A lot of people are told one round of antibiotics should solve SIBO. But methane doesn’t usually work that way.

When symptoms linger or return, it doesn’t mean treatment “failed” — it often means the approach didn’t match the physiology.

In Episode 89, I explain why methane SIBO requires a more specific, sequenced strategy, and why relying on a single tool rarely creates lasting change. Click the link to watch E89 to understand what actually works: https://youtu.be/x1FD4uj-u1E?si=FkxhEHJp0HbmF5ix

Most low FODMAP meals fail before you even take the first bite.

Not because of the ingredients, but because of how they’re put together.

When meals aren’t structured properly, you end up stuck in this cycle: hungry → bloated → unsatisfied → snacking → more symptoms

That’s why episode #101 of the Gut Health Dialogues Podcast walks through a simple framework for building meals that actually work with your gut, not against it. Click the link to tune in: https://youtu.be/dg37Gu1UHms?si=ZY1ODnCt-U-D5TeK

And if you don’t want to piece this together yourself, I created a Low FODMAP Vegetarian Meal Plan + Food Guide with full meals, recipes, and a grocery list so you can just follow the structure: https://alyssa-simpson.mykajabi.com/freebie-low-fodmap-vegetarian-food-guide-pdf

When digestion is slow and inflamed, eating less doesn’t create healing, it often reinforces the problem. Methane SIBO requires a very different strategy than generic gut or weight-loss advice. Diet plays a role, but only when it’s used intentionally.

In this episode, I explain why diet alone can’t change the underlying physiology and how a methane-specific approach fits into real recovery in Episode 89. Click the link to watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/x1FD4uj-u1E?si=FkxhEHJp0HbmF5ix

This is the part no one tells you…

You can build an entire day of “low FODMAP” meals, and still end up bloated by the afternoon.
Not because anything was wrong individually, but because your gut experiences the total load, not isolated foods.

That’s why it can feel inconsistent and unpredictable, like you’re doing the same thing, but getting different results.

And if you want a done-for-you version of that (so you don’t have to mentally calculate every meal), I put together a Low FODMAP Vegetarian Meal Plan + Food Guide to take that guesswork off your plate: https://alyssa-simpson.mykajabi.com/freebie-low-fodmap-vegetarian-food-guide-pdf

In episode #101 of the Gut Health Dialogues Podcast, I break down how to spot these patterns and structure your meals so your gut actually gets a break. Click the link to tune in: https://youtu.be/dg37Gu1UHms?si=ZY1ODnCt-U-D5TeK

Most people are told SIBO equals weight loss. So when weight gain shows up instead, it feels confusing, even discouraging.

Methane SIBO changes how the body handles energy, inflammation, and storage. That’s why eating less, exercising more, or tightening food rules doesn’t always lead to results.

In Episode 89, Alyssa explains the metabolic side of methane SIBO and why standard advice often misses the mark for this group. Click the link to watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/x1FD4uj-u1E?si=FkxhEHJp0HbmF5ix

Eating “low FODMAP” foods but still dealing with bloating?

In this episode #101 of The Gut Health Dialogues podcast, I break down one of the biggest misconceptions about low FODMAP: it’s not just WHAT you eat, it’s how much and how it’s structured.

Most people treat FODMAP like a blacklist, when in reality, your tolerance is dose-dependent.

Once you understand this, the diet stops feeling restrictive, and starts working the way it’s supposed to.

This episode will completely change how you approach low FODMAP, and help you finally start expanding your diet again.

If every new diet seems to make your digestion more reactive, not less — that’s not a lack of willpower. It’s often a sign your gut is already slowed, inflamed, and stressed.

In methane SIBO, restriction can quietly backfire by further slowing motility and increasing inflammation, even when you’re “doing everything right.”

I explain why this pattern is so common, why it’s not your fault, and what actually needs to change for digestion to feel more predictable again in episode 89. Click the link to tune into the full episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2292326/episodes/18623282

If you’ve cut out half your diet and still feel bloated, this is your wake-up call. 🚨

In this episode of The Gut Health Dialogues, I break down one of the biggest misconceptions about the low FODMAP diet: it’s not just about what foods you eat, it’s how you structure them.

Because most people trying to do low FODMAP as a vegetarian aren’t doing it wrong, they’re just missing the nuance.

We talk about why “safe foods” can still cause symptoms, how portion sizes and food stacking quietly trigger bloating, and how to structure your meals so you’re not stuck in restriction forever.
This episode will completely change how you approach low FODMAP, and help you finally start expanding your diet again.

When digestion feels unpredictable, food stops feeling neutral, it starts feeling risky. And that’s where most people get stuck.

In methane SIBO, the goal isn’t forcing weight loss or “fixing” your body with restriction. It’s creating stability so your gut can calm down and stop overreacting.

In Episode 89, I break down how a methane-specific diet is meant to support motility, reduce fermentation, and make food feel safer again, without pushing you deeper into restriction. Click the link to TUNE into the full episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2292326/episodes/18623282

If you’re managing symptoms by shrinking your food list, pushing through exhaustion, or relying on “safe foods” that don’t actually make you feel well, it’s because restriction is a coping strategy, not a solution.

What actually helps is doing the opposite of what most people are told:

• Stop chasing symptoms and start looking for patterns
• Use food temporarily as information, not punishment
• Calm the gut first, then rebuild tolerance
• Support digestion and motility instead of forcing willpower
• Address what’s driving reactivity underneath (not just what triggers it)

That’s what changed everything for Doug.

He went from living on chicken and rice, planning his day around bathrooms, and feeling exhausted no matter what he ate… to having energy again, expanding his diet, and trusting his body.

Not because he found the “perfect diet.” But because he finally understood why his gut was reacting.

In Episode 88, Doug shares what actually worked for him, why short-term fixes kept failing, and how addressing hydrogen sulfide SIBO changed the trajectory of his health.
