5 SIBO-Friendly Spaghetti Squash Recipes

December 3, 2015 By Riley Leave a Comment

See those spaghetti squash in the image below??  I grew them!  Okay, excitement and bragging session over.  But with the many spaghetti squash that my garden produced this year, I needed to find some SIBO-friendly spaghetti squash recipes that could spice it up in different ways so this nutrient-rich veggie didn’t get old.

SIBO-Friendly Spaghetti Squash Recipes

If you have tried spaghetti squash and found it to be bland, chances are that you either didn’t have a good recipe or you didn’t get a good squash. You can learn about tips for harvesting, storing, and selecting flavorful spaghetti squash here.

Is spaghetti squash low FODMAP?

Spaghetti squash was just tested this year by Monash University where it was determined to be low FODMAP in 1 cup servings.  Even in up to 2.5 cup servings, it was only moderate FODMAP rather than high FODMAP.

Getting enough carbohydrates on a SIBO diet can be challenging.  This is why low FODMAP, higher carb vegetables like spaghetti squash are super important.  They help in maintaining energy and preventing brain fog without causing digestive havoc.  It is all too common that I see individuals embark on a SIBO diet and report a total crash in their energy that makes it near impossible to get through the day.  Been there.  Done that.  I don’t recommend it.

I think it is very important to listen to your body’s signs and try to give it what it needs.  Sometimes we get so focused on improving digestion that we forget that we have to provide all body systems with basic nutrients in order to heal.

If you find ones that are fully green and firm, throw them in the fridge to stop the ripening (or peel and slice to keep in the freezer for longer). When ready to eat: peel, slice, and steam for a starchy side for chili, soups, and more. They’re rich in resistant starch, which helps promote a healthy gut microbiome. Ripe bananas (yellow with brown spots) give me acne and make me more congested, but not these 🎉 Gimme all that potassium, magnesium, B6, and resistant starch. Have you tried steamed green bananas?
