Episode 169: SIBO 101 (Symptoms, Testing, and Treatment) + Overcoming Food Fear With Phoebe Lapine of SIBO Made Simple

This week I’m talking to Phoebe Lapine. Phoebe is a food and health writer, gluten-free chef, speaker, and the voice behind the award-winning blog Feed Me Phoebe. Phoebe’s debut memoir, The Wellness Project, chronicles her journey with the autoimmune disease Hashimotos Thyroiditis. Her latest book, SIBO Made Simple, helps those newly diagnosed or chronically fighting small intestine bacterial overgrowth. Phoebe’s work has appeared in Food & Wine, Marie Claire, SELF, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and Mind Body Green.

In this episode, Phoebe and I discuss SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) and the symptoms, testing, types, and treatment – as well as how depression and anxiety play a role in gut-health issues, the low-FODMAP diet, and overcoming food fear after elimination diets.
