Cookbooks

SIBO Summer Cookbook– written by Australian SIBO recipe developer Rebecca Coomes, this cookbook is a first of its kind! All recipes are entirely compliant with the phased SIBO diet designed by Australian SIBO expert Dr. Nirala Jacobi.  Many of the recipes are also compatible with Dr. Siebecker’s SIBO Specific Food Guide, although not specifically indicated in the book.

 

SIBO Family Favourites– Rebecca Coomes does it again in her second cookbook featuring recipes compliant with the phased SIBO diet designed by Australian SIBO expert Dr. Nirala Jacobi.  She transforms your favorite symptom-provoking recipes (like pizza!) into creative culinary masterpieces that are sure to delight!

 

The FODMAP Friendly Kitchen– created by the blogger behind She Can’t Eat What, this gluten-free, low FODMAP cookbook is drool-worthy.  Some of my favorite recipes in the book include Strawberry Hemp Seed Millet Salad, Sticky Maple Lime Ginger Pulled Pork, & Peanut Butter Caramel Bars.  Note: some of the recipes contain low FODMAP dairy products (specifically, cheeses), but there are also plenty of options for those who cannot eat any dairy (like me!).

 

Practical Paleo– created by holistic nutrition consultant, Diane Sanfilippo, this cookbook provides many paleo recipes that can be adapted for those following SIBO diets.  It specifies which recipes are low FODMAP and for some, what modifications can be made to make them low FODMAP.  If you can tolerate eggs, Diane’s Pumpkin Pancakes have been a favorite in my family!

 

Mediterranean Paleo Cooking– created by two nutrition consultants and a chef, this cookbook is my go-to for fancier meals.  Recipes indicate whether they comply with AIP, Low FODMAP, SCD/GAPS, & low carb and offer modifications where possible.  There are all kinds of pizza recipes, desserts, meat/seafood dishes, and more!
