Hydrogen SIBO and Methane SIBO: What are the Foods to Avoid and the Best Foods to Eat?

Post Author: Victoria Tyler

What is the Best Diet for Methane and Hydrogen SIBO? The insiders guide to the best diet for SIBO.

Think you have SIBO? Or maybe you’ve just been diagnosed?

Diet plays a crucial role in managing both types of SIBO. By choosing the right foods, you can help calm symptoms, promote a healthier gut environment, and reduce the fermentation process that causes uncomfortable gas production.

This guide walks you through the best foods to eat and what to avoid for both hydrogen and methane SIBO. With the right dietary adjustments, you can better tailor your meals to relieve symptoms, regain balance, and feel more in control of your gut health.

There are actually two main types of SIBO that can affect your gut differently: Methane-dominant SIBO (also called Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth, or IMO) and Hydrogen-dominant SIBO.

Each type involves an overgrowth of bacteria (and in the case of methane SIBO, archaea) in the small intestine, but they lead to distinct symptoms and require unique dietary approaches.

Methane SIBO: Usually linked to slower digestion and constipation, this type can leave you feeling bloated and sluggish.
Hydrogen SIBO: Known for causing diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal discomfort, this form tends to have a faster digestive transit.

Hydrogen SIBO – Symptoms

Hydrogen-dominant SIBO occurs when there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine that ferment carbohydrates, producing hydrogen gas as a byproduct.

Symptoms: This type of SIBO is typically associated with diarrhea, bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort. The excess hydrogen produced by the bacteria speeds up gut motility, which often leads to diarrhea-predominant IBS.

Methane SIBO (IMO – Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth)

Rather than bacteria, an overgrowth of methanogenic archaea in the small intestine produces methane gas. These archaea feed on hydrogen produced by other bacteria, converting it into methane.

Symptoms: Methane SIBO is often linked with constipation, bloating, and slowed gut motility. Methane gas is known to slow down intestinal transit time, leading to constipation-predominant IBS.

What Foods Should Be Avoided With Hydrogen and Methane SIBO?

The Low-FODMAP diet was originally developed for managing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), but it has also proven to be beneficial for those with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), whether methane-dominant or hydrogen-dominant.

By reducing the intake of highly fermentable carbohydrates, the Low-FODMAP diet limits the fuel source for bacteria and archaea in the small intestine, helping to ease symptoms like bloating, gas, and discomfort.

However, it’s essential to approach this diet carefully, as there are certain pitfalls. Not all FODMAP foods need to be restricted permanently, and long-term adherence without guidance may impact gut microbiome diversity.

Rule 1: Avoid Excess Consumption of Sugars
While the Low-FODMAP diet can be highly effective, there are some important things to watch out for—especially sugar consumption.
Many people mistakenly believe that all Low-FODMAP foods are safe to eat in large quantities, but some sugar-containing foods can still fuel bacterial overgrowth, even though they are technically Low-FODMAP.

For example, maple syrup, lactose-free ice cream, gluten-free biscuits, and fruit juices may be Low-FODMAP, but they often contain added sugars like sucrose or fructose. When consumed in excess, these sugars can feed the bacteria responsible for hydrogen and methane production, undermining the benefits of the Low-FODMAP diet.

It is advisable to avoid these foods for Hydrogen and Methane SIBO:
Lactose-free ice cream: Low-FODMAP but high in sucrose, which can feed bacteria if eaten in excess.
Gluten-free cookies and cakes: FODMAP-friendly, but overeating leads to excessive sugar intake that can feed bacteria.
Lactose-free chocolate milk: Often consumed in large portions, adding more sugar than the gut can handle.
Flavored lactose-free cream cheese: Added sugars fuel bacterial overgrowth when overconsumed.
Low-FODMAP granola bars: Easy to snack on but often contain more sugar than necessary.
Fruit juices (orange, cranberry): Allowed in small amounts, but excess fructose and sucrose lead to fermentation.
Lactose-free whipped cream: Generously used but adds unnecessary sugar to the diet.
Low-FODMAP ketchup and barbecue sauce: Overuse can contribute to excess sugar consumption and overgrowth of bacteria.
Low-FODMAP gluten-free cereal: Large portions can introduce too much sugar and overgrowth of bacteria.
Large quantities of maple syrup

Rule 2: Avoid Brassicas and High-FODMAP Vegetables

Brassicas, also known as cruciferous vegetables, are particularly problematic because they contain raffinose, a complex sugar that is difficult to digest. When this sugar reaches the bacteria in the small intestine, it ferments, causing gas production and discomfort.

Vegetables to Avoid if You Have Hydrogen and Methane SIBO:
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Brussels sprouts
Cabbage
Kale (in large quantities)
Asparagus
Garlic and onions (high in fructans)

Rule 3: Limit Bread, Pasta and wholemeal carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the main sources of fuel for the bacteria and archaea responsible for methane and hydrogen production in SIBO. When consumed in large quantities, they can cause gas buildup, bloating, and digestive discomfort. Therefore, it’s essential to limit both the quantity and the type of carbohydrates you consume.

Carbohydrates to Limit:
Wheat, Rye, and Barley: High in fructans, these grains ferment quickly in the gut, leading to bloating and gas.
Bread, Pasta, and Pastries: Made from gluten-containing grains, these products should be avoided or significantly reduced.
Wholemeal dark breads: High in fibre, they are very difficult to digest and can ferment.

Rule 4: Avoid Apples, Pears, and High-FODMAP Fruits
High-FODMAP fruits, such as apples, pears, and stone fruits, contain high amounts of fructose and sorbitol, both of which are fermentable sugars that can cause bloating, gas, and discomfort in patients with methane and hydrogen SIBO. These sugars are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and can ferment, feeding bacteria and archaea, leading to increased gas production. For those with methane-dominant SIBO, this can worsen constipation, while in hydrogen-dominant SIBO, it may lead to diarrhea and bloating.

High-FODMAP Fruits to Avoid:

Apples

Pears

Watermelon

Mango

Cherries

Stone fruits like peaches, plums, and nectarines

Dried fruits such as apricots, figs, and raisins

Rule 5: Avoid Legumes

Legumes, such as beans, lentils, and chickpeas, are high in oligosaccharides, a type of fermentable carbohydrate. These carbohydrates are not easily digested in the small intestine, making them highly fermentable once they reach the gut. For individuals with methane or hydrogen SIBO, consuming legumes can lead to excessive gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort, as they provide fuel for the overgrown bacteria or archaea responsible for SIBO symptoms.
Legumes can also worsen constipation in methane-dominant SIBO and contribute to diarrhea and bloating in hydrogen-dominant SIBO. Therefore, it’s essential to avoid or significantly limit legumes in your diet.

Legumes to Avoid:

Lentils

Chickpeas

Kidney beans

Black beans

Soybeans

Pinto beans

Peas (split peas, green peas)

Rule 6: Avoid Milk and Lactose
Milk and dairy products containing lactose can be problematic for individuals with methane or hydrogen SIBO.
Lactose, the sugar found in milk, is poorly absorbed in the small intestine.
When undigested lactose reaches the gut, it ferments, leading to gas, bloating, and discomfort. This fermentation process can fuel bacteria and archaea responsible for SIBO, worsening symptoms like constipation in methane-dominant SIBO or diarrhea and bloating in hydrogen-dominant SIBO.

Milk and Dairy Products to Avoid:

Cow’s milk

Goat’s milk

Sheep’s milk

Yogurt (unless it’s lactose-free)

Ice cream

Rule 7: Avoid Alcohol, Especially Beer

Alcohol, particularly beer, can significantly worsen symptoms of methane and hydrogen SIBO. Beer contains fermentable carbohydrates and gluten and yeast, both of which can fuel bacteria and archaea in the small intestine, leading to increased gas production, bloating, and digestive discomfort.
Additionally, alcohol itself can irritate the gut lining, impair digestion, and disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, exacerbating SIBO symptoms.
For individuals with methane-dominant SIBO, alcohol can slow intestinal motility, worsening constipation, while in hydrogen-dominant SIBO, it may aggravate diarrhea and bloating.

Alcoholic Beverages to Avoid:

Beer: High in fermentable carbohydrates and gluten, which can feed bacteria and archaea.

Cider: Contains sugars that can ferment and worsen SIBO symptoms.

Sweet Wines: High in sugar, which can ferment and increase gas production.

Flavored Spirits: Flavored alcohols often contain added sugars or artificial sweeteners that contribute to fermentation.

Rule 8: Limit caffeine for Hydrogen SIBO

Effect on Gut Motility: Caffeine is a stimulant that can increase gut motility, which may benefit those with constipation-predominant SIBO (methane SIBO). However, for people with diarrhea-predominant SIBO (hydrogen SIBO), caffeine might exacerbate symptoms by speeding up digestion, leading to more frequent bowel movements
Stick to low-acid options like cold-brew coffee or green tea.
Limit intake to 1-2 cups per day and monitor your body’s response.
Decaffeinated versions of coffee or tea can be better tolerated by some individuals.

What are the best foods to eat if you have Methane or Hydrogen SIBO?

So now that you know about the main foods to avoid for methane and Hydrogen SIBO, let’s look at the best foods to eat for SIBO.

Rule 1. Eat protein at every meal

Protein is safe for SIBO because it undergoes minimal fermentation in the gut, unlike carbohydrates and certain fibers. This means it will not feed bacteria and archea leading to gas and bloating.

Carbohydrates on the other hand can feed bacteria in the small intestine, leading to the production of gases like methane and hydrogen, which cause bloating, discomfort, and other SIBO symptoms.

Lean meats, fish, eggs, and firm tofu are excellent low-FODMAP protein options that don’t fuel bacterial or archaea overgrowth.

Protein is digested slowly, providing a steady source of energy and helping to stabilize blood sugar levels. This is important because unstable blood sugar can contribute to cravings for high-carbohydrate foods, which can feed bacterial overgrowth. By focusing on protein-rich foods, you’re less likely to consume excessive carbohydrates that worsen SIBO symptoms.

Animal proteins and plant proteins to include and avoid on a Low-FODMAP diet for individuals with SIBO:

Protein Source	Include	Avoid	Reason
Animal Proteins	– Chicken – Turkey – Beef – Pork – Fish (e.g., salmon, tuna) – Eggs	– Processed meats (e.g., sausages, deli meats)	Fresh meats are naturally low in FODMAPs, while processed meats often contain additives and preservatives that may trigger symptoms.
Plant Proteins	– Firm tofu – Tempeh – Edamame	– Lentils (in large amounts) – Chickpeas	Firm tofu and tempeh are low FODMAP; however, legumes like lentils and chickpeas can be high in FODMAPs and may exacerbate symptoms.

Rule 2. Add Low-FODMAP vegetables with your protein

Allowed Vegetables for SIBO Diet

Choose from any of these vegetables in the table below and add them to your protein.

While these are general guidelines it’s important to remember that individual responses to foods can vary. For instance, some people may still react to vegetables like kale or aubergine (eggplant), even though they are considered low-FODMAP.

Always listen to your body and work with a healthcare professional to tailor your diet to your specific needs. Clinically I find that courgettes and green beans are very well tolerated.

Rule 3. Add small handful of carbohydrate with your protein

Carbohydrates are allowed but ony in small quantities as they can cause fermentation, gas, wind and bloating.

Limit to palm /handsize alongside your protein and vegetables.

Here’s a table of allowed carbohydrates on a Low-FODMAP diet, particularly useful for managing SIBO: Remember only have a handful with your protein.

Carbohydrate Type	Specific Foods	Reason Allowed
Rice	White rice, brown rice	Low-FODMAP and easily digestible; does not ferment in the gut.
Quinoa	Plain quinoa	Gluten-free, low-FODMAP grain alternative, high in protein and fiber.
Oats	gluten-free oats	Low-FODMAP in small portions; good for breakfast and snacks.
Potatoes	White potatoes (boiled, baked)	Naturally low in FODMAPs, avoid sweet potatoes in large amounts due to mannitol.

Gluten-free pasta	Pasta made from rice or corn	Safe alternative to wheat-based pasta; low in FODMAPs.
Buckwheat	Buckwheat groats or flour	Naturally gluten-free and low-FODMAP; rich in nutrients and fiber.
Tapioca	Tapioca pearls, tapioca flour	Low-FODMAP and easily digestible; often used in gluten-free baking.

Rule 4. It is best not to snack if you have SIBO but if you do you may have these foods.

Ideally you should have a 4 hour gap in between meals to stimulate the Migrating Motor Complex

The Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) is a crucial mechanism in the digestive system that helps to keep the small intestine clean and free from bacterial overgrowth.

ating too frequently can disrupt the MMC, preventing it from performing its cleansing function. By allowing a 4-hour gap between meals, you give the MMC time to activate and clear out excess bacteria and food remnants, which is particularly important in managing SIBO. This helps reduce symptoms like bloating, gas, and discomfort associated with bacterial overgrowth.

Snack	Why It’s Good for SIBO
Lactose-Free Yogurt with Strawberries	Lactose-free yogurt is easy to digest and low in FODMAPs, while strawberries are low-fructose and safe for SIBO.
Carrot Sticks with 1 tablespoon Hummus (Low-FODMAP)	Carrot sticks are non-fermentable and easy on digestion, and low-FODMAP hummus made from canned chickpeas is safe.
Rice Cakes with Peanut Butter	Rice cakes are low-FODMAP and gluten-free, and peanut butter (in moderation) is also low in fermentable fibers.
Boiled Eggs	Eggs are a high-protein, non-fermentable snack that doesn’t fuel bacterial overgrowth, making them ideal for SIBO.
Blueberries with Coconut Yogurt	Blueberries are low in fructose, and coconut yogurt (unsweetened) is a lactose-free and gut-friendly option.
Cucumber Slices with Tuna	Cucumbers are hydrating and low in FODMAPs, and tuna provides protein without contributing to gas or bloating.
Hard Cheese (Cheddar, Parmesan)	Hard cheeses are low in lactose and provide protein and calcium without fermenting in the gut.
Pumpkin Seeds (Unsalted)	Pumpkin seeds are low in fermentable fibers and provide healthy fats and protein, perfect for a SIBO-friendly snack.
Oatmeal with Almond Butter	Gluten-free oats (in moderation) are low-FODMAP, and almond butter adds healthy fat and protein for sustained energy.
Lactose-Free Cottage Cheese	Lactose-free cottage cheese is low in FODMAPs and high in protein, making it a filling and safe option.
Bell Pepper Slices with Guacamole	Bell peppers are low-FODMAP, and guacamole (made from avocado in moderation) is packed with healthy fats and flavor.
Kiwis with Coconut Shavings	Kiwis are low in FODMAPs and a great source of vitamin C, while unsweetened coconut adds flavor without fermentable sugars.
Turkey Roll-Ups	Slices of turkey breast wrapped in lettuce or cucumbers are low in FODMAPs and offer a high-protein, gut-friendly snack.
Chia Pudding (made with Almond Milk)	Chia seeds are low in FODMAPs and full of fiber, and when made with almond milk, this snack is lactose-free and safe.
Rice Crackers with Hard-Boiled Eggs	Rice crackers are gluten-free and low-FODMAP, paired with eggs for protein, this snack helps you feel full without causing fermentation.

Rule 5: Eat all food groups

When it comes to lunch and dinner, the key is to create balanced meals that focus on protein, vegetables, and a small amount of low-fermentable carbohydrates.

Meal Plan Table

Meal Plan	Protein	Vegetables	Carbs (Small Portion)
Meal Plan 1	Baked salmon	Roasted green beans, steamed spinach	Quinoa
Meal Plan 2	Grilled turkey breast	Sautéed bell peppers, zucchini	Mashed potatoes (no skin)

Meal Plan 6	Grilled chicken thighs	Steamed broccoli (small portion), green beans	Buckwheat
Meal Plan 7	Scrambled eggs (2 eggs)	Wilted spinach, sautéed mushrooms (small amt.)	Gluten-free toast (low-FODMAP grains)

Rule 6. Have healthy fats

When managing SIBO, it’s important to include healthy fats in your diet to ensure proper nutrition without exacerbating symptoms. Here are some fats that are generally well-tolerated and beneficial for SIBO:

Healthy Fats for SIBO:

Olive Oil: A great source of monounsaturated fats that is easy to digest and anti-inflammatory.
Coconut Oil (in moderation): Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily absorbed and can have antimicrobial properties.
Avocado Oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats and suitable for cooking at higher temperatures.
Ghee (Clarified Butter): Lactose-free and well-tolerated by many people with SIBO. It also contains beneficial fatty acids.
Butter (in small amounts): If tolerated, grass-fed butter in small quantities can be included, but make sure it’s lactose-free.
Flaxseed Oil: Provides omega-3 fatty acids and is usually gentle on the digestive system. Use cold in salads or smoothies.
Fish Oil (from supplements): A source of omega-3 fatty acids, it supports gut health and reduces inflammation.
Chia Seeds (in moderation): Provides omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, but should be consumed in small amounts as they may cause bloating for some people.
Nut and Seed Oils (e.g., Almond Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil): These can be included in moderation, but avoid nut butters with added sugars or oils that can ferment.

Rule 7. Small amounts of Alcohol

If you must drink, we recommend gin and vodka with soda water and lime or very dry wine.

FAQ: How long should I follow the SIBO diet for?

The length of time you should follow a SIBO-friendly diet, such as the Low-FODMAP diet, varies depending on individual progress and the severity of your symptoms. Typically, the diet is followed in three phases:

Elimination Phase (4-8 weeks):
In this phase, you strictly avoid high-FODMAP foods and other triggers to reduce bacterial overgrowth and symptoms like bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort. This phase can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks, but it may vary based on how quickly your symptoms improve.
Reintroduction Phase (6-8 weeks):
After your symptoms have stabilized, you begin to reintroduce high-FODMAP foods one at a time to identify your individual triggers. This phase usually lasts 6 to 8 weeks and helps tailor the diet to your specific needs.
Maintenance Phase (Ongoing):
Once you’ve identified your triggers, you can continue to follow a personalized, balanced diet that avoids the foods that cause your symptoms while allowing you to eat a wider variety of foods. The maintenance phase is long-term and is about managing your symptoms while maintaining gut health.

FAQ: Can I follow the SIBO diet if I am vegan or vegetarian?

Yes, you can follow a SIBO-friendly diet as a vegan or vegetarian, but it requires careful planning to avoid high-FODMAP plant-based foods. Focus on low-FODMAP protein sources like firm tofu, tempeh, quinoa, and chia seeds, while avoiding high-FODMAP legumes such as lentils and chickpeas. Incorporate a variety of low-FODMAP vegetables and grains, and consider supplementation for nutrients like B12 and iron. It’s recommended to consult a nutritionist to ensure you meet your nutritional needs while managing SIBO symptoms.

FAQ: Can I eat potatoes on a SIBO diet ?

Yes, you can eat potatoes on a SIBO diet, but in moderation and depending on the type of potatoes and their preparation. White potatoes are generally considered low in FODMAPs and can be included in small portions.

However, sweet potatoes are high in FODMAPs, especially if consumed in larger amounts, due to their content of mannitol, a fermentable sugar.

It’s important to control portion sizes, as large quantities of any starchy food can contribute to fermentation in the gut, potentially aggravating SIBO symptoms. For white potatoes, a small serving (around ½ cup) is generally well-tolerated by most people with SIBO.

Be mindful of how they’re cooked—boiled or baked potatoes without added high-FODMAP ingredients like garlic or certain dairy are ideal.

Always remember to tailor the diet to your individual tolerance levels and consult with a healthcare professional to ensure the diet meets your specific needs.
