Plan for Kill Phase Part Two - Days 5-7

Looking into all of the options, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and GAPS Diet look the most sensible for me to proceed with.

I'm planning on killing bacteria for two weeks. The first four days being a bone broth fast - nothing but broth and supplements (the broth has carrot in it as well as chicken, and was flavoured with onion, celery, parsley, pepper and salt).

So the next ten days need to continue to starve the bacteria, but preparing me for the Restore Phase in a few weeks. Plus I don't know if I can do an entire two weeks on bone broth only.

The GAPS diet has three phases - introduction, Full GAPS and transitioning from GAPS to what will
become your normal, ongoing diet.

The introduction phase is worrying me a bit because it says the next step after the bone broth fast is to introduce fermented foods with every cup of soup, and as far as I've been able to determine, all the fermented foods suggested are D-Lactate forming, which is not suitable for a gut full of Streptococcus.

If D-lactic acid producing bacteria, like streptococcus, only make up a small proportion of our gut bacteria, the quantity of D-lactic acid produced is manageable. However when we there is an overgrowth of these bacteria levels of D-lactic acid become excessive, as well as other troublesome substances like Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S).


I've searched the internet for any information on what fermented (probiotic foods) do not produce D-Lactic acid but haven't been able to find a list anywhere. What I did discover is that Kefir has more L-lactic acid than D-lactic acid, so I'm going to use that in Part One of the Restore phase. Then I'll move on to sauerkraut and Kombucha.

Kill Phase Part Two - 3 days

For the next 3 days of Kill I'm going to stick to bone broth and supplements, but I'll introduce things from the GAPS introduction diet, plus a probiotic that contains only Lactobacillus plantarum:
  • Probiotic (non-acidophilus)
  • Ginger tea between meals
  • Soft boiled eggs at every meal
  • Avocados
  • Stews (from the GAPS protocol)
This will mean I've been killing bacteria for a week. If I can tolerate the new foods (I think it will be no problem), then I'll move on to more from the GAPS diet.

  • Magnesium 5mg - for muscle pain due to toxins in gut, and contains potassium to offset the sodium I'll be taking to alkalise my gut
  • Garlic (1 clove)
  • Probiotic (1) - Lactobacillus plantarum

4. 90 mins after eating and before bed
  • Magnesium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate (alkalise the large intestine)
  • Oregano oil (1 drop)
