GAPS Bone Broth is mainly used for the FULL GAPS Diet.
Bone Broth is made from a lot of bones (marrow bones, knuckles, joints, neck, etc.) with a bit of meat or meaty bones, cooked for a long period of time. Simmered for a long time: 6 – 24 hours for chicken and 24 – 72 hours for beef.
Suggested times for slow cooker are 48+ hours on low for beef, bison, lamb, or pork and 24 hours on low or 8-10 hours on high for chicken.
However, if you have severe GAPS, you may need to reduce the cooking time greatly. For example, for a client with severe leaky gut syndrome, we reduced the cooking time for chicken to 1- 1.5 hours at the beginning. For another example, a client with kidney dysfunction, we started the cooking time for chicken broth only a half hour for the first two weeks. After that as the client’s health status improve, the cooking time was increased gradually.
Use the broth only and discard everything else. All good things are already in the broth, and meat, bones, and vegetables are already garbage.
80% of the ingredients are bone, and 20% are meat, just like the one in the image below,
I usually choose chicken over other animals because it is easier to use for a variety of cooking for my Japanese taste. My Korean client’s choice of Beef bone was interesting to me.
If you are allergic to Vitamin A, pork is safer than other animals. Please read about the reason why in my other post, GAPS Meat Stock
I usually add 1 pound of chicken feet to 2–3 pounds of 1 whole young soup chicken (about 1 year old, raised for making broth and not for eating the meat) to make the stock much more collagen-rich, as shown in the image below.
However, if your GAPS symptoms are even more severe, then it is not recommended. You may need to start with GAPS Meat Stock before GAPS Bone Broth. A nutritionally rich diet is necessary for healing GAPS, but it may cause a too-severe die-off reaction, which you may not be able to tolerate. So, starting with a small step is strongly recommended.
Please pay attention to the direct and indirect causes of your symptoms. The origin of physiological issues is almost always in your gut, which has been suffering from Gut dysbiosis to some degree. A good example is Celiac disease. People who suffer from Celiac disease tend to choose gluten-free diets, and of course, symptoms stop occurring or are reduced a lot. However, the root cause of the disease must be addressed and healed. Otherwise, other symptoms will gradually develop, which may occur in a totally different location in your body. Any inflammation in your body almost always being in your gut.
An elimination diet is a symptomatic solution! The GAPS Diet helps you to provide you a solution for the root cause. The GAPS Diet is designed to restore your gut microbiome’s integrity and health.
As Hippocrates (460-370 BC ) stated “All Diseases Begin in the Gut”
And “Meat Stock is low in glutamic acid. This is important to know because people sensitive to MSG may experience nervous system symptoms from high levels of glutamic acid if the gut is not yet healed.” by Monica Corrad, the author of Cooking Techniques for the Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet, Part 1: Meat Stock and Bone Broth.
Also, please remember that synthetic MSG and naturally occurring MSG are two different things and those may impact your health differently.
Store the broth in a mason jar, which makes it airtight. Cool it down to room temperature. Then, store it in the refrigerator.
It will be fine for a few weeks if you do not include vegetables in the ingredients.
Once you open a jar, it is recommended that you use it in few days.
