Hi, I hope if you are following along that you too have had a great week. If you totally new to GAPS that you are starting to settle in, and find your way. For us this week we have decided to stay on stage 2. My reason for this is because we haven't yet, included a ferment at every meal, which is our personal goal, and we haven't included eggs. The plan was to add an egg yoke to every soup, well that didn't happen. I added if for one day mid week, so that will be a goal this week. However today we had scrambled eggs for breakfast, we forgot to get mince out last night for breakfast, so far we haven't had any reaction. So this week we will be looking more at add soft boiled eggs.
Foods allowed on stage 2.
* Meat stock
* Fish stock
* Organ meat - liver should be included at least once a week.
* Well boiled veggies, onions, garlic, carrots, broccoli, leeks, cauliflower, courgettes, zucchini, squash, pumpkin, Asparagus, beetroot, Eggplant, Kale, Spinach, Tomatoes, anything on the allowed list that is not too fiberous.
* Boiled meats
* Mineral Salt and Pepper
* sauerkraut juice
* Ginger root - for fresh herbal tea
* Honey - Raw, only a small amount in herbal tea.
* Lemon - only a small piece in warm water as morning drink
* Apple Cider Vinegar for bone broth, and in the morning glass of water to aid in digestion.
* homemade Ghee
* Homemade Yoghurt - if tolerated
* Egg yokes, soft boiled eggs, pouched eggs.
* Fermented veggies.
* Fermented fish.
* Fresh herbs.
So my plan for this week will be simliar to my one from last week, with breakfast balls, soups and soft boiled eggs for lunch, and an evening meal. All mornings will start with room temp mineral water, with ACV or lemon juice.

Now if you are following along, Please remember this My meal plan, so what my family might like your might not. My family has never really been a big soup family so they don't really like many different types of soup. So please feel free to change those for soups that your family likes, but I do encourage you to try and make double what your family needs for one meal, so that you can use it for two days, and save yourself some cooking and cleaning. Also having extra soup means that if someone if hungry at other times in the day you can always offer soup.
Also you will notice that Friday we are having boiled eggs instead of meat balls. For us fridays is a busy day, so having eggs is a little quicker than meatballs. You may also notice that we are having a cup of broth that day. There is no broth in the meal so to make sure that we have enough we will be having a cup of it. Any meal that doesn't contain broth, should have broth on the side. However if you are happy to you can have broth in the meal and on the side. The more broth and fats you consume the quicker the healing.
If you are happy to move on to stage three, things that you can add this week are scrambled eggs, and avocados. Looking for a full list of foods allowed on each stage, here is another great blog.
I hope you have a good week, and are seeing progress. Please leave a comment if their is anything you would like to see, or need me to explain more.
