Are Fermented Foods Sabotaging Your Recovery?

One question that comes up regularly is whether or not SIBO and fermented foods can mix, otherwise known as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Luckily, I recently had the chance to talk with Dr. Allison Siebecker at The Healthy Gut Summit about SIBO.

According to Dr. Siebecker, in order to heal SIBO, you must change your diet and add a prokinetic, or motility stimulant.

Fermented foods do not feed bacterial overgrowth because they are predigested—much of the microbial activity that would happen in your gut takes place in a jar. Once you eat them, fermented foods are easily broken down.

Indeed, fermented foods and probiotics help support the recovery from SIBO. They strengthen the gut barrier, soothe away inflammation, and minimize the production of gas.

It’s important to remember that SIBO is often the sign of a problem, not the problem itself.

Clearly, SIBO can be a very complex disorder!

I would love to hear your thoughts on SIBO and what you’ve been through. Leave a comment on Facebook, and let me know what has worked for you.

Love,

Donna
