I'm just home from the Tipperary GAPS Seminar and I feel elated!! I met so many wonderful inspiring and motivated people today and yesterday. What a weekend. Natasha Campbell-McBride was charming and gracious, and so generous with her time. She spoke to so many people individually after she was finished her presentation. She is incredibly knowledgeable and had something to say on many many different illnesses and chronic diseases. Even though I've read her first book many times, I still learned a lot and came away with some serious food for thought! Ballykisteen Hotel and The Horse & Jockey Hotel really pulled out all the stops in the food they served us, which was all GAPS/SCD friendly.
It was great to hear other parents' stories. We heard from parents of children with Down Syndrome and autism who have had huge success with the GAPS protocol. We even heard about the diet helping a lady who has had narcolepsy for 20 years, her family's story was amazing! I spoke myself at both events and it was a very fulfilling experience, other than my hand shaking uncontrollably and the microphone deciding it didn't like me!!
Thank you so much to everyone who approached me afterwards and thanked me for my own presentation. I was so glad to meet you all and hope we can stay in touch. Thanks so much to all the other speakers, especially Eleanor, who moved us all to tears. And of course, thank you so so much to Anne Maher for organising the whole event. Hopefully it will be the first of many!!
