Biphasic SIBO Diet | Brisbane Naturopath Guide
The biphasic SIBO diet is a structured dietary approach used to support symptoms such as bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort associated with SIBO and gut imbalance.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition where excess bacteria are present in the small intestine, often leading to symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, gas, fatigue, and changes in bowel habits.
However, SIBO symptoms often overlap with other gut conditions, including parasites, SIFO, and microbiome imbalance.

What is a Biphasic SIBO Diet?
The biphasic SIBO diet is a two-phase approach designed to:
- Reduce fermentable carbohydrates that feed bacteria
- Improve digestive symptoms
- Support gut healing
- Gradually reintroduce foods
—
Phase 1: Elimination Phase
During this phase, foods that may feed bacterial overgrowth are reduced or eliminated.
- High FODMAP foods
- Fermented foods
- Processed carbohydrates
- Certain sugars and starches
This phase is designed to reduce symptoms such as bloating and gas.
—
Phase 2: Reintroduction Phase
Foods are gradually reintroduced to identify triggers and build dietary tolerance.
This phase helps create a sustainable, long-term eating pattern rather than a restrictive diet.

SIBO, Parasites and Gut Imbalance
Many individuals with SIBO symptoms may also have overlapping gut issues, including:
- Parasites or protozoa
- Fungal overgrowth (SIFO)
- Gut microbiome imbalance
- Digestive dysfunction
This is why diet alone is often not enough to address the root cause.

Is the Biphasic Diet Enough to Treat SIBO?
While the biphasic diet can help reduce symptoms, it does not address the underlying cause of gut imbalance.
In clinical practice, we often combine diet with:
- Gut microbiome support
- Digestive support
- Targeted supplementation
- Personalised treatment plans
—
Testing Before Starting a SIBO Diet
Because symptoms can overlap between SIBO, parasites, and gut imbalance, testing is often recommended before starting restrictive diets.
Test Before You Restrict
A gut microbiome test can help identify whether symptoms are linked to bacterial overgrowth, parasites, or broader gut imbalance.

From Diet to Structured Gut Support
Many patients benefit from moving beyond diet into a structured program that supports gut healing step-by-step.
