Does GAPS help with leptin resistance and if so, how?
Leptin resistance is similar to insulin resistance and is usually found in overweight people. GAPS diet is a low carbohydrate diet; it helps with weight loss and insulin resistance, so it should help with leptin resistance too. In your book you mention that GAPS people often have an overgrowth of sulphate-reducing bacteria. If I suspect this to be the case in my child, should I avoid feeding him foods that contain high amount of sulphur? No, do not remove sulphur-containing foods! Sulphur is essential to re-build you child’s gut, immunity and liver function. GAPS people are already deficient in sulphur; they cannot get enough of it. As the gut flora starts changing the beneficial microbes will take care of the pathogens and normalise your child’s sulphur metabolism.
