I thought “warsh” was an Iowa thing. We all used to giggle when our 4th grade teacher told us to warsh our hands.
To go way off topic, has anyone tried the GAPS diet? I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and think I should try it to heal my gut, but I find pleasure in good food. Plus, I’ll still be baking bread & using dairy for my family-so hard to make & serve it without tasting any.
I just took a look at GAPS, looks fairly good from my very limited knowledge and tastes.
There are different schools of thought on some of the foods. I’m not wild about coconut or avocado, but I don’t think I’ve come across anything saying they are really bad.
Coconut oil:

Weston Price foundation seems pretty good.

Most medicines are problematic; all I can suggest is researching each one you take and understanding its pharmacokinetics in order make good choices.

Yogurt is great. For probiotic supplements I’d avoid the ones from major drug companies. I think the Dr. Mercola stuff seems pretty good, but I’ve not used it. Lots of info in his site.

For dairy check out raw milk/dairy. You can get it delivered direct from farmer sometimes.
You can research treats you can make for yourself to alleviate wanting what you serve family.
FReeping helps ! :)
My mother-in-law was Texan, 4th generation born and raised, and she said it that way.
