How to Reset Your Gut with Time-Restricted Eating for SIBO

Understanding SIBO
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) can lead to uncomfortable digestive issues like bloating and gas. While lab tests exist, a simple approach like time-restricted eating (TRE) combined with a focused diet can be a great starting point.

What is Time-Restricted Eating?
Time-restricted eating involves limiting your eating to a specific window of time during the day. This allows your gut to rest and can support digestive health. Many people start with a 12-hour fasting window (e.g., 8 PM to 8 AM) and then adjust it to find what works best for them.

Enhancing Your Diet
While adopting TRE, consider adding supplements like probiotics and digestive enzymes to support your gut. Additionally, a low-FODMAP diet can be beneficial, focusing on easily digestible foods and avoiding common triggers like garlic and wheat.

Practical Tips:

  • Stay hydrated during fasting hours.
  • Practice mindful eating to aid digestion.
  • Engage in gentle exercises like walking or yoga.

Benefits of Time-Restricted Eating: TRE may help balance gut bacteria and improve overall energy levels.
