Is Your SIBO Diet Helping or Keeping You Stuck?

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alyssa explains one of the biggest misconceptions in SIBO recovery: the belief that a therapeutic diet is the treatment. While Low FODMAP and SIBO diets can be incredibly effective for reducing symptoms, they were never designed to be the finish line. They're a tool to create stability, not a permanent way of eating.
