Food Strategy

Fiber tolerance may be very low when digestive function is impaired. Nuts, grains, seeds, and beans are recommended for immediate avoidance in many cases because they may be hard to digest and aggravate symptoms. Some people may temporarily do better with no vegetables and a carnivore diet to remove fiber and starve microbes in the small intestine. Intermittent fasting is paired with digestive support and fiber restriction as a strategy for SIBO-like bloating.
