Thanks! I am modifying as I go, and rotating any offenders so no build up in my system. So far so good, but its’ very tough. I will ck out your book! Sounds more gut friendly and will help I hope with wt loss too!

In reply to Karyn. Karyn, I am not familiar with the fast metabolism diet. Not sure I would go too crazy with the high fodmap foods with a history of SIBO or at a minimum I would monitor for exacerbation of symptoms and peel back on the fodmaps if they seem to lead to consistent symptoms. Rapid weight loss initially on a diet is often water loss--but certainly the key to any weight management diet is one with balanced nutrition for good health. It's not ideal or healthy to lose rapid amounts of weight week after week. My latest book 21 Day Tummy includes a low FODMAP meal plan for weight loss that I created with Reader's Digest that is calorie controlled but nutritious.

Kate, I love ALL your recipes, and as I was dx with SIBO a yr ago, I try to follow the FODMAP eating plan. That being said, I recently started the “fast metabolism diet”, but I am sorry to say, it looks like most of her foods are on the NO NO list for FODMAP. I have lost 7.2 lbs in 10 days, but probably because I’ve been avoiding the usual bad guys(sugar/gluten/corn/soy/juices/alcohol,etc.
I’ve been cutting back on those FODMAP offenders, but do you think its’ possible to do both of these at the same time? I’m modifying when I can, but don’t know if that is enough. Thanks! karyn
PS. yeah,I feel great, and live in the kitchen now! LOL

There was a difference in opinion–Dr. Pimentel does not use probiotics but many of the naturopaths do.

One thing I would love to know from the conference is if there was any discussion around the use of probiotics and/or fermented foods in SIBO patients. I’ve heard Dr Siebecker mention one thing, and Dr Pimentel something totally different.

Thanks!
