When you have SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), simple dishes often work best. This zucchini and egg omelette is basic, easy to digest, economical, and ideal for light lunches or dinners. With just a handful of ingredients and gentle cooking, it’s a satisfying option that keeps digestion calm.
Why This Omelette Is Good for SIBO
Eggs are a well-tolerated source of protein.
Zucchini is low in FODMAPs and gentle on digestion.
No onion or garlic, which can trigger symptoms.
Lighter and easier to digest than fried or heavily seasoned versions.
Ingredients (Serves ~2)
2 medium zucchinis (zucchini/summer squash)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt to taste
Optional: mild pepper only if you tolerate it
Instructions
Wash and grate the zucchinis.
Cook the grated zucchini over medium heat in a skillet with a bit of olive oil until they release and evaporate excess water.
Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
Mix the cooked zucchini with the beaten eggs.
Pour the mixture back into the skillet with olive oil and cook on low heat until it’s firm.
Carefully flip the omelette to cook the other side.
SIBO Tips
Cooking slowly and evenly improves digestibility.
Serve warm with plain sides like white rice or a simple salad.
Avoid heavy additives; keeping it simple helps minimize digestive discomfort.
