I’ve joined yet another support group–for GAPS diet (Gut and Psychology Syndrome).
One of the members also has a blog and posted this. I thought I’d pass it along for anyone also following this diet. It kind of tickles me that the Pickl-It jars are a lot like the jars I’m using for making my own sauerkraut. I think I might try the longer method of fermentation–cabbage itself is known to irritate the thyroid, which is what I suspect is going on with this lady’s child. I’ve noticed the “red neck” rash on my neck after eating sauerkraut, even though it has benefited my gut in other ways…so, yeah, longer fermentation with kefir whey seems to be the ticket.
(A side note~ I didn’t get a migraine last month–just a bad headache…saying this with fingers crossed so not to jinx myself.)
