Fiber and SIBO: What Types of Fiber Can You Eat?

For people with SIBO, fiber is a delicate topic. While fiber is essential for gut health, not all fibers are the same when it comes to SIBO

Some fibers, especially fermentable ones, can feed bacteria and worsen symptoms.

The best approach is to choose soluble, low-FODMAP fibers. For example, oats are a great option, as they are gentle and easy to digest. Cooked carrots, zucchini, and spinach also provide fiber without causing too much fermentation. Avoid fruits high in fructose, like apples or pears, and also raw legumes.

It’s important to go slow: introduce fiber gradually, pay attention to how your body reacts, and adjust as needed. For more guidance on which fibers to include in your diet, visit recetassibo.com.
