Hi, I bought the book about SIBO and seem to have lost it. I may have emailed you previously about this issue but can’t find a reply.

Thanks, Marlene Harry

In reply to Nancy. Nancy, I recommend working with a registered dietitian to help sort out food intolerances. Everyone is a bit different. A dietitian can apply a personalized approach for you.

Hi,
I need to get back on track to eating. Was diagnosed also with diverticulitis on 4/16 and still can’t keep things in. Any recommendations on how to slowly get back to where I should be so I can start the above. I was just eating English muffin, and eggs, cereal – that wasn’t helping – so I gave up the bread, now I have just eggs, gluten free cereal, banana – added chicken last night – yeah so far so good.
Thanks,
Nancy

In reply to Shari.

For the 21 Day Tummy–you could substitute in phase 3 breakfasts instead.

Hello Kate,

I’m looking at trying your diet but I’m have a problem with the first phase. You rely heavily on the smoothies. However I cannot stand the taste of yogurt, is there an acceptable swap I could make? Thanks.

In reply to Lucia Copland. I would think the scallion oil would be suitable. As the FODMAPs in the scallion bulb--are water-soluble, they should not leach in to the oil.

I finally figured out that Trader Joe’s Garlic “flavored” olive oil contains FODMAPs. So I am going to switch to Boyajian Garlic INFUSED olive oil, as you recommend. Boyajian has a product called Scallion Oil listed under their infused oils. The web site has no other information. If the Scallion Oil is truly an infused oil, it should be safe, right?

In reply to Shanon Gale.

Shanon–there is not a resource available for what you are looking for… I had thought that this would be the direction of the diet–that we’d all have access to the FODMAP composition of foods–and calculate suitable meals. Unfortunately, published food data and FODMAPs is too limited to really address the diet in that manner. I can tell you that my patients–more often than not–can eat a medium size salad with all of the low/green lighted produce without an issue. Remember protein rich foods such as meat, chicken and fish–on their own have no FODMAPs and there is no FODMAPs in rice. So eating a balanced meal is key to feeling full and nourished without overdoing the FODMAPs more commonly found in some produce, some grains such as wheat, barley and rye-and legumes.
Best!
Kate
