Dr. Campbell-McBride says: 
"Your teeth are sensitive because the enamel on them is too thin and is poorly nourished. So, I recommend that you stop using all toothpaste and replace it with olive oil: dip your toothbrush into good quality cold-pressed olive oil and brush as usual; rinse with water. This is based on an Aurvedic procedure called 'oil pull' which has a good ability to detoxify the mouth and initiate healing in your teeth and gums. Brush with olive oil twice a day. To nourish your teeth you need plenty of animal fats in diet and vitamins A, D and K. The animal fats will provide large amounts of those vitamins, but to add more you can take a good quality cod liver oil (preferably fermented). Sour cream made at home from raw organic cream will heal your enamel quite quickly.
While you are healing your teeth, reduce the amounts of fermented vegetables in your meals and drink their juice instead (added to soups and meat stock).", GAPS FAQS

Identifying intolerances is one of the most important issues in order to find the diet that suits better for a person.
Almost every person that suffers some kind of disease, chronic o repetitive acute sickness, is affected by some kind of food intolerance. In some cases, avoiding this intolerance can even heal the person.
The symptoms of a food intolerance are delayed, from some hours to some days, to the contrary of an allergy which develops an immediat reaction. This is why intolerances are so difficult to find out.

It is difficult to test all foods that have some chance of being problematic. However, you can use different strategies to identify whether you have any kind of intolerance.

Your best doctor is no one else but you. 
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride says: "There is no universal rule, and anyone who tries to prescribe us when we should fast when we should eat and should not be listened to. No scientist, no doctor in the world and no laboratory can tell you what you should do personally. The only authority that everyone should listen to is his own body, because Mother Nature has taken billions of years to draw it".
Our body knows exactly what is best for it, we only need to be able to listen to it. Every animal knows perfectly what to eat, for example cows instinctively eat medicinal herb when they are sick, without being told to do so. Why are we humans the only ones who don't know what is best for us? Why do we consume food that is harmful for us? What kind of factors stop us from listening to our body?
