@Vision It could cure it. It depends on so many factors. You have to experiment to see what will work for you.

@Leo Gura How do you stick to your low-carb diet? I'll stay with it for weeks at a time and then slip back to eating bananas, dates, and brown rice, it's always those three foods that I end up coming back to.

They're probably ego backlashes. After a few weeks of eating those foods I go back to a keto diet and I feel better, until I give into strong cravings for them again. They're not necessarily unhealthy foods either, it's just that I feel worse after eating them and SIBO feeds on those foods. 

I've been in this cycle for 6 months. Even with strategies I've learned to counteract cravings such as consequential thinking and imagining that someone pissed and shat over the food I'm craving, it's as if all of that flies out the window when my reptilian brain - or the overgrown bacteria - takes over.

Nearly 2 years of massive suffering has made it pretty easy to stick rigorously to only the foods I can digest.

I have recently reintroduced plain white rice and it's working well for me.

Bananas and dates are a big no-no.

If you don't stick to your diet rigorously you may never cure your SIBO. That should be motivation enough.

I recommend getting this multivitamin so you don’t fall short of your essential micronutrients:

Do you experience cravings for food that SIBO feeds on?

Why specifically plain white rice? Why not brown rice or quinoa? Is it because simple carbs are easier to digest than complex carbs?

It's just so hard for me to stick to only eating from a selection from (literally) 4 bland foods consistently. I can do it for 3-6 weeks until my reptilian brain just says "F*** it" and eats a banana from the stack of bananas on the kitchen table that I see every day.

I think it's better off if I do another fast. Counterintuitively, water fasting makes it so much easier for me to avoid food. I think the act of chewing itself, regardless of what I'm eating, makes me want to eat more.

@How to be wise It costs $41 to ship to my country, but thank you for sharing. Any other resources?

@Michael569 Is there anything they said that’s wrong? I’d love to know.

Besides, I'm only really wanting to spend money on things that will help heal SIBO until I defeat this thing.

dude you're better of investing that money into fixing your digestion so that you can eat everything again. Leave this sort of rubbish out of the therapeutic process. 

Yeah, agreed.

Are Konjac noodles safe for SIBO?
