we have to think of this journey in terms of the greater rewards with each step and efforts are not in vain. Amen!

In reply to Terri Ward. Hi Terri. <3 I haven't been on GAPS since last year, but boy, do I remember agonizing over that very question. I still don't know the answer. With eggs I personally would take it slowly. Have you tried the wrist test? My oldest son, with the egg allergy, would get instant hives with the wrist test. My son with eczema can have eggs, with no problem, although I can't remember any more if eggs ever made it worse. Hives and itchiness I think are a sign to back off and wait. It's been so long, I don't feel qualified to answer your question! Have you joined a Facebook group for GAPS? That helped me a lot, although it did confuse me at times too. My best guess would be to wait on the eggs. **Hugs** I remember being where you are. It WILL get better. Hang in there. <3

My daughter and I are on stage two of intro. I am worried about introducing egg as the first time did she vomited the next day. The second time, a few weeks later, she got itchy throat runny nose and her tics got worse. That was a few weeks ago. You say that your son with excema has eggs. Did his excema worsen when you introduced eggs. If so was this a sign to stop and leave it for another few weeks? I’m not sure what to do. Are any symptoms a sign to back off that food or is it a sign of healing. I want to move on but I’m unsure of what to recognise as signs that I’m doing the right thing. We have been on stage two for about 6 weeks. Help.

I really enjoy your GAPS updates and how truthful and real you are about them. It encourages me for what is to come for my family and me. We will starting the GAPS intro in a few weeks (I’m waiting on stocking my freezer and getting my online orders). I’m so nervous and a tiny bit worried BUT I know Christ is with us and He will give us strength for each moment. I have a laundry list of health issues and seeing a list growing with my daughter…I have been praying for literally ten years for answers and The Lord has answered in His perfect timing! We are so grateful for answered prayers and His provision to be able to do the GAPS! My one prayer is that in and through it all and when we reach the end of it that Christ would get all the glory…and may He be magnified! I’ll be praying for your family!
