those of you on low,no sugar as per shen..i eliminate sugar outside of fruit...taking my clue from "the special carb diet"for colitus chrohns etc..elaine gottshel..bad bacteria is what she tries to have you avoid but she does allow fruit because it does not increase bad bacteria according to her..i also now eliminated all starchy carbs period..and manage ok but eat at least three fruit a day..hmmm there is a contridiction here..any thoughts on that anyone?

According to what I have read from the BTVC book, fruits and honey are single sugars, and absorbed very quickly without having time to feed the bad bugs. (In most people, but not all) But table sugar is a double sugar, starches are a complex sugar, requiring the bacteria to break them down, and potentially providing a wonderful food source for the bad bacteria, and causing SIBO. If you can tolerate fruits and honey fine, then it is important to eat them in between meals, so they are digested quickly.

I lift weights and do 500lb tire flipping exercise for 7 years with my J..havent had a staple shoot out yet but dont wanna jinx myself
