a diary that gives back
Write one line about how your body feels today, and receive insights and realistic next steps shaped to you. Free, always.
How we understand SIBO today
Bacteria overgrow in the small intestine, where few belong, causing post-meal bloating, gas, bowel changes, and nutrient issues. Slowed gut movement often underlies it.
Ways people approach it
- Recording meals against the timing of bloating and gas pinpoints culprit foods and patterns
- Diets low in fermentable sugars are best tried short-term, guided by records
- Spacing meals 4–5 hours apart (no grazing) supports the gut's cleaning waves
- Avoid prolonged self-imposed restriction — discuss testing and treatment with a specialist
Rapid weight loss, bloody stool, or fever should prompt checks for other diseases first.
