Carley Smith goes by “The Fairy Gutmother” moniker, but the
Nutritional Therapy Practitioner isn’t just administering wisdom to
make others’ (health) dreams a reality. After Smith, unknowingly
contracted Lyme disease, it led to a series of challenges and
misguided advice from doctors that harmed her physical and mental
health and quality of life. It was only when she started
researching Gut and Psychology Syndrome diet (GAPS) and went on the
GAPS protocol that she was able to turn her health — and her life —
around.
After Smith contracted Lyme, she (unusually) got her period for
four months straight. Doctors put her on different birth control
pills, but eventually they told her to just “go lay in bed with my
feet up,” she told WellBe. The constant bleeding led to a bacterial
infection in her uterus and she went on a heavy dose of
antibiotics. That triggered a flu-like reaction and she started
losing cognitive function. A friend suggested she get tested for
Lyme, and it came back positive; she was put on antibiotics. Those
antibiotics caused her to break out in tiny little bumps; she was
put on more antibiotics. Her stomach became swollen; more
antibiotics.
