Recently diagnosed with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)? To help you save your sanity while on a SIBO-specific diet, you’re gonna want to make low FODMAP recipes your BFF. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorites to help you create a meal plan that’s doable, not overwhelming and can actually support your SIBO treatment.

What is a Low FODMAP recipe?

Low FODMAP recipes and meal plans are intended only as a therapeutic treatment for IBS and SIBO. Because low FODMAP recipes are so restrictive, they can help starve the bacteria in your small intestine, helping to eliminate them and improve SIBO symptoms.

FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (see why we need an acronym?!), which are short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that the small intestine absorbs poorly. Some people experience digestive distress after eating them, especially if you’ve been diagnosed with SIBO or IBS.

Just like with any major meal plan changes, you should consult your doctor before attempting a low FODMAP plan. The restrictive nature of it isn’t sustainable, and it should be used only sparingly, under the supervision of a doctor. That said, if you’re experiencing digestive symptoms like gas, bloating, diarrhea, stomach cramping, or constipation, check in with your doctor to get to the root cause before starting something like the low FODMAP meal plan.

If you’ve already been diagnosed with SIBO or IBS and are looking for support with low FODMAP recipes, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some of our favorites.

A SIBO or IBS diagnosis doesn’t have to rule your life—we’ve seen incredible success stories! If this sounds like you, consider scheduling an appointment with one of our practitioners to start feel better, faster.

A caveat for our SIBO patients: low FODMAP is one way we treat SIBO. We also use the SIBO Specific Diet, which is more restrictive than low FODMAP, so your doctor may recommend that route, depending on your health history. As with any treatment plan, consulting with your doctor is the best first step.
