Sensitivity notes

Why low fermentation diet 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
