SIBO Made Simple Phoebe Lapine

The podcast is back for a very special two-part bonus episode series dedicated to the subject of carbs and IBS. Which also just so happens to be the subject of my new cookbook!

On the last episode, I explained the role of carbohydrates in our digestive process and their impact on metabolic health. We also discussed how our blood sugar is very much dependent on the health of our gut.

In today's episode, I'm going to tell you how to put all this information into practice in your daily life. These are some of the best tips from my new book CARBIVORE about how to incorporate carbs into your diet without having them cause so much chaos in the body.

If you've been missing carbs and want to figure out how to bring them back to your table or have been dealing with blood sugar instability, this episode is for you.

Since the SIBO Made Simple book came out, one big set of questions I keep getting asked from SIBO Amigos and members of the Hashi Posse, along with other followers on Instagram, was about how carbs can be part of a balanced diet with gut issues.

Carbs are a huge source of stress and confusion. People get conflicting advice from doctors. Some say it’s dangerous for women to be super low carb, others say you can’t heal the gut without taking out all grains. And still others believe that removing all carbs and staying on the low FODMAP diet for too long is detrimental to the long-term health of your microbiome.

I’m here to breakdown the research and settle the debate once and for all. In this episode, I’ll be explaining the role of carbohydrates in our digestive process and their impact on metabolic health. Then we will talk about how our carb “tolerance” is very much dependent on the health of our gut.

Stay tuned for the next episode, which will include lots of practical advice on how to choose your own carb adventure with IBS.

Unless you’re new around here, you might have noticed it’s been a while since our last episode. In fact, you may have thought you’d never hear from me again. But NO! I’m popping back into your podcast feed with a very important year of SIBO in review: an update on all the things that have happened in the world of IBS research since we hung up our mics after the end of the 4th and final season of the podcast. I am so thrilled to have a return guest, the king of SIBO himself, Dr. Mark Pimentel. If you’re been down the SIBO rabbit hole for a while now, Dr. Pimentel likely needs no introduction. He’s the director of The Pimentel Lab at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, where he researches many pieces of the puzzle related to IBS, gastrointestinal motility and bacterial overgrowths. He’s published dozens of studies on these subjects, and it’s fair to say that much of the data-backed information we’ve covered throughout the 4 seasons of this podcast, has been discovered through Dr. Pimentel’s work.
He was last on the show almost 2 years ago in February 2020, and in that interview he promised that there would be many exciting developments for those with Post-Infectious IBS, Methane overgrowths, and Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO.
So today we’re going to hear a little status update.

It's the LAST episode of the podcast folks. I know, I know. I'm really bummed too. But I'm closing it out with the second installment of my ASK A SIBO AMIGO solo episode, and we are talking all about diet and putting your new food rules into action in the kitchen.
As the podcast comes to a close, I wanted to leave you SIBO Amigos with some of my hardest earned lessons from the trenches. The process of writing the SIBO Made Simple book, in many ways, was a process of distilling their wisdom into super practical takeaways and to-do's. So the entire manuscript is kind of one big extension of the SIBO Amigo Digest. But I still managed to simplify even further and come up with 10 rules of thumb for each step of the SIBO journey: investigation, treatment, diet and cooking.
In today's episode we will talk about my biggest pieces of advice for the food piece. It's a short and sweet one with yours truly that will help you step away from the minutiae and focus on the big picture goals of healing.

Lastly, I just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who's written me about how the podcast has been a game changer for them. It was only supposed to be 12 episodes, but once I started peeling back the layers of the onion, I just couldn't stop. It was such a JOY to produce and you guys make every bit of hard work worth it. It's not a goodbye - just a see you later! And who knows, as new research emerges, I might just be back for more.

As the podcast comes to close, I wanted to leave you SIBO Amigos with some of my hardest earned lessons from the trenches. It has been an utter pleasure producing this podcast and getting to interview some of the most prolific practitioners in the SIBO space. The process of writing the book, in many ways, was a process of distilling their wisdom into super practical takeaways and to-do's. So the entire manuscript is kind of one big extension of the SIBO Amigo Digest. But I still managed to simplify even further and come up with 10 rules of thumb for each step of the SIBO journey: investigation, treatment, diet and cooking.
In today's episode we will talk about my biggest pieces of advice for the first two legs, including how to tackle root causes, interpret SIBO tests, and how to deal with your mindset throughout treatment. It's a short and sweet one with yours truly that will help you step away from the minutiae and focus on the big picture goals of healing.

This episode is also brought to you by my friends at Gourmend Foods. Their low FODMAP broths are gentle on your stomach but packed with flavor. It’s made by simmering organic ingredients for 16 hours with humanely raised poultry and hand-trimmed tops of leeks and scallions. You won't find any flavoring agents that may add taste without FODMAPs, but can exacerbate other health issues. Even more exciting, Gourmend Foods is constantly working on new products to solve for some of the biggest IBS pantry cooking issues. They recently introduced a garlic scape and garlic chive powder that can help you keep those incredible aromatics in your cooking without the FODMAP content.

We are ending the podcast where we began: with the incredible Dr. Allison Siebecker. In this wind-down episode, I wanted to cover some frequently asked questions around relapse, retreatment and prevention. So many people end up in cycles of SIBO that they feel they will never exit from. But there is so much to be hopefully about, even for chronic SIBO cases, and this conversation really shows why.
Not only does Dr. Siebecker help troubleshoot some scenarios of stubborn SIBO, she gives an overview of an entire new toolkit of therapies that have shown incredible clinical results. None of these ideas involve aggressive herbals or antibiotics—in fact, very few require any pills at all.
Even if you feel you know everything there is to know about SIBO, I assure you this episode will open your mind to a whole new world of healing.
A quick taste of what we’ll cover: How many courses of herbs and antibiotics are too many What are the signs that someone is reacting to a treatment itself or die-off How long do you wait to retest after treatment? And when is retesting not worth it When to start prokinetics and how long to take them for A whole arsenal of new therapies: Frequency Specific Microcurrent, Neural retraining systems, Neural therapy, Electrical stimulation, Myofascial release, Craniosacral therapy, Hypnotherapy, Immunoglobulins, Low Dose Immunotherapy, Peptides, Tapping and more!
