This is an excellent book for understanding how a gut can fail and lead to numerous problems: autoimmune diseases, allergies, autism, ADD/ADHD, and all of the rest of the disorders listed in the title. It also lays out how to allow your body to heal through a change of diet. I have read this book twice and also use it as a reference guide, constantly. There are numerous websites that support the GAPS-diet. I was initially frustrated with references to unfamiliar foods (British-terminology) and the recipes section didn't offer as much as I had hoped, but still all in all a wonderful book!

This book has changed our lives and the lives of several families we know. The author, a neurologist, used these principles to heal her child of autism. In our family, it has healed pollen allergies, food allergies, anxiety, and autoimmune disease. The information presented here is ground-breaking. Definitely read this book if you have any of the symptoms.

This book revolutionized my thinking about how to help my son who, for years, has suffered from the many symptoms of autism. We have been implementing the principles and recipes from this book and Nourishing Traditions for the last year and have seen *amazing* results. The broth recipe in this book and Nourishing Traditions literally calms him. The journey of healing has just begun for us, because we didn't discover the "GAPS" nutrition program until he was 11 years old, but we are finally witnessing hope for some recovery. I highly recommend this book.
