Last week we learned how to make bone broth. But did you know that while on GAPS Intro, you should actually be making meat stock? Read on to learn the different and how to make meat stock for GAPS.
Now, before any of you chefs get all over me for terminology, I’m fully aware that the real food community has kinda gotten these two things backwards. See, in the culinary world, broth is made from meat and stock is made from bones. In the healing diet world, it’s the opposite! So please forgive me as I talk about these two things using the terminology that is used throughout the GAPS and paleo worlds.
One of the biggest things that people do not realize about GAPS Intro is that there is no bone broth involved! If you are considering Intro, you probably know all about bone broth, its healing powers, and how everyone that needs to heal their gut is drinking it. As I discussed last week, it really is great stuff. Dr. Natasha recommends both bone broth and meat stock for people who are healing, as they have very different nutrient profiles.
However, meat stock is considered much more gentle on the gut. The connective tissues and marrow that comes from the bone-on meat used to make this stock is also incredibly healing and an essential part of the GAPS Intro protocol. Bone broth is a fantastic addition to the diet, and I consume it every day. But some people are sensitive to it, or it can be too strongly detoxifying. It is best to stick to just meat stock at the beginning.
Meat stock is made by taking meat on the bone (such as a whole chicken or a package of beef soup bones) and boiling it in filtered water for a short period of time, just until the meat is cooked. For chicken, this will be about an hour to an hour and a half. I always cook the giblets and a couple chicken feet with the whole chicken for extra nourishment. Beef takes about 3 hours. Even with the short cooking time, I find that my meat stock always gels very nicely. I love seeing that healing jiggle!
Once you have made your stock, you can use it however you like. Take the meat, add some vegetables, and make it into soup, as I do with my many GAPS Intro recipes. Or eat the meat separately and either drink the broth on the side, or use it to make a vegetable puree soup. I have recipes for these in Healing Patiently.
However you make your broth, what is important is that you are drinking it! Whether in a soup, used to cook up vegetables or legumes, or drunk straight out of a mug, broth and stock are essential additions to your healing diet.
This nourishing broth is an essential part of the GAPS Intro protocol. It will help heal and seal the gut, and it tastes delicious, too!
Ingredients
Meat on the bone: A whole chicken with giblets, beef soup bones, joints, marrow bones, etc.
Filtered water
Instructions
Place the meaty bones in a large stock pot and cover with filtered water.
Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer.
Cook until the meat is cooked all the way through, up to 3 hours.
Strain the meat and bones out to yield a delicious and nourishing broth.
Reserve meat, skin, connective tissues, and marrow to be consumed. Any soft parts that you do not want to consume can be blended up with some broth and added back into soups as a way to hide them.
Store in glass in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for several months.

The benefit of meat stock is that it's more gentle and easy to digest and it's what to use on GAPS, but particularly during the GAPS Intro Diet. If you have a diagnosis of Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) you want to stick with meat stock.
Bone broth is ideal for consuming once gut healing has taken place. The significant difference is that the meat stock is not cooked as long as bone broth. Meat stock is especially rich in gelatin and free amino acids, like proline and glycine.
Stock is especially rich in gelatin and free amino acids, like proline and glycine. These amino acids, along with the gelatinous protein from the meat and connective tissue, are particularly beneficial in healing and strengthening connective tissue such as that found in the lining of the gut.
A gap in a stock occurs when a stock's price jumps between the close of one candlestick and the open of the next. Typically, this is seen on daily charts when a stock opens at a very different price than the price at which it closed the day before. Stocks can gap up or down.
A trader could buy a stock if it gaps up at the open and sell it if it gaps down. For example, when a company releases positive news after market hours, this might result in a gap up that prompts traders to buy the stock with the expectation of a continual rise.
There are four different types of gaps: common gaps, breakaway gaps, runaway gaps, and exhaustion gaps; each with its own signal to traders. Gaps are easy to spot, but determining the type of gap is much harder to figure out.
Chart gaps and gap fills are one of AJ Monte's favorite technical analysis tricks. Gaps in the chart fill 80% of the time — Gaps act as a magnet, drawing short-term traders to chase that area as a price target. To “fill” means that at least the wick or shadow of the candle fills in the missing area in the chart.
For instance, in the case of the earnings of any company, earnings may be higher than expected and stock prices may go up by the time the next day's trading starts. This means that the company's stock price opened higher (gap up) than it closed in the previous day's session.
Made by simmering a whole raw chicken in water for a shorter period than chicken bone broth, chicken meat stock offers a range of nutritional benefits. It is rich in gelatin, collagen, minerals, and amino acids, which can help heal the digestive system and support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
The sodium in bone broth may not be an issue for the average healthy person, Zumpano says, but it could be risky for people who have high blood pressure, heart disease or kidney disease. Always talk to your doctor if you have concerns.
Ginger Tea. Drinking warm ginger tea just before or during a big meal may improve digestive health and prevent heartburn, stomachache and indigestion. ...
Stock or broth is the basic ingredient in clear soups. Broth is made from a combination of water; vegetables; beef, fish, chicken, or veal; mirepoix; and bouquet garni. One type of clear soup is consommé. This is a rich, flavorful broth or stock that has been clarified.
It's so easy! Chop up some vegetables, cover with water, and simmer. Done. You'll have enough stock to make your soups, casseroles, and pilafs for weeks to come, and all in just a little over an hour.
Meat stock is milder in flavor than bone broth. The gelatin found in the joints and knuckles of bones is one of the most prominent “superfoods” for healing a leaky gut, helping to protect and heal the lining of the digestive tract and regenerate cells. It also aids in the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
If the market is trending strongly, the gap may not fill as quickly or may not fill at all. On the other hand, if the market is moving sideways or in a range, the gap is more likely to fill. Time frame: The time frame of the gap can affect the trading strategy.
It can make a healthy addition to your diet and contains nutrients such as collagen, electrolytes, and various amino acids. Consuming bone broth can help reduce inflammation and build muscle when combined with daily exercise.
