Hi.. thank you for asking. The Fodmap diet is not completely appropriate for SIBO but it is a guide. Basically the guidelines for me are gluten-free, dairy-free, low fat, low fiber, low sugar, and very limited for sugars both natural and artificial, of many kinds. I cannot tolerate glucose syrup, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, complex sugars. So that eliminates apples, pears, ripe bananas, mango, melons, peaches, avocado, dates, raisins, sweet potatoes, figs, beets or any other fruits or vegetables that produce methane (like chickpeas) when digested in the small intestine. I can eat small portions of berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pineapple, all citrus, kiwi, only cooked carrots, zucchini, green beans, parsnips, spinach, kale, chard, bok choy, rice, quinoa, oats, GF oatmeal, eggs, fish, 93% lean beef, pork tenderloin, chicken or turkey breast, non-dairy, low sugar yogurt, Whole Foods sourdough bread, nuts, nut butters that are sugar free. It's complicated but experimenting for each person is key to finding what works for you. Snacks are challenging!! I bake my own muffins with yogurt, banana, berries, and walnuts. Snack bars brands that are decent to buy are Aloha, GoMacro, and Lara. I like Skinny Pop for a snack. It's recommended to cook with olive oil mainly because of its purity and heart health benefits.
