| I never thought my gut issues could lead to weight gain. |
| When I first got SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), I started carrying this permanent bloat and “pudge” in my lower belly. I gradually put on weight — 13 pounds at one point! — and had grown extremely frustrated that eating healthier, and working out harder and more frequently was not making a difference at all. |
| Turns out, I was eating all the wrong kinds of “healthy.” And what’s worse: After 10 minutes of eating, I would feel stomach pain FOR HOURS. It was such a challenging time constantly worrying about what I can eat that I couldn’t enjoy going out to dinner with friends. |
| I knew I had to seek professional help, which was how I found Sarah Mirkin, RDN, who taught me all about the low-FODMAP lifestyle, and it has completely changed my life! |

|
| FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) are a group of carbohydrates that gets its name from the process that occurs when they enter your gut: fermentation. If you’re sensitive to FODMAPs, your body may not be capable of breaking them down in time for when food hits the large intestine where most of your gut bacteria resides. By then, gut bacteria begins the fermentation process that can wreak havoc on your digestion and cause unpleasant symptoms. |
| After trying a low-FODMAP diet, I started to feel like myself again almost instantly! |
| My mood is so much happier and healthier. I have more power, focus, and energy while working out, and now feel much stronger mentally too. The bloat and “pudge” in my lower belly disappeared, and I dropped even more weight than I put on — 18 pounds to be exact! |
|
| What’s even better — I got all that while eating delicious meals without the worry of stomach pain after! |
| I can now enjoy foods I never thought I could, like dairy products (feta and Swiss Gruyère in my salad is pure heaven!), larger servings of fruits and vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, blueberries, and cantaloupe, and even garlic and onions — two high-FODMAP foods I could never tolerate before! |
