Why low fermentation food checker matters

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) diets focus on reducing fermentable foods that feed bacteria in the small intestine. Low-fermentation foods help manage symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort.

  • Low-fermentation eating reduces food for overgrown bacteria
  • Meal spacing (4-5 hours) allows the MMC to clear the gut
  • Avoid grazing - structured meals are better
  • Some find the elemental diet helpful under medical supervision
  • Address underlying causes with your healthcare provider

Ingredient notes

What to know about garlic aioli

Garlic aioli is mayonnaise loaded with raw garlic, and that garlic makes it very high in fructans, a FODMAP that commonly causes bloating and gas. Unlike plain mayonnaise, which is low FODMAP, aioli carries a real garlic load, so a dollop can trigger IBS symptoms. It is also egg and oil based, so it is not egg free and not vegan.

Watch for

  • Very high in fructans from the raw garlic, a FODMAP that drives bloating, gas and cramping
  • Poor for SIBO because that raw garlic ferments quickly in the gut
  • Egg based, so it is off limits if egg is one of your triggers and it is not vegan
