This program is recommended for 30-60 days.

If you are gluten intolerant and have eaten gluten once and are feeling ill this diet is recommended for 10 days. If you have been eating poorly, have taken antibiotics in the past year or antacids – this diet is recommended for a minimum of 30 days to a maximum of 90 days.

The protocol recommended with the diet is:

Basic RepairVite™ Supplimental Program

RepairVite™ (K60) Powder – 1 serving twice per day

Comprehensive RepairVite™ Supplimental Proram

• RepairVite™ (K60) Powder – 1 serving twice per day
• Strengthia™ (K61) – 2 capsuls, twice per day
• GI-Synergy™ (K64) Packet – 1 packet, twice per day

You must ONLY eat from the list of allowed foods. You should make every attempt to eat frequently throughout the day. Do not fast during this program as it increases cortisol which may further compromise the intestinal mucosa. You should never be hungry during this program but you may crave foods that you are restricted to eat. Eat fermented foods as much as possible since they provide nutrients for your intestines.

Please note that the diet alone is a great way to reduce and/or eliminate your symptoms. However if you also have brain symptoms (depression, anxiety, brain fog, poor memory, etc.) than other supplements to support your brain are needed otherwise your gut symptoms will not be eliminated. If you also have brain issues and do not address them your brain can become permanently degenerated.
