Having eczema and being on the GAPS diet has made me very aware of the food addictions many people around me have. Once people hear that we can’t eat breads or noodles or rice, they tend to freak out. 😀 They will invariably say, “Oh! I can’t live without my cake/bread/carbs/etc”. According to Dr Natasha […] Read more…

What I am Learning

Weaned!
Once I couldn’t imagine it but now it has come and passed. I am no longer nursing. The “baby” has weaned at 34 months, just after CNY (January 2012). Can you believe it?

How blessed S is to have grandparents who love her so much that they were willing to inconvenience themselves twice in our […] Read more…
Cooking for an allergic child
One never stops learning. When I was growing up I never cooked anything except instant noodles 😀 When I got married I had to learn how to cook rice (and use the washing machine too!). So you can say that I am so not Nigella Lawson 😀 Fast forward to today, I not only have […] Read more…
Chinese New Year and GAPS
We survived Christmas on GAPS mostly because we didn’t have any Christmas dinners and parties 🙂 Well, I did have one with my friends. It was a lunch gathering and I brought my food along. But Chinese New Year is a different ballgame altogether. There will be many visits and lunches and dinners out. Oh […] Read more…
Doing GAPS in Singapore
While reading and reading and reading, I have come to the conclusion that the Gut and Psychology Syndrome(GAPS) diet by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride made the most sense. So here is my story of doing GAPS in Singapore. What is the GAPS Diet? Here is a great summary of what the GAPS diet is at Sustain […] Read more…
