The Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) diet was originally designed by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride to treat autism, dyspraxia, ADD, dyslexia, ADHD, depression, schizophrenia and other psychological disorders. Because GAPS heals and seals the gut, it has found a following amongst those with celiac, Hashimoto's and other autoimmune disorders. Recent research indicates T2 diabetes may be an autoimmune disorder, thus my experiment of n=1 to see if GAPS improves my health after 25 years as a T2.

The whey from yogurt is a stage 1 food; yogurt itself is a Full Gaps food.
The big difference in making GAPS-style yogurt is that it needs to be cultured for 24 hours to be sure all the lactose is broken down. I expect this also increases the probiotics quite a bit also. And I'd expect the yogurt to be more tart.
My "normal" crockpot method doesn't work anymore because the milk doesn't stay warm enough long enough.
