==Evidence== The GAPS diet was published in 2004 but no clinicial trials involving [[ME/CFS]] or [[fibromyalgia]] patients have been carried out. Very little scientific research has been published about the GAPS diet, and the theory that autism and mental illnesses are caused by gut dysbiosis and gut problems is largely based on Campbell-McBride's personal observations and limited research from the late 1990s, and this theory is not widely accepted.<ref name="intro" /><ref name="book" /> In 2018, the UK's [[Advertising Standards Authority]] (ASA) upheld a complaint about claims on the Bubbling Life website that GAPS Nutrition was effective for [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] (CFS), [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] (ME) and [[anxiety]] in adults and children, and that also referred to Natasha Campbell-McBride's "research and experience."<ref name="ASABL2018">{{Cite web | url = https://www.asa.org.uk/rulings/elle-fox--a18-443476.html | title = ASA Ruling on Elle Fox t/a Bubbling Life | last = Advertising Standards Authority {{!}} Committee of Advertising Practice | first = |website=[[Advertising Standards Authority]] | date = July 18, 2018|access-date=2022-06-06}}</ref> The ASA upheld the complaint that this was misleading health advertising because Bubbling Life did not provide substantial evidence in response.<ref name="ASABL2018"/>
