Want a super easy and SIBO-safe vegetable recipe? Congratulations, you have found it! For this recipe, I like to cut up my veggies on Sunday and bake a batch right before I plan to eat (roasted veggies taste best when warm- reheating will probably make them soggy). These pre-cut veggies lasted 5 days in the…

SIBO-Friendly Pumpkin Pie (Low FODMAP, GF, DF, Egg-Free)
Last year I was the one who had to sit there staring at my family while they ate dessert. This year, I vowed to be able to enjoy it with them. I had to experiment a couple of times to get the pie just the way I wanted it, but I have officially created a…
Simple Lettuce Wraps w/ Almond Butter Sauce (Low FODMAP, GF, DF, SCD)
I have always been a big fan of Thai food, especially salad rolls with a delicious peanut sauce. Unfortunately, there are all sorts of ingredients in those that can be problematic for those on a restrictive SIBO diet (garlic, peanuts, sugar, soy, who knows what else!). This Simple Lettuce Wraps recipe hits the spot when…
Tangy Spiced Delicata Squash (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)
I find myself fascinated by foods that I have never tried before. Delicata squash fell into that category a couple of months ago and I have made it my mission to figure out how to make a delicious, SIBO-friendly recipe with it. Delicata is a delightful winter squash and the only one I know of…
Organic Urine Acid Test Confirms Sulfur Suspicions
I do not remember ever being as excited to go to a doctor’s appointment as I was today. Why? Because today I got to see the results of my Organix Comprehensive Urine Profile from Genova Diagnostics. One of the markers that I found to be interesting from these test results was that I am positive for…
SIBO-Friendly Convenience Foods
One of the most challenging aspects of following a strict SIBO-friendly diet is finding foods that you do not have to make for yourself. Convenience foods are necessary when you do not make enough food or things just do not go as planned. The first several months (and even beyond), it can be really challenging…
The Delicate Carbohydrate Balance with SIBO
Carbohydrates are the most frustrating and confusing part of the SIBO healing process. Bacteria in the small intestine LOVE carbohydrates and they express their love by leaving you bloated, gassy, experiencing abdominal pain, and with all the other lovely gastrointestinal symptoms. Here is the confusing part: bacteria do not love all carbohydrates equally. See Low…
Symptom Timeline
I have compiled a timeline of events and symptoms that I believe are related to my SIBO. My hope is that by sharing my experiences, people will be able to find similarities to their stories and add to the wealth of knowledge about a condition that is really just beginning to be understood. Also, I hope…
Oven Baked Lemon Dill Steelhead (Low FODMAP, GF, DF, SCD)
I went grocery shopping at Food-Front Co-Op yesterday and found some wild-caught steelhead on sale for $9.99/lb (normally $14.99/lb). I decided to buy it as a nice treat for my breakfasts this week. Yes, I did say breakfasts. Sometimes with SIBO, eating meat or fish for breakfast is a necessity because it is better tolerated…
Breakdown of Diagnoses
There is no doubt in my mind that SIBO is at the root of my current health crisis. This blog post will break down the different conditions that I am suffering from to try to make sense of it for both myself and others. I am hoping that anyone who has had similar experiences can…
