Comments:
MAJOR brain fog today. I'm having trouble finding words and stringing them together into something that makes sense.
I'm feeling all discombobulated and overwhelmed.

I've been slowly adding more probiotic foods into our diet and I wonder if that is what is doing it. Funny thing is we ate way more of them pre-GAPS. Can eliminating grains and processed sugars really make that much of a difference?
