The choice is yours – two versions available
As many people with SIBO also react to foods high in histamine,
the Food Guide is available in two versions:
The Classic
SIBO Food Guide
19,90€
To provide general guidance on
choosing food during the three phases.
The Low-Histamine SIBO Food Guide
19,90€
For people who, as well as SIBO, wish to take their individual histamine tolerance into account.
The three phases
Phase 1: Reduction
Duration: approximately 4 weeks
In the first phase, foods that are potentially hard to digest, highly fermentable or often difficult to tolerate are temporarily reduced.
The aim is to relieve the digestive tract, soothe symptoms and establish a clearer starting point. By adopting a simpler diet initially, it may become easier to identify links between certain foods and your symptoms.
This phase is not intended as a permanent way of eating. The reduction is a temporary measure designed to provide greater clarity.
Phase 2: Reintegration
Duration: approximately 6 to 8 weeks
Once a more stable baseline has been established, foods are gradually reintroduced.
This involves, amongst other things, specifically testing different FODMAP groups and sources of starch. This allows you to monitor your reactions, document your personal tolerance levels and find out which foods and quantities might work for you.
The focus is not on general lists of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ foods. It’s about getting to know your own body and your individual tolerance levels better.
Phase 3: Stabilisation
Duration: approximately 4 to 6 weeks
In the final phase, the foods that you tolerate well are combined to create a more varied diet that is suitable for everyday life in the long term.
You can test foods again, try out different combinations and observe how your body reacts to so-called mixed food challenges.
The aim is to establish a stable and nutrient-rich foundation that allows you to enjoy greater variety, flexibility and confidence in your eating habits once more.

From restriction to greater individual freedom
The three phases are not separate diets. They form a shared learning process:
First, calm down; then carry out targeted testing; and finally, build up a varied diet for everyday life.
In the long term, it’s not about eating as strictly as possible. It’s about understanding your body better, regaining confidence in your food choices and bringing as much variety as possible back into your diet.
A severely restricted diet should only be followed for a limited period. Long-term restriction can impair dietary diversity and possibly also the diversity of the gut microbiome.

Dr. Thomas Bacharach
Specialist in General Practice
(specialising in the gut/microbiome and irritable bowel syndrome)
Founder of the SIBO Academy
Over 300 qualified therapists
My entire childhood, adolescence and early adulthood were marked by stomach ache and changes in bowel habits. All the tests came back normal – classic irritable bowel syndrome or, as I later discovered, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
I was intolerant to various foods and had to avoid certain foods for a whole year whilst still at primary school. As a result of this intense experience, I have been furthering my education in the field of gut health for over 10 years. A key factor in being able to help many people was my understanding of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
It is therefore my wish to pass on my knowledge to other therapists, in order to help as many people as possible who suffer from gastrointestinal problems.
