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.

Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In ho Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In honor of May being National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, I decided to share about this connection I’ve noticed in case it helps anyone else. I included my story with allergies and insomnia, what the research says, and some things that have helped me (Neti pot and Allegra are only the tip of the iceberg). Go to BridgetownNutrition.com or find the link to my blog in my profile.

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱B NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱Between my husband and I, we have nearly four decades of experience suffering from headaches and migraines. BUT, we get them far less frequently than we used to. And dietary, lifestyle, and natural remedies are the reason. So I wrote up my top, research-based natural remedies for relief and prevention. Link is in my bio. #headache #migraine #naturalremedies

I feel so grateful to have this incredibly patient, funny, smart, and caring man in my life. 

Since this account is all about having hope in your struggles with “chronic” illness, I want to share part of my personal journey with you. In my early to mid 20s, I was trying to date while suffering from severe food intolerances and chronic digestive, skin, and other health issues. It felt incredibly frustrating and discouraging at times because I encountered people who looked down upon me as a future partner because of my health issues. 

But not this guy. He saw the strength I gained from my struggles. 

I knew he was a keeper when I developed my first UTI of our relationship (I was SUPER prone to them). While I rested and tried to recover naturally, he sat in a spot where he could see me and kept glancing over to check on me between cracking open each cashew. And after that, he wanted to learn everything he could to make sure he never contributed to me getting one again. Good news: I haven’t needed a course of antibiotics since then!

I just want you to know that good people are out there. Don’t feel hopeless. Be patient and true to yourself. Chronic illness can be one of life’s greatest teachers if you let it be.
