Are These Foods Worth Avoiding?
The claim that starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, and fast foods can have a negative effect on the digestive system when consumed in excess has some scientific merit, but there are no scientific studies to back up the claims that eliminating them from one's diet will do anything to improve gut health.
The same can be said for all the foods that the GAPS diet restricts, especially whole grains, which have many positive health effects when eaten in moderation.5‘The Whole Truth about Whole Grains.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 20 Aug. 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/whole-grains/art-20047826
