So I listened to Dr. Siebecker's presentation at the Paleo Summit this past week and became curious about SIBO. Upon further research, I saw that a variety of diets are recommended to combat SIBO and many of these diets include non-paleo foods. So I set out to fashion a paleo version of the GAPS/SCD/FODMAP diets that would specifically address paleo eaters and SIBO sympthoms. It looks like what I came up with was a very anti-inflammatory diet. Not sure how long one would have to follow this in order to heal their gut but take a look and let me know if you've ever tried to reconcile all these diets in order to restore health as well as be paleo-compliant:

(note: I'm a chef, so I instinctually made a sample meal plan for this diet)
