SIBO Guide and Meal Plans

Getting diagnosed with SIBO is often a relief. A relief to know you aren’t crazy and going to bed looking 6 months pregnant, in pain, and embarrassed each and every night is finally going to come to an end. It is! However, it’s going to take some work to get there! One long round of antibiotics isn’t enough to prevent SIBO from coming back. Once your SIBO test is negative, you need to go a step further to repair and repopulate your intestines. This requires a therapeutic diet for 3-6 months.

The Top 3 Diet Plans for SIBO

There are 3 diet plans most people typically follow. They are the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), Low-FODMAPs, and The Gut and Psychology Syndrome diet (GAPS). All are designed to:

  • help repair the integrity of your intestinal lining
  • help prevent the regrowth of the bacteria you just wiped out with medication and the elemental diet
  • alleviate symptoms you’ve been having
  • and all are not meant to be a long-term lifestyle, but instead a temporary, therapeutic diet

When you start researching them, the list of allowed and forbidden foods is overwhelming. They all seem to conflict with each other, and it’s hard to know which diet is best. There’s no guidance on how to transition off of them and back into eating normally. Are you supposed to eat this way forever?

Thankfully you aren’t and you now finally have a protocol that not only repairs and prevents regrowth, but also helps you transition smartly back into a normal diet.

The Most Thorough and Realistic SIBO Protocol Available

The Geyer Protocol was developed by Dr. MaryK Geyer. She is a top expert in SIBO, stays on top of the latest research for reversing SIBO with an integrative approach. With her research and clinical experience, she developed a 6-phase diet protocol that partners with medication and herbal supplements to not only prevent SIBO from returning but also how to start reintroducing foods so that you don’t experience GI distress. The entire program lasts anywhere from 6-9 months then you are able to eat without restriction. YAY!

How The Geyer Protocol Is Different From the Other Programs Out There:

Her protocol is a 6- phase program that is designed to

  • help heal the damage SIBO has caused to your intestinal lining
  • prevent the regrowth of the bacteria you just eliminated
  • guide on how to reintroduce foods that have been forbidden during the healing process

The whole goal is to get you back to the point where you can eat a normal, healthy diet again, and never experience SIBO again.

Phases 1-3 are the meat of the protocol.

In these phases, you’ll be eliminating the food source of the bacterial overgrowth so that it dies off in the small intestine where it doesn’t belong, and stay in the large intestine where it does. Along with this, we’ll also be focusing on healing the integrity of your intestinal lining that has been compromised due to this overgrowth. This is a fundamental part that is often overlooked in other SIBO programs.

Phases 4-6 are when reintroduction happens.

Phases 4-6 are when foods are strategically reintroduced into your diet to prevent GI distress and avoid reactivated overgrowth.  You don’t want to rush back into eating all the foods that have previously been avoided as they can cause severe bloating, gas, and pain. Nor do you want the SIBO to return! You’ve worked hard and don’t want to throw it down the drain. This phase is a critical part of your healing journey and should not be skipped. By the end of phase 6, you’ll be eating a regular, healthy diet again!
