SIBO-Safe Sandwiches

When I had SIBO, Waffle Sandwiches were my go-to SIBO sandwich bread. I enjoyed them with breakfast sandwiches, grilled chicken sandwiches, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, and even hamburgers.I think Waffle Sandwiches are my best SIBO secret... But they are hard to make and take a lot of time. I've been hesitant to post this recipe because it is labor intensive and requires a blender, a waffle iron, a panini press, and a little bit of ...

SIBO Diet and Pregnancy

When I became pregnant with Little Bit feeding my body with the best nutrients possible was of the highest priority to me. Because of my history with SIBO, I wanted to be sure my digestion stayed healthy, my body fed, and that my growing baby had all of the nutrients he needed.Babies need protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals in order to develop more than they need carbohydrates so I wanted to focus my diet on these nutrients. Because of both ...

Tandoori Chicken

A few days ago "tandoori chicken" went through my head. And I thought I should look up a recipe to make it. I have no idea why that happened, because I had never actually eaten tandoori chicken before. A few days later, while getting caught up on Lindsay's story at Pinch of Yum (she is having a baby too!) I saw a recipe she posted in the last few weeks on freezer meals including a tandoori chicken recipe. So of course I bit. And tandoori chicken, ...

SIBO and Pregnancy

Since the birth of Little Bit I've gotten a lot of questions about SIBO and pregnancy so I want to address some of those in a post or two. When in my SIBO journey did we decided to pursue pregnancy? My husband and I decided to wait until my health was in a good place before we wanted to try to get pregnant. As most of you know, doctors told me having children of my own was not possible because of all of the health issues I had had beyond just ...

Crispy Kale

Enter the crispy kale. The sad, lonely, leafy vegetable dish that had its hay day several years ago. So, why would I post an outdated veggie recipe??? Three reasons:It's a fast and easy recipe and we all know that SIBO recipes can take WAY TOO LONG (including recipes I post, yep, totally guilty) It's my first time shooting food photography since LB was born and I needed a super easy recipe to get back into the swing of things- especially ...

SIBO and Honey

I get a lot of questions about the use of honey with SIBO. Many of my muffin, smoothie, and treat recipes call for honey. So, why do I use honey if it is not Low FODMAP? The Use of Honey For SIBO For a long time, honey was thought to be Low FODMAP because it is easy to digest and has been used for decades for those with gut health issues.However, about two years ago honey was tested and proven to be high FODMAP, even clover honey. At the ...

SIBO and Gut Motility

Gut motility in SIBO is a huge issue. After all Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is the result of unwanted bacteria hanging out in the small intestine and not moving down and out through the colon. How this bacterial overgrowth gets there can be the result of a reflux from the large intestine combined with the body not pushing the bacteria back down, disruption in the stomach to allow live bacteria to travel down into the small intestine ...

Common SIBO Mistakes

SIBO is a complex diagnosis with many doctors now treating the digestive disorder. While I am so excited that SIBO is getting the attention it deserves many treating doctors are not experts in the field, so treatments are often not as thorough and complete and they should be. The more information you can learn and take to your doctor appointments to ask questions the better off you will be. Treatments are the most effective when they contain the ...

Berry Yogurt Pops are the ideal childhood treat on a summer afternoon.This morning, as I woke up in a cloud of white I was reminded of my favorite childhood summer memories. The crisp white sheets and fluffy white summer duvet puffed and pillowed around my face. Cool summer air sweetly danced through the window and into the room with fragrant drops of floral flavors brushing against my senses. The morning sunshine peaked through the sides of ...
