SIBO or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth occurs when bacteria that usually grow in one part of your digestive tract, like your colon, are growing in your small intestine.
The SIBO diet is a gradual elimination diet that reduces inflammation in the digestive tract and bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine.
A simple act of eliminating only sugars can ease symptoms. Health practitioners will often suggest incorporating a diet low in FODMAPs, which are difficult-to-digest carbs that are fermented by gut bacteria in the colon.
