I remember what it felt like to live with SIBO and feel completely alone.

I didn’t know what to eat.
I didn’t know who to trust.
And no one really understood what I was going through.

That’s why I’ve created SIBO Office Hours, a live Q&A with me and naturopath Sandra Tenge where you can ask us anything about symptoms, diet, testing, or treatment.

You’ll also meet others just like you.
This is a safe, supportive space to feel seen, heard, and guided.

📅 Monday 21 July @ 8.30pm ET (US) / Tuesday 22 July @ 10.30am AEST (AUS)

💲 $59 USD
🎁 Includes replay, transcript, 1-month free membership + 15-min discovery call (valued at $180 USD)

Pst! I've got a secret to share with you! I've been quietly working away on my FIFTH SIBO cookbook while on maternity leave and I can't wait to share it with you! It's launching this month and I'd love for you to be the first to get a copy. Simply register your interest if you'd like to know when it launches, and I'll email you straight away.⁠
My SIBO Frozen Desserts eCookbook is a digital cookbook filled with mouth watering and SIBO friendly ice creams, popsicles, granitas, sorbets, ice cream cookie sandwiches, ice cream sauces and more. ⁠
Each recipe is coded with which SIBO diet it's suitable for (eg. Bi Phasic, Low FODMAP, SIBO Specific Food Guide, Low Fermentation, etc) and also shares other diet types (eg. gluten free, dairy free, etc). There are recipes suitable for all phases of your SIBO diet, from the early days when you may not be tolerating a lot, through to when you can eat more and enjoy more diversity.⁠
Plus, you don't need special equipment to make these desserts - I include instruction for both ice cream makers and simply freezing in a container.⁠
Comment 'interested' and I'll DM you with the link to fill in the form so I can let you know when the book launches.

If you’re looking for a SIBO friendly Anzac Biscuit recipe for this coming Friday, I’ve got you covered with this tried and tested recipe. It’s suitable for Phase 1 Semi Restricted on the SIBO Bi Phasic Diet by .nirala.jacobi_thesibodoctor as well as being free from grains, gluten and dairy and it’s also vegetarian.

Happy baking and lest we forget. 🌹

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup desiccated (shredded) coconut
1 cup walnuts (chopped finely in a food processor)
1/3 cup butter or coconut oil (if DF)
1 tsp bi carb (baking) soda
3 tbs honey
1 tbs water
1 tsp vanilla

METHOD
1. Preheat your oven to 180C/350F. Line a baking tray (sheet) with baking (parchment) paper. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, place the almond flour, coconut and walnuts. Mix together and create a well in the middle of the mixture.
3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter (or coconut oil) and honey together. Take the saucepan off the heat and add the bi carb (baking) soda and water. Stir until foamy.
4. Pour your honey and butter mix into the well in your dry ingredients. Add the vanilla. Mix until well combined.
5. Take dessert spoons of the mixture and roll it in your palm into a ball, as firmly as possible. Be patient, this mix holds together well but needs a little handling. Place the ball on your baking tray (sheet) and flatten out a little.
6. Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven. Leave to cool on the baking sheet and don’t handle until they have hardened.

If you're entertaining guests this Easter and need a SIBO friendly menu, I've got you covered! All recipes are based on the SIBO Bi Phasic Diet by Dr Nirala Jacobi.⁠
Why not start with a modern take on an old favourite - a shrimp cocktail. Main course is a delicious baby snapper with lemon roasted potatoes. You can keep it simple with a green salad on the side or jazz things up with my beetroot and feta salad.⁠
To finish, nothing beats my chocolate and coconut truffles.⁠
If you'd like to get your hands on all of these recipes, simply comment 'Easter menu' and I'll DM you the links to each recipe right away.

My chocolate truffles are a really easy yet seriously delicious Easter egg alternative that's suitable for Phase 2 on the SIBO Bi Phasic Diet. I also like gifting these to friends (and they never know they're a SIBO treat!).

These seriously rich, decadent chocolate truffles are the perfect after dinner treat, or wrap in a box as a pretty present. Free from sugar, gluten & dairy.

Are you following a low FODMAP or SIBO diet and want to enjoy a Hot Cross Bun this Easter? I’ve got you covered! Here in Australia, HCBs are serious business but they are sadly off limits when following a SIBO diet. That's why I hit the kitchen to create a low FODMAP diet recipe and a SIBO bi phasic diet recipe so you've got two delicious options to choose from. Sadly dried fruit is off limits on both diets, but I've incorporated all of the delicious spices that make the HCB so delicious and they're a fabulous alternative.⁠
Comment ‘hot cross buns’ and I’ll shoot over the recipe via DM. Happy baking!

One of the HARDEST things I found on my SIBO diet was giving up sweet treats. I am a self confessed sweet tooth, so giving up sugar was reaaaallllyyy hard for me.⁠
⁠
If you've been part of The Healthy Gut community for a while, you will know that I am a little bit obsessed with turning 'regular' sweet treats into SIBO friendly sweet treats! ⁠
⁠
And with Easter just around the corner, now is the perfect time for me to share my top 25 SIBO Easter chocolate recipes with you! Enjoy hot cross buns, sugar free chocolate, homemade Easter eggs, chocolate truffles, and so much more!⁠

Chocolate IS possible this Easter when you have SIBO! If you’re willing to make your own (which is actually pretty easy), you can still enjoy the chocolate feels with the fam this Easter but without the gut irritating challenges of sugar laden commercial chocolate. If you’d like to get your hands on this recipe for my SIBO Chocolate Easter Eggs, simply comment ‘eggs’ and I’ll dm you the link right away.

Are you ready to reintroduce new foods into your diet but feel nervous, scared or overwhelmed at the thought of it? When I cleared my SIBO I was elated, but I quickly felt really anxious at the thought of eating new foods that had been off limits during my treatment.

I regularly guide my clients on how to reintroduce new foods into their diet so they can eat with freedom and diversity again.

If you'd like to learn the exact steps I follow, comment 'reintroduce' to learn more about my forthcoming masterclass on food reintroduction after your SIBO treatment or head to https://thehealthygut.com/product/food-reintroduction-masterclass/

What would you like to know about food reintroduction? Let me know below.
