Ep. 76: How to make your gut not ”SIBO friendly” & add foods back in without symptoms [SIBO mini series part 3]

You finished your SIBO treatment, so why are you still bloated, reactive, and stuck eating five foods?

In this episode of Love Your Gut, Dr. Heather shares what no one talks about after the “kill phase” of SIBO recovery ends. If you’ve tried antibiotics or antimicrobials, followed a low-FODMAP diet, and still don’t feel like yourself, it’s not because you failed. It’s because true healing happens in Phase 2: the rebuilding phase.

You’ll learn how to make your gut resilient again through food, lifestyle, digestion support, and terrain repair.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why symptoms often return post-SIBO treatment (and why that’s not a failure)
• How to repair your gut lining to reduce food reactivity
• Step-by-step guidance for reintroducing foods safely and strategically
• The truth about North-to-South digestion and what it means for motility
• How simple lifestyle shifts like sunlight, walking, and breathwork change the gut terrain
• The difference between healing and just treating
