GAPS, SCD, or Paleo shopping list

Since I’ve been on GAPS, it seems as though shopping has become similar and easier. Even when I am at the health food store, there are so many aisles of foods that we can’t eat.  So I end up zooming past them to get to the things we need from the fresh and bulk sections.

Because we buy the same things every week, I have a master shopping list that I use to make sure I buy what we need.  You can do this for any diet you’re on to make things easier when you shop.  I thought I would share my list with you today, so if you don’t already have a master list for a GAPS, SCD or Paleo diet, you are more than welcome to use mine and then adjust it to your own needs.

The nice thing about having a master shopping list like this is you tend not to forget to buy things you need as much. And every week, you can just print off a new one and cross off the things you already have or don’t want for the week.
