This year I'm keeping things simple, nourishing and plant-based.

No overwhelm
No complicated ingredients
Just small, festive steps that support your gut.

A simple start to christmas.

Remember whenever you are doing any restrictive diet like the SIBO or LOW FODMAP diet, it is essential to drink plenty of water to avoid getting a headache.

At least 2 litres or even 3 litres depending on gender and size.

Can't Have Dairy?

Dairy can be a major trigger for SIBO symtoms because of the lactose and certain proteins that feed unwanted bacteria.

But don't worry-you've got plenty of delicious, gut-friendly alternatives to keep your meals or drinks creamy and satisfying...

Best Dairy Swaps for SIBO phase 1 & 2 friendly.

Unsweetened almond milk ( up to 1 cup ) - light and low FODMAP.

Macadamia milk ( up to 1 cup ) - creamy and smooth.

Coconut milk ( up to 1/4 cup ) subtle coconut flavor, easy to digest.

Always check ingredients list for added sugars, gums and additives.

Keep a way from oat, soy, cashew milks early on due to FODMAP content.

I was sent for a healthy heart check and they organised for me to get a CT calcium score check and the receptionist rang me I had to come in to see the doctor for the results.

That made me super worried as I just assumed it was bad news. I couldn't think what could be wrong because I eat healthy.

So it shouldn't have been a surprise when the doctor told me that he had never seen a better score; it is one of the best scores he has seen.

You can imagine how happy I am. Eating well really does keep me healthy.

Maple Syrup on a Sibo Diet?

Yes-in phase 2 and beyond.

In Moderation!

Stick to 1 Tbsp or less of pure maple syrup and pair it with fat or protein to slow absorption.

Always pure, never flavoured or blended.
