Your imagination really is the limit when it comes to conjuring up different popsicles flavours. But if you’re not feeling very inspired, I’ve done the work for you. My SIBO friendly popsicles can be enjoyed year round. I have a couple of different popsicle moulds that I’ve collected over the years but you can also use large ice cube trays or even small cups if you don’t have anything. Just ensure you use food grade wooden sticks.
If you’d like to get all of the recipes for these popsicles, comment FROZEN and I’ll DM you the link to my SIBO Frozen Desserts eCookbook, plus I’ll share an ice cream recipe from the book for free!

Can you be sad when you’re eating ice cream?! I’ve never been! It fills me with so much joy. My first job was at an ice cream shop and I scooped ice creams for 3.5 years, always with the biggest smile on my face. Ice creams just makes me so happy!

And then came SIBO and I couldn’t tolerate it. 😢

Not one to be deterred, I set about creating a SIBO friendly ice cream cookbook so that you and I can still enjoy our favourite frozen treats (comment FROZEN to get one of the recipes and a link to the cookbook).

I wrote the recipes so you can make the with and without an ice cream churn. I’ve tested the recipes both ways and always go back to using my churn as I get consistently creamer results every time (hint: you can pick one up pretty cheaply and it’s a game changer if you love ice cream as much as me!).

So, if you’d like to be drooling over a delicious bowl of SIBO friendly ice cream this weekend, comment FROZEN and I’ll send you the link to the cookbook (and share a recipe with you too!).

What’s your fav ice cream flavour?

If you do anything this weekend, make a big pot of soup! It’s like a warming hug for your tummy and your soul. And if you’re a fan of veggie soups, you’ll love these 16 veg-based soups from my SIBO Soups eCookbook. I’ve just given the book a major review and added more yummy recipes to it. If you’d like to get my new minestrone soup recipe, comment MINESTRONE and I’ll DM you the recipe plus the link to grab the whole cookbook.

I have always loved fish and seafood soups. During my recent trip to Thailand, I could have bathed in big pots of prawn (shrimp) Tom yum soup. When I was diagnosed with SIBO, I set out to make delicious soup recipes that didn’t use onion and garlic as their base yet still taste delicious. And I couldn’t create a SIBO soup cookbook without dedicating a chapter to seafood soups! My all time favourite is there (Tom yum) with my other favourites like clam chowder, bouillabaisse and laksa. All of these and more (50 recipes in total) are available in my SIBO soups digital cookbook. I’ve just given it a big refresh and if your’d like to get your hands on the new chicken & vegetable broth recipe (perfect for flare days), comment broth and I’ll DM you the recipe (and link to the full cookbook).
What’s your favourite soup? Let me know 👇🏼

Almost every chicken soup recipe starts the same way. With a base of onion and garlic.

Which is exactly why most of them are off the table when you have SIBO.

There are 10 chicken and poultry soups in my SIBO Soups eCookbook and not one of them will leave you regretting dinner. Real chicken soup. Proper flavour. Nothing hiding in it that shouldn’t be there.

Every recipe is coded Calm, Balance or Expand, so you can see at a glance whether it suits where your gut is at today.

And each one shows whether it’s suitable for the SIBO Bi Phasic Diet, SIBO Specific Food Guide, Low FODMAP and Low Fermentation Diet, so whatever plan you’re on, you know what you can cook.

The new Chicken & Vegetable Broth recipe is my pick for the hard weeks. Gentle, restorative, and it freezes beautifully in single portions for the days when standing at the stove is not happening.

Want it? Comment BROTH and I’ll send the recipe over, plus the link if you want the other 49 soup recipes. And make sure you’re following me so it can land in your DMs.

I was making a major mistake with my SIBO recovery, and it cost me a lot.

I was so scared of relapsing that I restricted everything. A smaller and smaller plate, fewer and fewer foods. I thought if I just stayed strict enough, I would finally get better.

Here is what I did not understand. Relapse does not happen because you ate the wrong thing. It happens when the underlying causes of your SIBO have not been addressed. The diet was only ever calming my symptoms, temporarily.

So I changed one thing. I stopped white-knuckling restriction and started focusing on nourishing my body instead. Expanding my diet gave me better nutrient intake and fed my broader microbiome, the very thing that supports long-term recovery.

That shift changed everything.

If you have been stuck in the restriction cycle, come and learn the next step. I am running my free SIBO Diet Webinar tomorrow, 10.30am AEST (Tues 30 June). That is 8.30pm ET (Mon 29 June if you are in the US).

Most people with SIBO are handed a list of foods to avoid, and then left there. No one tells them how to expand their diet. So they stay restricted, for months, sometimes years.

This free toolkit is the next step. I teach you exactly how I help my 1-1 clients expand their diet, no matter how limited it is when we start.

You get The SIBO Diet Protocol eBook, the companion nutritional guide, and a bonus cookbook with 40+ recipes coded for Calm, Balance and Expand. Plus a seat at my free SIBO Diet Webinar, where I walk you through how to expand your plate and eat freely again.

It it’s yours for free, valued at $67.

👉🏼 Comment PROTOCOL and I will send your link straight to your DMs.

Everyone obsesses over WHAT to eat with SIBO. Far fewer people talk about WHEN to eat and the spacing between your meals.

👉🏼 Comment PROTOCOL for more info

The gap between meals is when your migrating motor complex kicks in. Think of it as your gut’s cleaning wave, sweeping bacteria through so they do not build up where they should not, and all of that partially digested food gets moved down and out.

Constant snacking and grazing switches off that wave. And that can stall your recovery no matter how clean your plate is. Plus all those symptoms you feel each day can hang around as there’s never a chance for the gut to clean up after each meal.

I cover how to work with your meal timing, with real examples, during my free webinar on 30 June at 10.30am Melb/Syd time (29 June at 8.30pm ET if you’re in the US).

Comment PROTOCOL and I will DM you the free download and your invite, plus the nutritional guide and 40+ delicious recipes.

See you in three days!

Yes, the SIBO diet 🙄 (and that coming from the author of the world’s first dedicated SIBO cookbooks!). While the SIBO diet can be good for a SHORT TERM intervention, it should never be used long term. Yet I’m constantly seeing people in my clinic who’ve been on restricted diets for YEARS with no support to expand their diet and eat freely again.
👉🏼 Comment PROTOCOL and I’ll send you my 3 ebook bundle - my 3 mode protocol which is all about expanding your diet, not restricting it, my nutritional guide and bonus cookbook with 40+ delicious recipes. Plus, you’ll get a free seat at next week’s SIBO diet webinar where I’ll show you how to get off restricted diets and eat with freedom.
