As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist specializing in digestive health, I help people who have either been diagnosed with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrom

e, celiac disease, gastroparesis, and others (or who are experiencing digestive symptoms with no apparent cause) find relief. I am very good at helping patients identify their food sensitivities and intolerances, and build a diet plan consisting of the very best foods they can eat for their digestive and overall health. The results of eating the right foods for your body will amaze you! Nutrition consultations are provided in person at my Phoenix and Mesa offices, over the phone, or via Skype. I also help people who may not necessarily have digestive-related concerns, but who want to be healthier or address other symptoms. I teach patients how to tune into their body and use mindfulness to guide their eating and lifestyle habits. I also provide nutrition education and help to clarify the mixed messages that are out there regarding nutrition and various diets. These services are provided in-person via individual consultation, over the phone, or online. Click the “Refine” tab to learn more about my online nutrition and lifestyle coaching program.

Lab reports don’t always tell the full story.

They follow rules. Your body doesn’t.

Here’s the gap most people don’t realize:
👉 Many SIBO tests rely on changes from baseline, not absolute levels
👉 So if your baseline starts high, it can mask what’s actually happening
👉 And you can end up with a “normal” result that doesn’t reflect reality

That’s how someone can have significantly elevated gas levels and still be told everything looks fine.
The issue isn’t the data. It’s how that data is filtered through rigid criteria.

Once you start looking at the full pattern, not just the label, the picture changes quickly.

In Episode 102, I break down real examples like this so you can understand what your results are actually saying. Click the link, “When Your SIBO Test Is 'Negative,' But Your Symptoms Say Otherwise,” to tune into the full video: https://youtu.be/XShNCJk_Jxo?si=BPT_CSbWZNFfdrUu

Not all SIBO tests are measuring the same thing.

And that’s where a lot of confusion starts.

Most people assume a “negative” result means no overgrowth, but the type of test used determines how much of your gut was actually evaluated.

Here’s what most people aren’t told:
👉 Some tests only reflect what’s happening in the early small intestine
👉 Others travel further and reveal patterns that would otherwise be missed
👉 So depending on the test used, you might only be seeing part of the picture

That’s how someone can test “negative,” while symptoms are still clearly pointing to something going on.
This isn’t about choosing the “better” test. It’s about understanding what your test could (and couldn’t) detect.

In Episode 102, I walk through exactly how this works and how to know if your results actually gave you the full picture. Click the link, “When Your SIBO Test Is 'Negative,' But Your Symptoms Say Otherwise,” to tune into the full video: https://youtu.be/XShNCJk_Jxo?si=BPT_CSbWZNFfdrUu

A “negative” SIBO test doesn’t always mean nothing is there. It often means nothing was recognized.

Most people are told their results are normal, and that’s where the conversation ends.

But here’s what’s actually happening behind the scenes:
👉 SIBO breath tests rely on strict cutoffs, not full pattern recognition
👉 Those cutoffs don’t account for baseline levels, timing shifts, or symptom context
👉 So if your results don’t fit neatly into those rules, they get dismissed

That’s how people stay stuck for months (or years) with symptoms that were never fully explained.

This isn’t about the test being wrong. It’s about the lens used to interpret it. Once that lens changes, everything starts to make more sense.

If you’ve ever felt like your results didn’t match your symptoms, I break this down step-by-step in Episode 102, including what to actually look for in your test so you’re not left guessing.

If you’ve been strict with your diet but still feel stuck, this is your wake-up call. 🚨

In this episode #101 of The Gut Health Dialogues, I walk through the most common mistakes people make on a low FODMAP vegetarian approach, and why they keep you in the cycle of restriction without real results.

Because more restrictions aren’t always the answer, and in many cases, it’s what’s keeping you stuck.

A lot of people are told one round of antibiotics should solve SIBO. But methane doesn’t usually work that way.

When symptoms linger or return, it doesn’t mean treatment “failed” — it often means the approach didn’t match the physiology.

In Episode 89, I explain why methane SIBO requires a more specific, sequenced strategy, and why relying on a single tool rarely creates lasting change. Click the link to watch E89 to understand what actually works: https://youtu.be/x1FD4uj-u1E?si=FkxhEHJp0HbmF5ix

Most low FODMAP meals fail before you even take the first bite.

Not because of the ingredients, but because of how they’re put together.

When meals aren’t structured properly, you end up stuck in this cycle: hungry → bloated → unsatisfied → snacking → more symptoms

That’s why episode #101 of the Gut Health Dialogues Podcast walks through a simple framework for building meals that actually work with your gut, not against it. Click the link to tune in: https://youtu.be/dg37Gu1UHms?si=ZY1ODnCt-U-D5TeK

And if you don’t want to piece this together yourself, I created a Low FODMAP Vegetarian Meal Plan + Food Guide with full meals, recipes, and a grocery list so you can just follow the structure: https://alyssa-simpson.mykajabi.com/freebie-low-fodmap-vegetarian-food-guide-pdf

When digestion is slow and inflamed, eating less doesn’t create healing, it often reinforces the problem. Methane SIBO requires a very different strategy than generic gut or weight-loss advice. Diet plays a role, but only when it’s used intentionally.

In this episode, I explain why diet alone can’t change the underlying physiology and how a methane-specific approach fits into real recovery in Episode 89. Click the link to watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/x1FD4uj-u1E?si=FkxhEHJp0HbmF5ix

This is the part no one tells you…

You can build an entire day of “low FODMAP” meals, and still end up bloated by the afternoon.
Not because anything was wrong individually, but because your gut experiences the total load, not isolated foods.

That’s why it can feel inconsistent and unpredictable, like you’re doing the same thing, but getting different results.

And if you want a done-for-you version of that (so you don’t have to mentally calculate every meal), I put together a Low FODMAP Vegetarian Meal Plan + Food Guide to take that guesswork off your plate: https://alyssa-simpson.mykajabi.com/freebie-low-fodmap-vegetarian-food-guide-pdf

In episode #101 of the Gut Health Dialogues Podcast, I break down how to spot these patterns and structure your meals so your gut actually gets a break. Click the link to tune in: https://youtu.be/dg37Gu1UHms?si=ZY1ODnCt-U-D5TeK

Most people are told SIBO equals weight loss. So when weight gain shows up instead, it feels confusing, even discouraging.

Methane SIBO changes how the body handles energy, inflammation, and storage. That’s why eating less, exercising more, or tightening food rules doesn’t always lead to results.

In Episode 89, Alyssa explains the metabolic side of methane SIBO and why standard advice often misses the mark for this group. Click the link to watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/x1FD4uj-u1E?si=FkxhEHJp0HbmF5ix

Eating “low FODMAP” foods but still dealing with bloating?

In this episode #101 of The Gut Health Dialogues podcast, I break down one of the biggest misconceptions about low FODMAP: it’s not just WHAT you eat, it’s how much and how it’s structured.

Most people treat FODMAP like a blacklist, when in reality, your tolerance is dose-dependent.

P.S. If you want a done-for-you structure that actually works, download my Low FODMAP Vegetarian Meal Plan + Food Guide: https://alyssa-simpson.mykajabi.com/freebie-low-fodmap-vegetarian-food-guide-pdf

Once you understand this, the diet stops feeling restrictive, and starts working the way it’s supposed to.

This episode will completely change how you approach low FODMAP, and help you finally start expanding your diet again.
