Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is characterised by symptoms of pain, diarrhoea, constipation and nausea. 🤒
Although these symptoms overlap considerably with IBS symptoms, SIBO stems from the small intestine, whereas IBS relates mainly to the colon.
SIBO symptoms from gases produced by bacteria breaking down fermentable carbohydrates may be well managed using a modified FODMAP approach.
However, following a strict low FODMAP diet for more than 1 – 2 months is not recommended for either SIBO or IBS, so a personally tailored diet management approach is needed.
Stay tuned for our upcoming post explaining some fascinating new research about the bacterial species that cause SIBO. 🦠

Whilst it is much more common for food allergies to occur in children, adults can also develop food allergies.
Food allergies involve an immune reaction, and exposure to the allergen can lead to anaphylaxis.
You may have heard of people developing a seafood allergy as an adult, but what about food allergies that develop after repeated tick bites or from fruit pollens?
Our dietitians are experts in food allergy and intolerance and can help you manage your diet to prevent allergic reactions whilst optimising nutrition.

The topic of dietary management for those with IBD is incredibly confusing if you look it up online because all the information gets mixed up with dietary factors that affect the risk of IBD.
The two main conditions (Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis) also get mixed up and diet for disease control compared to symptom management is often not differentiated.
Based on recent IBD best practice treatment guidelines and an excellent article by Halmos and colleagues on the role of diet in IBD prevention and treatment, we summarise and share here the current evidence for diet in IBD.

This granola is the perfect crunchy addition to cereal, yoghurt and smoothies.
Without the high FODMAP dried fruits it will be easier on the gut for those who struggle with FODMAPs but has the perfect amount of sweetness and plenty of fibre.

This statement is a myth and a truth at the same time.
The food itself can’t affect your bowel that quickly because it takes between 2 and 5 hours (depending on your gut transit time)- to move from your mouth, through your stomach to your small intestine.
So how can it be that you getting bloating, diarrhoea or gut pain immediately after eating a ‘trigger’ food?
We can partly blame the gut-brain axis, because your brain might recall you experiencing symptoms after certain foods before and be ‘hotwired’ to warn you not to eat too much of them again by triggering symptoms immediately via the vagus nerve.
The good news is that this `hotwired` vagus nerve can be calmed down or retrained to be less sensitive to foods using specific diet and related treatments.
