GAPS Meat Stock is a very special type of soup. “It is a whole meal and designed for healing to heal and seal the gut lining quickly” by Dr, Natasha Campbell McBride from her famous yellow book, Gut And Psychology Syndrome.
When you start to eat it, almost immediately you can sense the change in your gut and other digestive organs. It is different from Bone broth. The Meat Stock is used for the GAPS Introductory Diet. The Meat Stock is suitable over the Bone broth for any severe GAPS condition. Also, it is safer to start with meat stock.
Meat stock is made from a lot of meat with a few bones, cooked for a short time. 80% of the ingredients should be meat and 20% bone.
(Please take a look at another article to understand the difference between Meat Stock and Bone Broth.)
If it’s beef, just like the one shown in the picture：
Some vegetables (non-starchy and non-fibrous) can be a part of the ingredients. Also, Salt and pepper for taste.
Cooked on burner, covered:
1 ½ -3 hours for chicken or other poultry (The photo image below is cooking Whole chicken.)
3-6 hours for beef, bison, lamb or pork
or
in a slow cooker:
6 hours for chicken
2 hours on high then 8 hours on low for beef, bison, lamb, or pork
You can choose from any meat, poultry, or fish you like to use. Whole chicken is the most popular choice in my clients. Maybe because it smells and taste lighter than any other animal. And by using the whole chicken, many variety of nutrients can be released in the stock. Fish is good also. But it is difficult to procure for many people.
Most of my clients like to use chicken, and Korean and Iranian clients like to use Beef. Indian clients like to use other than beef. When they get tired of the first choice, they switch to another animal and then eventually come back to the original choice.
If you are allergic to or intolerant to Vitamin A, then using Pork may be safer.
When taking a synthetic vitamin A supplement, you can develop Vitamin A allergy. I learned this from one of my client.
Below is the reference to the comparison of containing the vitamins in pork and chicken.
” Overall, pork is a little richer in vitamins, containing more of vitamin B1, vitamin B12, vitamins B2 and B6 and vitamin E. Pork also contains vitamin C and vitamin D, which chicken is absent.
Chicken, on the other hand, is richer in vitamin A, vitamin B3 and vitamin B5. One vitamin found in chicken that pork completely lacks is vitamin K.
Pork and chicken contain the same amount of the folate form of vitamin B9. ” According to the reference, https://foodstruct.com/compare/pork-vs-chicken-meat
