SIBO Diet & Nutritional Strategies
Manage bacterial fermentation, control gastrointestinal symptoms, and protect the mucosal barrier through evidence-based dietary interventions.
Fermentation Control
The low-FODMAP protocol restricts rapidly fermentable short-chain carbohydrates, starving small bowel microbes and relieving hydrogen/methane gas pressure in up to 75% of patients.
Substrate Starvation
Ketogenic and very-low-carbohydrate regimens deprive luminal microbes of fermentable sugars, while high fat intake requires careful bile acid management to prevent transit disturbances.
Fermented Foods & Histamine
While kefir and sauerkraut offer potent postbiotics, their live bacteria and biogenic amines can exacerbate active SIBO distension and mast cell histamine release if introduced prematurely.
