Dried Plums: A SIBO-Friendly Aid for Digestion Beyond Fiber

If you have SIBO, dried plums (or prunes) can be a gentle, effective help. They don’t just work because of their fiber; they contain sorbitol, which draws water into the intestines, and phenolic compounds that stimulate gut transit. This means that even small amounts—like the water from a compote or a few plums—can kickstart digestion. Just be mindful and adjust the amounts to your personal tolerance, so you can enjoy the benefits without upsetting your gut.
