Cultured dairy is a large part of the Gut and Psychology Syndrome diet, which is exactly why so many people with dairy allergies or sensitivities tend to avoid it. Unfortunately, these same people also miss out on the opportunity to heal.
Enter chef, author, and teacher Monica Corrado. Using non-clinical language all readers can understand, Corrado continues to unravel the myths and misconceptions people bring to GAPS. Where the first book in her series examined the important differences between meat stock and bone broth, this time the author turns to the unique role of dairy. Cooking Techniques for the Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet, Part II: Culturing Dairy is an easy-to-understand, step-by-step guide on how to successfully implement nutritious cultured dairy products back into your diet.
As Corrado explains in her introduction, allergies and sensitivities are symptoms of a “leaky gut.” This is a damaged small intestine that can no longer break down food or absorb the nutrients the food should provide. If left unresolved for a long time, the consequences can be dire to your health. GAPS, or Gut and Psychology Syndrome, is based on the fundamental idea that diseases take hold when your gut ceases to function the way it should, and it seeks to address a range of disorders and chronic conditions that can be traced back to a leaky gut.
How do you know if you or if someone you love has a leaky gut? “Symptoms tell the tale,” says the author. These symptoms can and often do include food sensitivities, including dairy, as well as constipation, IBS, mood swings, and even depression. A leaky gut can also contribute to the “alphabet soup” of brain function disorders that plague so many of our children: ADD, ADHD, autism spectrum, OCD, SPD, and autoimmune disorders.
When it comes to dairy specifically, most people experience sensitivities rather than true allergies–and those in the latter category may be even more wary of GAPS. Ye
