Introduction
Over 2,000 years ago Hippocrates proclaimed that all disease beings in the gut
, and according to Huffington Post, it’s common to overlook the health of our gastrointestinal system, even though it contains 10-times more health-determining bacteria than the rest of our body.
Most people have a healthy balance of bacteria in their system, but a lack of bacterial diversity. Western society treats any malady with medications, and as a collective we take a lot of pills for a lot of problems: medications like antibiotics, birth control, anti-depressants, antacids, etc. Chronic stress and exposure to environmental toxins can also alter digestive secretions, gut permeability, blood flow, and diet sensitivity.

While our stomachs are considered an external organ, they are housed inside our bodies and their job is to protect us from harmful substances that try to enter our bodies. Trillions of bacteria can be found inside our bodies, and that bacteria play an important role in how well or poor our bodies function. When this bacterium gets paired with other viruses and fungi in your system, they become known as microbiota, and each person’s makes up a unique environment. Our intestines and colon are lined with millions of bacteria that play a role in our metabolic function and hardiness of our immune system. While we have a lot of bacteria all throughout the body, it is specifically the bacteria in our digestive systems that can have a direct link to our health and well being.
People who experience illnesses and diseases often have an imbalance of bacteria: sometimes there is too much of one type, or they are lacking a diversity of bacteria to begin with. Research has been conducted that has been able to connect dots between diseases, illnesses, and the bacteria content of your gut; that bacteria can have an impact on the following:
Heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Metabolic function is affected by the bacteria in your gut in the form of calories used from food and the nutrient content the body receives from said food. Bacteria in excess can cause fiber in your gut to turn into fatty acids, leading to fat deposit build-up in your liver, which can lead to metabolic syndrome.
Inflammatory diseases of the bowl such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It’s hypothesized that people who suffer from these kinds of ailments are missing key anti-inflammatory gut bacteria that may cause the body to begin attacking your own intestines.
Autism, anxiety, and depression. Nerve endings in the gut communicate with your brain, also known as the gut-brain-axis. Studies have suggested that a link exists between gut health and central nervous system disorders.
Arthritis
Colon cancer
The GAPS Diet can assist in the healing of your gut which may lead to the remission or disappearance of symptoms. The diet hypothesizes that when you focus on improving gut health, leaky gut syndrome which can lead to many of the above ailments, can be cured by fortifying your gut microbiota to decrease permeability and the leaking of toxins into the bloodstream. This is a healing protocol that can fix gut ailments, reduce inflammation, and potentially treat certain conditions that have manifested in the brain, but that begin in the stomach.
The diet puts an emphasis on foods that are good for the gut and high in nutrients, and the elimination of several food groups that are hard on the digestive system. Limited research exists out there about the GAPS Diet and whether or not it can back up its touted benefits, but either way it is clear that bacterial health in the gut can play a large role in many aspects of a person’s
