Managing SIBO & Low-FODMAP Diet

Managing SIBO & Low-FODMAP Diet

The low-FODMAP diet is a scientifically validated approach for managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional digestive disorders. This comprehensive guide walks you through the elimination and reintroduction phases of the low-FODMAP protocol to help you identify your specific food triggers.

At Nourish Medical Center, we use the low-FODMAP diet as a diagnostic tool to help patients identify which fermentable carbohydrates may be contributing to their digestive symptoms. This handout provides clear guidelines for implementing the protocol successfully.

You’ll Learn:

• What FODMAPs are and how they affect digestion
• Low-FODMAP and high-FODMAP food lists
• How to structure elimination and reintroduction phases

This handout includes comprehensive food lists organized by FODMAP category (oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols), portion size guidance, and a systematic reintroduction protocol. You’ll learn how to identify your personal tolerance levels and create a sustainable long-term eating plan.

Who This Handout Is For:

• Individuals with IBS or functional digestive disorders
• Patients with chronic bloating, gas, or abdominal pain
• Anyone with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
• Those working with a provider on digestive health
