I have been suffering from SIBO for 7 years. And I have to admit that I get a bit of a tired face when people start to talk about a “healthy” diet with high fibre and high carbohydrate. The obscure fact is that before I got SIBO that is the exact diet I was following – to the letter. I made sure I got AT LEAST 8 grams of fibre per day, if not more. I did this for years thinking I was doing the “right thing”. I thought I was SUPER healthy. Today, my dietary aim is very different. I have to avoid fibre like the plague. Which makes for many awkward social situations..when you have SIBO.. you cannot tolerate fibre. For that matter laxatives also seem to have an adverse effect.- Personally I find Swedish Bitters to be an effective solution as they improve digestion and aid bowel movement. However tough digestives such as bran, oats, whole grains, peppers and most fruits have become “the enemy” which before, were my favorite food groups! If I consume these food groups my tummy starts off bloated and eventually becomes totally impacted with leaky gas. I find starvation exacerbates the problem as digestion stops when you stop eating. However I will be honest, I cannot eat in the morning, because i don’t know what might happen. I find there is an approximate 6 hour period before digestive problems…this would depend on individuals. But avoiding eating in the morning helps. This only to be able to spend time with other people! Apparently with SIBO you need long breaks between meals. This helps. And so do the Swedish Bitters. And by the way, I have done all the antibiotics. They only help for a couple of months. Thereafter you have to manage the problem yourself. Cos those bugs come back! I am writing this because when this problem started I searched the web for options and the whole lot they stated, failed to lend a hand that a lot. Fibre + SIBO = tears. Would not work.. Remaining warning: keep away from weight loss plan chilly drinks just like the plague – the sweeteners will not be absorbed through the human physique and so are divine fodder for the bugs for your tummy and can make you blow up just like the Michelin man!!
