Meat stock is one of the most important food on No Plant GAPS. Actually, No Plant GAPS doesn’t exist witout it. So why is it so important?

Many people in the world have very damaged digestive systems, the digestive system that cannot tolerate or struggle to digest things. They cannot digest plants and they cannot digest solids, including meats

All plants, whether they are cooked or prepared in different ways, including fermented or raw, they are very difficult to digest. They are full of antinutrients that cause havoc in our bodies. Fiber is one of the worst things we can consume if I guts are very damaged. It works on the gut like a sandpaper on an open wound. The effect of eating fiber is pain, burning, cramping and many other unwanted symptoms.

That is why No Plant GAPS will remove all plants for this group of people with very damaged digestive systems. And this is why we remove soldis and we start with the most healing and nourishing liquid- meat stock.

Properly prepared meat stock is a very healing liquid full of collagen.

The majority of the physical structure of the gut lining is collagen, it’s part of our connective tissue. Collagen is the most ubiquitous protein in our body, it is an elastic protein which literally holds your body together. Collagen in our bodies is in the structure of :

• the whole body,
• bones,
• muscles,
• ligaments,
• joints,
• capsules of joints,
• capsules of organs,
• fascia,
• blood vessels,
• all the sheaths where the nerves are traveling,
• all the mucus membranes in the body,

The structure of your digestive system are made out of collagen. The are some other substances of course, but largely they are made out of collagen, collagen is a brick and mortar of what it is made of.

Unfortunately, according to dr Natasha Campell McBride collagen is the magnet for toxicity.

There is a river of toxicity coming from the damaged digestive system and lots of these poisons attach themselves to the molecules of collagen. And of course, the gut is the first place where they meet these molecules, and like a magnet they attach themselves. So collagen gets contaminated with these poisons.

Your immune system goes around your body all the tie “surveying” , it finds these contaminated molecules of collagen, looks at them and says “you are not mine, I don’t recognize you” and it either using an inflammation to clean that molecule of collagen, and inflammation is not comfortable (the place is red, hot, swollen, doesn’t work and it hurts) and that’s when we get pain in the digestive system, ulcerations, Crohns, UC, IBD – IBD is a chronic infmmation in the wall  of your digestive system.

If that doesn’t work, inflammation will go on for as long as the contamination goes on and if that doesn’t work and the collagen is still being contaminated then the immune system will use other tools, such as autoimmunity. It takes the immune system around a month of two to develop antibodies against this contaminated collagen in your gut lining, once it is stars working, these cells, these antibodies dismantle collagen and they remove it. You start losing the brick and mortar your body is build from. You start losing the density of your tissues, the structure of your body is suffering and the structure of your gut is suffering, it becomes really damage and can even rupture. In this situation a person needs a NPG diet.

On the first stage we give only meat stock, meat stock, meat stock. Meat stock is reach in collagen, it’s the richest source of natural collagen, no supplemtn in the world can do that job. Meat stock provided fresh collagen that your body can sue immediately to replace the collagenthat your are losing in the gut lining and it will start rebuilding the physical structure of your gut lining. That is why we start with meat stock ony, because it is warm, easy to digest and providing the very building materials  that  you need right now.

Once you replenish that brick and mortar, then we can start adding other things.

That applies to fish stock too.

Don’t want farmed fish, wild fish only, heads, skins, things, skeleton.

Meat stock on No Plant GAPS

Meat stock stands out as a cornerstone in the No Plant GAPS diet, and frankly, No Plant GAPS wouldn’t exist without it. So, why is it so important?

Many individuals globally struggle with compromised digestive systems that struggle to process various foods. For some, both plants and solids (including animal-based solids) pose a challenge. Plants, whether cooked, fermented, or raw, are laden with antinutrients, causing havoc in our bodies. Fiber, especially detrimental for damaged guts, acts like sandpaper on an open wound, resulting in pain, burning, cramping, and other undesirable symptoms.

Hence, No Plant GAPS eliminates all plants for those with severely compromised digestive systems. Instead, we turn to the most curative and nourishing liquid: meat stock.

Correctly prepared meat stock is a healing elixir rich in collagen.

Collagen, a fundamental protein, plays a pivotal role in building and repairing various components within the human body.

Approximately three-quarters of the proteins in the human body comprise collagen. This abundant protein is found in connective tissues like skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones. Derived from amino acids obtained through the consumption of meat stock, collagen acts as a scaffolding for new tissue growth and supports the proliferation of cells crucial for tissue repair.

In bones, collagen contributes significantly to bone tissue, imparting strength and flexibility while enhancing bone density and mitigating the risk of fractures. In cartilage, a vital component for smooth joint movement, collagen reduces joint pain and inflammation.

Tendons and ligaments rely on collagen for the strength and flexibility necessary to connect muscles and bones effectively.

Collagen also plays a role in supporting teeth and gums.

Internally, collagen is present in tissues that make up organs such as the liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, and all the other organs. It additionally contributes to the strength and elasticity of blood vessel walls.

When it comes to the skin, collagen is a major component that, when consumed, enhances skin elasticity and hydration, resulting in reduced wrinkles and an overall improvement in skin texture.

In terms of gut health, collagen is instrumental in fortifying the lining of the digestive tract, reducing inflammation, and fostering the growth of beneficial bacteria.

It’s crucial to note that only collagen sourced from animal products (meat stock is the best source) possesses the capability to build and repair; powdered collagen, on the other hand, contributes to oxalate issues. Understanding this distinction is vital for making informed choices about the sources of collagen for optimum health.

Unfortunately, collagen, according to Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, attracts toxins. A stream of toxicity from a damaged digestive system attaches to collagen molecules, leading to contamination. The immune system, encountering these contaminated molecules, triggers inflammation to cleanse the collagen. Persistent contamination may prompt autoimmune responses, resulting in chronic inflammation and conditions like Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, and other severe digestive conditions.

To address this, the No Plant GAPS diet initiates with a focus on meat stock. This liquid gold, abundant in collagen, serves as the richest natural source. No supplement worldwide can match its efficacy. Fresh collagen from meat stock becomes an immediate resource for the body, aiding in the replacement of lost gut lining collagen and initiating the rebuilding process.

In the initial stage, we emphasize meat stock exclusively. Its warmth, ease of digestion, and provision of essential building materials make it the ideal starting point. Once the foundational brick and mortar are replenished, we can gradually introduce other components into the diet.

Meat stock can be prepared from a diverse array of animals, whether they were flying, running, clucking, oinking, or swimming. If it was part of the animal kingdom, it’s likely suitable for making a nourishing meat stock.

Chicken stock is often recommended as the gentlest and easiest to digest, making it an excellent starting point. On the other hand, beef stock may pose challenges for some individuals in the initial stages.

Here are examples of meat stocks that can be prepared:

• Chicken stock
• Duck stock
• Lamb stock
• Beef stock
• Rabbit stock
• Venison stock
• Pork stock
• Wild duck stock
• Herring stock
• Mackerel stock
• Sardines stock

Feel free to explore and include other animal stocks on the list. The versatility of meat stocks allows for a wide range of options to suit individual preferences and dietary needs.
