I completed the Introduction portion of the GAPS Diet in April 2010 and I am thrilled to report in September 2010 I was able to wean off the steroid inhaler and have been free of asthma and seasonal allergies ever since! However, when I attempt to introduce milk products like yogurt or kefir, I have respiratory symptoms with which I am unwilling to live so I continue to keep milk out of my diet. I thought I could achieve a level of gut healing quickly and reintroduce dairy products so I figured I would get started. Some GAPS sources recommend avoiding dairy for a six week period and reintroduce slowly. This has not been enough to persuade me to give up milk, but when I started GAPS I figured it was as good a time as any. The second reason is that I’d known since 1989 when pregnant with my youngest son, that milk products caused respiratory problems for me. For one thing, I was dependent on a steroid inhaler for asthma for the previous nine years following a month long bout with pneumonia. So why avoid dairy? I had a couple of reasons. Let me point out that GAPS allows and recommends homemade fermented dairy products, and when I started on GAPS we actually had our own small herd of dairy goats specifically for their raw milk, and I regularly made kefir, clabbered milk, yogurt, buttermilk, and soft cheeses. I began looking into yogurt made from milk other than cow or goat milk after I started the Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet. I can’t wait to try this recipe and especially try that cheesecake.
