SIBO Diet

For anyone who has suffered from a chronic medical condition, you will probably sympathize with this statement: “I just want to be healthy already!”  Unfortunately, there is no “flip of a switch” answer for recovery when you have SIBO or another chronic condition.

Healing from chronic illness requires self-control, determination, overcoming setbacks, and will-power.  A huge part of this is developing a new approach to eating in a world surrounded by temptations, convenience food, and nutrient-poor options.

Having gone through the experience myself, I understand how overwhelming it can be to make dietary changes.  As a holistic nutritionist specializing in SIBO and related conditions, my goal is to help you navigate these changes to make the process as streamline as possible.

I understand how overwhelming it can be to make dietary changes

A variety of dietary approaches have been proposed for reducing the symptoms of SIBO.  I have experience working with the following diets:

  • Dr. Siebecker’s SIBO Specific Diet
  • Low FODMAP
  • Low Sulfur (Thiols)
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Paleo
  • Low Fruit
  • Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
  • Autoimmune Paleo (AIP)

Some of the categories of foods that are commonly limited or eliminated on a healing protocol include:

  • Dairy
  • Gluten
  • Soy
  • FODMAPs
  • Grains
  • Legumes
  • Fruit
  • Sugar
  • Nightshades

While it is not usually necessary to eliminate all of these categories, many who recover from SIBO have found that dietary changes were a necessary part of getting them feeling healthy again.  These individuals often feel a sense of renewed hope when they are no longer controlled by their symptoms and can pinpoint which foods are triggers for them.

Unfortunately, some individuals who are desperate for symptom relief (including myself before I studied nutrition!) make drastic dietary changes without understanding the repercussions that can result from nutrient deficiencies.  When eliminating an entire category of foods, there are many factors that must be considered to avoid creating even more serious issues.

Wondering if you might have nutrient deficiencies?  Confused about which dietary approach to take?  Thinking about taking supplements but don’t know what is best?  Check out my services to see how I may be able to help you sort through the madness.

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.
