Are your recipes based on Fodmap diet? I am confused since you use honey and I thought that was not recommended for SIBO?
Good Question!
The recipes on this site are based on the SIBO Specific Food Map created by Alison Siebecker ND which is a combination of the FODMAP diet and the SCD diet. SCD diet allows honey and FODMAP’s does not allow honey as a low category option for fructose malabsorbers. Many people with with SIBO or other intestinal issues can also be fructose malabsorbers. Honey is made up of fructose and glucose. Some honeys, such as orange blossom honey, have a higher ratio of fructose to glucose and so these honeys are not allowed. Other honeys, such as clover honey, have a 50:50 ratio of fructose to glucose and this ratio of fructose to glucose has been shown to be absorbed normally even in fructose malabsorbers. Other honeys that are acceptable are raspberry, cotton and alfalfa. That being said if you find that you are reactive to the clover honey than don’t use it because everyone is different. If you want to learn more about this or anything else about SIBO check out Dr. Siebecker’s website http://www.SIBOinfo.com and she has just about anything you would want to know about SIBO on there.
So I am glad you asked this question because I did not specify in my recipes about which type of honey to use. 🙂
Shredding chicken is a new one for me… recooking the chicken with the salt, aminos, and lemon juice made it so much more interesting! This dish is full of flavor, tastes new and different, and really delicious as leftovers. I made this for guests and they raved. The Honey Sesame Dressing can be used on lots of other veggie dishes… thanks for posting this recipe!
I made this as my contribution to the 4th of July potluck. It was very tasty! Thank you. I made it as written except using leftover rotisserie chicken which made putting this salad together a breeze.
