The Sibo Diet for Beginners Nathan Cole

The SIBO diet is a temporary elimination diet that incorporates low-FODMAP foods to decrease bacterial overgrowth. It typically lasts 2 to 6 weeks. While seen as an effective treatment method, the SIBO diet treats symptoms but may not treat the underlying cause. Traditional treatment methods shouldn't be ignored. Prior to incorporating any dietary changes to your treatment plan, discuss your options with your doctor. It's important to bring FODMAPs back into your diet when your symptoms ease. This will prevent healthy bacteria loss. If your symptoms begin to worsen after implementing the SIBO or low-FODMAP diet, seek immediate medical attention.
