I stumbled upon this idea when talking with a client about the sautéed banana in my book (pg 171, The SIBO Diet Plan). Since I knew she was ok with a little bit of dark chocolate (as many people are, except those with histamine intolerance), I said, "Oh,...

Sardine Fritters with Spicy Sauce

I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of sardines, even though I'd like to be since they're a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D. So when I asked an intern to recipe test these for me, I hesitantly tried one. They're...

Steamed Broccoli with Lemon & Garlic

Broccoli, like other cruciferous vegetables can be hard to tolerate for some people with SIBO. If you know you tolerate broccoli well, you can certainly add it to your diet earlier. Lemon juice is a “histamine liberator” but it is tolerated by many people.

Autumn Spice Nut Butter

It's very easy to make your own nut butter and this one accentuates the flavors of fall. You can eat this by the spoonful or enjoy it on pancakes, waffles or a banana. Ingredients: 1 pound raw pecans or walnuts (I recommend a softer nut) 1/2...

Pecan Butter Blondies

(Photo by Vital Food Therapeutics Intern Marne Bishop) Not one, but two people have remarked to me, "These are life changing!" It's a pretty strong statement so even if they're not life changing for you, I hope they at least add more variety...

Buffalo Chicken Wings

Chicken wings might make you think more of the super bowl and beer than a healthy diet but the truth is they provide healthy fat and protein when made from organic, pastured chickens. Add ranch dressing made from 24 hour yogurt and they'll be a...

Chocolate Lime Gummies

If you do well with gelatin, gummies are a convenient and tasty snack and an easy way to get some protein on the go. Many people do well with smaller amounts of chocolate, which is low FODMAPs but isn't on the SIBO Specific Food Guide. If you...

Garlic Herb Almond Crackers

Pecan Butter

When people first try nuts on a SIBO diet, I recommend they do so judiciously. The nice thing about pecan butter is it's naturally sweet, so a spoonful or two by itself or with a banana can be very satisfying. Pecan butter is also great in nut butter...
