“This book provides easy, mouthwatering recipes. It offers practical ways to restore your gut to optimum function, and help you and your family take control of your gut health.”―Dr. Joseph Mercola
The Heal Your Gut Cookbook was created by Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) Diet experts Hilary Boynton and Mary G. Brackett to help heal your gut and to manage the illnesses that stem from it. Pioneering British MD Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride provides the book’s Foreword.
GAPS addresses disorders, including: ADD/ADHD, autism, addictions, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, stemming from or exacerbated by leaky gut and dysbiosis. It also refers to chronic gut-related physical conditions, including:
- Celiac disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Diabetes type one
- Crohn’s disease
- Asthma
- Eczema
- Allergies
- Thyroid disorders
- and more!
An evolution of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, the GAPS Diet will appeal to followers of the Paleo Diet, who are still struggling for optimum health, as well as anyone interested in the health benefits of fermentation or the Weston A. Price approach to nutrition.
In The Heal Your Gut Cookbook, readers will learn about the key cooking techniques and ingredients that form the backbone of the GAPS Diet:
- Working with stocks and broths
- Soaking nuts and seeds
- Using coconut
- Culturing raw dairy
The authors offer encouraging, real-life perspectives on the life-changing improvements to the health of their families by following this challenging, but powerful, diet.
The GAPS Diet is designed to restore the balance between beneficial and pathogenic intestinal bacteria and seal the gut through the elimination of grains, processed foods, and refined sugars and the carefully sequenced reintroduction of nutrient-dense foods.
The Heal Your Gut Cookbook is a must-have if you are following the GAPS Diet, considering the GAPS Diet, or simply looking to improve your digestive health and―by extension―your physical and mental well-being.

Not only has it helped me, but it has also helped my 22 month old son in healing our guts and finally being able to properly absorb all the nutrients from the foods we've been eating. After a few rounds of antibiotics as a newborn, my sons gut was wrecked and he needed major gut repair. He ate every single meal that I made for him after following these recipes!! That is huge for a toddler!! He rarely ate anything I'd try to feed him without putting up a fight. With this book.. Success!!
The recipes in this book are delicious and very easy to follow. You will be flying through the gaps intro with ease if you take the time to read this book and follow along with each stage. I can honestly say I never felt deprived. And I actually felt like it was Thanksgiving each day with all the great meals my son and I were getting to eat each day. My particular favorites on the intro were the turmeric and mushroom leek soups. I'd never cooked with either and now I really love those foods. So thankful for this book!! :) can't say thank you enough!!
I was reading the GAPS diet book by McBride with the plan of immplementing it for our daughters with autism. In the middle of reading it I began to have severe stomach distress. I had had some distress off and on for a couple of years but this pain was dibilitating and I was mostly fasting, because my stomach hurt so badly. I thought I would just go on McBride's diet suggestions when I came across this book and bought it immediately. The timing was perfect and I went through almost all the steps in the cookbook. The nourishment and healing were exceptional after I had been in that much pain and having mostly fasted for a week. I was scared to hurt again and the pace was perfect. This book made the diet so much easier. I do recommend reading McBride's book first if you are following the GAPS diet closely. It will make the diet aspect more clear. Hilary Boynton also recommends it.
The recipes! They are so excellent! It has become my favorite cookbook and I have a lot of cookbooks. The fish soups are wonderful! We all love fish soup now. "Halibut in Lemon Thyme Broth" and "Coconut Curry Fish Stew" are two recipes that we have tried and love. All 10 of us. That is saying something. My husband's favorite recipes are "Creamy Cabbage 'Casserole' with Chicken Thighs" and "Mexican Chicken Hearts". The kids really like them too. The cabbage and chicken thighs "soup" tastes even better a day or two later after all the flavors have blended and it is such an easy recipe. He also loves the "Hot Nicky" fermented hot sauce. The salmon patties- delicious! I've made many other recipes and have more recipes on my list to try.
The very best things about these recipes is that after you eat them, you feel so nourished, very satisfied, and well.
Many, many thanks, Hilary Boynton!!
Pros: Lays out the GAPS diet. Gives a lot of information about the GAPS diet to help get you started. Great recipe ideas.
Cons: The author has not gone into all the foods allowed on the Full GAPS diet so there may be some holes as you progress (this is not the end of the world but just so you know)
It is a good book overall. I used it to get me through the beginning of the GAPS process and enjoyed seeing the different foods to make it helped during that time when I was really feeling "blah" in the detox period. I didn't use all the recipes but I did enjoy seeing how things could be prepared. It was nice to know she has used these foods on her husband and kids.
I consulted this book more than my GAPS book and I would definitely would buy this again and recommend it to my friends that are trying the GAPS diet.
Also, I had the distinct pleasure of eating Hilary’s cooking for 5 days last week. I attended a Take Back Your Health retreat with my mom. The food was nourishing and simultaneously delicious! Hilary’s skill in the kitchen is inspiring. She pours love and flavor into everything she touches. Eating her food and possessing this cookbook has re-ignited my love for food and for my body. Please, buy this cookbook. You will not regret it.
