Hello, my name is Danielle Forrester and I'm a certified GAPS coach.
Welcome to my DIY course: Navigating Food Allergies and Intolerance on the GAPS Diet!
We began the GAPS diet back in 2017 for my son Raleigh. He suffered with severe eczema, food allergies/sensitivities, edema and asthma. We initially treated him using western medicine only to see his health deteriorate rapidly. I came across the GAPS diet in 2015 but considered it too daunting even though I knew it was what he needed. I received my certification as a GAPS coach in July of 2020. This journey with my son has taught me a great many things about food as medicine, patience, true healing and revealed to me a deeper desire and passion to help others on their own journey to find healing.
I created this DIY course to help you navigate the GAPS diet when dealing with food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances.
You will learn how to determine the differences between die-off and food intolerance.
You will learn how to go about removing and reintroducing food sensitivities while on the GAPS diet.
You will learn about histamine intolerance and how to heal it.
Plus a lot more!
Food allergies and sensitivities are often directly connected with eczema. This was true of my son, Raleigh.

Meet Raleigh!
GAPS changed his life! Here he is enjoying a homemade strawberry marshmallow from my dessert recipe compilation: Treat Yo' Self.
Raleigh's journey through GAPS with food allergies, sensitivities, eczema and asthma birthed many new delicious recipes. We had to get creative in the kitchen and we did!
