	“I Already Had a Stool Test.” Why Functional Gut Testing Is Different From Conventional Testing	19 sept. 2026	00:48:03
Send us Fan Mail If you’ve been dealing with bloating, diarrhea, constipation, food reactions, or other ongoing digestive symptoms, you may have wondered whether functional gut testing can tell you something standard testing missed. In this episode, Alyssa breaks down the difference between conventional and functional gut testing, what each approach is designed to look for, and why two tests that appear to measure the same marker may not answer the same question. You’ll learn: Why conventional and functional gut testing ask different questions What conventional stool testing can reveal about infections, inflammation, digestion, and disease What functional stool testing can reveal about the microbiome, digestion, immune activity, and gut barrier Why the same marker can appear on different types of tests but have different clinical context How functional testing may provide additional information when conventional testing doesn’t explain ongoing symptoms Why a normal test result doesn’t automatically explain away symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or food intolerance How to approach microbiome testing without treating every abnormal result Why emerging gut health markers require careful interpretation When conventional testing may be appropriate and when functional testing may add another layer Why your symptoms, history, test results, and treatment plan need to be considered together Resources mentioned: This free masterclass walks you through the five-step framework we use to help clients move beyond symptom management, rebuild food tolerance, and create a healthier, more resilient gut. Learn more about Nutrition Resolution’s Signature Healthy Gut Restoration Program — a personalized, root-cause approach to addressing bloating, constipation, and underlying digestive imbalances. In this program, testing is selected based on the person's history, symptoms, previous testing, and unanswered clinical questions rather than automatically ordering a broad panel. If you are still struggling with digestive symptoms despite previous testing & protocols, Book a 1:1 Strategy Call and we’ll look at your symptom history, what you’ve already tried, and whether working together makes sense, along with what that would look like.

	Methane SIBO Diet in 2026 - What to Eat With IMO Without Over-Restricting	10 sept. 2026	00:42:41
Send us Fan Mail What if the diet that's helping you control your methane SIBO symptoms isn't actually addressing the reason you still need such a restrictive diet? In this episode, we break down what we know about the methane SIBO diet, IMO, low FODMAP diets, constipation, intestinal motility, fermentation, fiber, resistant starch, and food reintroduction, including newer research from 2025 and 2026. You’ll learn: Why methane SIBO/IMO can make eating feel so confusing Why low FODMAP can help symptoms without necessarily eliminating methane-producing organisms The connection between methane, constipation, and slow intestinal transit Why fiber, resistant starch, raw vegetables, and high-fat meals can sometimes be difficult to tolerate when you're significantly bloated and constipated How an increasingly restrictive diet can affect nutrition, food variety, and quality of life Why food tolerance can depend on portion size, preparation, and combinations, not simply whether a food is “good” or “bad” How to know when your diet may be ready to expand What makes an elemental diet fundamentally different from simply eliminating more foods What newer research tells us about elemental diets and methane Why your methane levels, bowel function, symptoms, and food tolerance all matter when deciding what happens next Resources mentioned: Download Methane SIBO Diet Plan - a practical guide with a complete food list, meal ideas, a 7-day meal plan, and a 7-day grocery list to help put the dietary strategies discussed in the episode into practice. Listen to How to Comprehensively Address Methane SIBO - for a deeper look at the process of addressing methane SIBO beyond dietary symptom management. If you've been stuck on a restrictive diet and aren't sure what comes next, this free masterclass walks you through the five-step framework we use to help clients move beyond symptom management, rebuild food tolerance, and create a healthier, more resilient gut.

	Spent Thousands on SIBO Treatment but Still Not Better? Here’s What’s Missing	03 sept. 2026	00:37:19
Send us Fan Mail If you've spent thousands of dollars on SIBO testing, antibiotics, herbal antimicrobials, supplements, restrictive diets, and practitioner visits but still aren't getting lasting relief, the problem may not be that you haven't tried hard enough. After more than a decade working with difficult SIBO cases, I've seen how easily digestive care can become fragmented: one test, one protocol, one diet, one supplement, without a larger strategy connecting them. In this episode, we're looking at what can be missing when SIBO treatment provides only temporary improvement, why treatment sequencing matters, and why a positive SIBO test doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the next step. We'll explore: Why repeatedly adding treatments isn't necessarily the answer. How your SIBO type can influence the treatment approach. Why the timing and sequencing of treatment matter. What your previous treatment history can reveal about what may have been missed. Why addressing root contributors matters when you're trying to reduce recurrence. What needs to happen beyond simply clearing an overgrowth. Why rebuilding the gut and expanding your diet can be an important part of the bigger picture. What to ask before spending money on another SIBO test, supplement, or protocol. Resources mentioned: 1. Listen to: Root Causes of SIBO: Why It’s Usually a Gut Environment Problem, Not Just a Bacteria Problem 2. Listen to: Why SIBO Comes Back After Rifaximin (3 Reasons Symptoms Return After Antibiotics) 3. Listen to: SIBO Die-Off: Why You Feel Worse Before You Feel Better (And What To Do About It) 4.

	Could Bile Acid Diarrhea Be Part of Your IBS-D? What to Eat and How to Manage It	27 août 2026	00:44:24
Send us Fan Mail If you're dealing with urgent, watery diarrhea after meals, you may have already started looking for the food responsible. But when eliminating dairy, gluten, FODMAPs, or other suspected triggers doesn't make much difference, it may be time to look beyond individual foods. In this episode, Alyssa explores a commonly overlooked reason for persistent diarrhea and explains why the timing of symptoms, meal composition, fat intake, medical history, and digestive patterns can tell a very different story than another food elimination. She also breaks down why some people continue struggling despite following a strict low-FODMAP diet, how fat can influence symptoms, where soluble fiber fits in, and why managing this condition doesn't have to mean living on an increasingly restrictive diet. If you've been removing more and more foods but your diarrhea still feels unpredictable, this episode may give you a different way to look at what's happening. Resources mentioned: Download Bile Acid Diarrhea Diet Guide - a practical guide with a complete food list, meal ideas, a 7-day meal plan, and a 7-day grocery list to help put the dietary strategies discussed in the episode into practice.

	Low FODMAP vs. Low Fermentation for SIBO Can Either Diet Prevent Relapse	20 août 2026	00:40:41
Send us Fan Mail If a SIBO diet makes your symptoms disappear, does that mean the SIBO is gone? In this episode, Alyssa breaks down the role of low FODMAP and low fermentation diets in SIBO care, and why symptom relief, bacterial eradication, and relapse prevention aren't necessarily the same thing. She also explores how motility, constipation, post-infectious changes, and other underlying contributors can influence recurrence, and why the goal isn't to stay as restricted as possible forever.

	Digestive Enzymes Explained: IBS, SIBO & Food Intolerances \| Erin Judge	13 août 2026	00:53:14
Send us Fan Mail Can digestive enzymes actually reduce bloating and food reactions, or does it depend on what's causing your symptoms in the first place? In this episode, Alyssa sits down with GI dietitian Erin Judge, who works with the clinical team at FODZYME, to answer one of the biggest questions people with IBS, SIBO, and food intolerances ask: when do digestive enzymes actually help? This conversation explores the bigger picture of why food intolerances develop, how different digestive enzymes work, and where they fit in alongside treating the underlying cause. Whether you've been following a Low FODMAP diet for years or you're afraid to reintroduce foods after SIBO treatment, you'll come away with a clearer understanding of when digestive enzymes may help, and when another approach is needed. In this episode, you'll learn: Why food intolerance is different from a food allergy The different types of food intolerances, and why they aren't all treated the same Why most over-the-counter digestive enzymes don't work the same way How digestive enzymes fit into IBS, SIBO, and Low FODMAP management When digestive enzymes may help you eat more foods with fewer symptoms Why digestive enzymes aren't a replacement for treating the root cause How to use digestive enzymes during food reintroduction Practical ways to reduce food fear while expanding your diet About Erin Judge: Erin Judge, RDN, LDN is a GI dietitian who has specialized in IBS and other functional disorders of gut-brain interaction for the last 8 years.

	Fat Malabsorption: Why Fat in Your Diet May Be Triggering Digestive Symptoms	06 août 2026	00:39:07
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alyssa explains why fat malabsorption is an often-overlooked cause of chronic digestive symptoms like diarrhea, greasy stools, bloating, weight loss, and nutrient deficiencies. Learn how your liver, pancreas, and small intestine work together to digest fat, what happens when that process breaks down, and why continuing to eliminate foods may not solve the real problem. You'll learn: What fat malabsorption is and how it affects digestion The difference between fat malabsorption and food sensitivities Why greasy stools (steatorrhea) happen Symptoms that may point to poor fat absorption Common causes of fat malabsorption, including: Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), Reduced bile production, SIBO, Celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and Short bowel syndrome Why fat malabsorption is different from bile acid malabsorption (BAD) How fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies develop Why healthy fats can still trigger symptoms Practical dietary strategies that can reduce symptoms while you investigate the underlying cause Why restricting more foods isn't always the answer Resources mentioned: Not sure what to eat if you're dealing with fat malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, greasy stools, bloating, or difficulty digesting fatty foods?

	Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: The Overlooked Root Cause of SIBO, Chronic Constipation, Bloating & Motility Disorders with Rebecca Patton	31 juil. 2026	00:46:35
Send us Fan Mail If you've been treating chronic constipation, bloating, and motility issues from the gut side alone, microbiome work, methane SIBO protocols, bile flow, motility agents, and progress keeps stalling, there may be a structural piece nobody has assessed. In this episode, pelvic floor physical therapist Rebecca Patton explains how the muscles of the abdomen and pelvis form a single pressure system, why pain drives that system into protective tension, and how that tension makes motility worse in a self-reinforcing loop. The conversation covers outlet obstruction constipation, why not every pelvic floor therapist actually evaluates the pelvic floor, and the widely under-recognized role of past abdominal surgeries, C-sections, hysterectomies, gallbladder removals, appendectomies, in gut dysfunction that shows up years later. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why your gut and pelvic floor are one connected pressure system, not separate problems How pain creates protective muscle tension that slows motility even further What outlet obstruction constipation is, and why laxatives don't touch it Why Kegels can make things worse for some people How C-sections, hysterectomies, gallbladder removals, and appendectomies affect gut function years later Why recurrent SIBO may have a structural root cause nobody's checked What an actual pelvic floor evaluation involves, and the three questions to ask before booking Why gut protocols and pelvic floor rehab stall without each other About Rebecca: Dr. Rebecca Patton is a pelvic floor physical therapist and the founder of Patton Pelvic Health in Arizona. She provides personalized, trauma-informed, and inclusive care for people experiencing bowel and bladder dysfunction, constipation, chronic pelvic pain, and sexual health concerns. She is also an adjunct professor at Midwestern University, where she teaches gender-inclusive pelvic physical therapy, and mentors clinicians and graduate students pursuing pelvic health training.

	Is Your SIBO Diet Helping or Keeping You Stuck?	21 juil. 2026	00:31:13
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alyssa explains one of the biggest misconceptions in SIBO recovery: the belief that a therapeutic diet is the treatment. While Low FODMAP and SIBO diets can be incredibly effective for reducing symptoms, they were never designed to be the finish line. They're a tool to create stability, not a permanent way of eating. Alyssa walks through why long-term restriction can hold your gut back, the difference between symptom management and true healing, and what should happen between eliminating foods and successfully reintroducing them. You'll learn: Why food doesn't cause SIBO How therapeutic diets actually work Why your food list may keep shrinking The hidden downside of long-term restriction Why microbiome diversity matters Stable gut vs resilient gut How to measure healing beyond symptom reduction Why food fear develops How Nutrition Resolution approaches food reintroductions What real food freedom looks like Free resources: Not sure what to eat with SIBO, IBS, reflux, histamine intolerance, constipation, or other digestive conditions?

	Pancreatic Insufficiency: What to Eat, How to Structure Your Meals, and Why Enzymes Aren't Enough on Their Own	23 juin 2026	00:46:32
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alyssa breaks down one of the most overlooked aspects of pancreatic insufficiency management: nutrition. While pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is essential, diet plays a major role in determining how well those enzymes work and how you feel day to day. We explore what a practical pancreatic insufficiency diet looks like, common mistakes that keep symptoms lingering, and why many people with EPI may also be dealing with overlapping conditions like SIBO, IBS, or gut microbiome imbalances. You'll learn: What is pancreatic insufficiency, and common EPI symptoms Why EPI is often mistaken for IBS and SIBO, and how fat malabsorption affects digestion The connection between EPI and bacterial overgrowth What to eat & limit with pancreatic insufficiency Meal timing and meal structure strategies Nutrients commonly depleted in EPI Why symptoms sometimes persist despite enzyme therapy Free resources: Listen to Daniella’s healing journey here.

	A New IBS Study Just Validated What Functional Practitioners Have Been Saying for Years	11 juin 2026	00:33:28
Send us Fan Mail Why do some people dramatically improve with a treatment that does absolutely nothing for someone else with the exact same IBS diagnosis? A new 2026 study may help answer that question. In this episode, Alyssa breaks down groundbreaking research that individualized IBS treatment based on microbiome findings rather than treating everyone with the same symptom-based approach. The results challenge one of the biggest assumptions in digestive health: that people with the same diagnosis need the same solutions. You’ll learn: Why IBS is a symptom description, not a root cause The major flaw in much of IBS research What a new 2026 personalized IBS study discovered Why averages can hide meaningful treatment success The difference between symptom-based care and individualized care How methane SIBO, pelvic floor dysfunction, and motility issues can overlap Why diarrhea isn't always caused by the same underlying problem The role of bile acid malabsorption and pancreatic enzyme insufficiency How histamine intolerance can masquerade as digestive dysfunction Why sequencing matters just as much as choosing the right intervention The common mistake people make with probiotics, fiber, glutamine, and elimination diets What personalized gut health care may look like in the future Free resources: Download Alyssa’s IBS Constipation Diet Guide with gentle meal ideas, a list of foods to avoid, practical IBS-C-friendly strategies, and sample meals for bloating and constipation support Book your free 15-minute strategy call, and we’ll look at your symptom history, what you’ve already tried, and whether working together makes sense, along with what that would look like.

	Why We Need to Get Things Moving Before SIBO Treatment	02 juin 2026	00:28:31
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alyssa breaks down one of the overlooked pieces of successful SIBO recovery: making sure the digestive system is actually moving before starting SIBO treatment. Because when bowel movements are incomplete, sluggish, or backed up, the body has a much harder time clearing fermentation byproducts, gas, and bacterial die-off compounds, which can make treatment feel unbearable. Inside this episode, we discuss: Why constipation is about more than “not going enough” The connection between methane gas and slowed motility Why many people feel awful during antibiotics or herbal protocols The relationship between constipation, toxin recirculation, and die-off symptoms Why “eat more fiber” often backfires in IBS-C and methane SIBO Why giant salads, fiber supplements, and roughage can worsen fermentation Gentle strategies that often work better for methane-dominant cases Why nervous system regulation plays a major role in digestion and motility The mistake of pushing through severe die-off symptoms Supportive strategies for bowel movements and downstream clearance Free resources: Download Alyssa’s IBS Constipation Diet Guide with gentle meal ideas, a list of foods to avoid, practical IBS-C-friendly strategies, and sample meals for bloating and constipation support Watch Alyssa’s FREE Masterclass: “Why Your Gut Still Isn’t Better — The Real Reason You Feel Stuck” Book your free 15-minute strategy call, and we’ll look at your symptom history, what you’ve already tried, and whether working together makes sense, along with what that would look like.

	Root Causes of SIBO: Why It’s Usually a Gut Environment Problem, Not Just a Bacteria Problem	22 mai 2026	00:55:34
Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever felt better temporarily after antibiotics, herbals, or restrictive diets only to have symptoms slowly return again, this episode explains why that happens and what’s often being missed underneath the surface. Rather than viewing SIBO as simply “bad bacteria coming back,” Alyssa walks through the larger gut environment that allows overgrowth to happen in the first place — including motility issues, digestion problems, nervous system dysregulation, constipation, microbiome depletion, and impaired gut defenses. You’ll learn: Why recurring SIBO is usually not just one single “root cause” The difference between treating bacterial overgrowth vs restoring gut function How the small intestine normally regulates bacterial balance Why impaired motility and the migrating motor complex matter so much The role of stomach acid, bile flow, digestive enzymes, and gut immunity Why symptom relief does not always mean the gut environment has recovered The hidden reasons SIBO keeps relapsing after treatment Why restrictive diets alone rarely create lasting recovery How chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation affect digestion What needs to improve to make long-term progress possible Free resources: Download Alyssa’s FREE SIBO Diet Recipe Collection for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dessert ideas that support gut healing without unnecessary restriction.

	Why Your Constipation Diet May Be Making IBS-C Worse	15 mai 2026	00:46:58
Send us Fan Mail Constipation is one of the most oversimplified digestive symptoms online. But what happens when you’re already doing all of the things - eating more fiber, drinking more water, taking magnesium citrate and probiotic supplements - and you still feel bloated, backed up, uncomfortable, reactive to foods, and worse the harder you try to “eat healthy”? In this episode, Alyssa unpacks why IBS-C is often much more complex than a simple fiber deficiency, and why certain healthy foods can actually backfire in sensitive digestive systems. You will learn: Why constipation and bloating are so closely connected How slowed motility and microbial fermentation create a vicious cycle Why methane gas can actively slow digestion down The gut-brain connection and the nervous system’s role in IBS-C Signs your constipation may actually be methane SIBO / IMO Gentle strategies to support motility without overwhelming the gut Methane SIBO episodes: For Buzzsprout: What is Methane SIBO?

	Can Betrayal & Trauma Affect Your Gut? The Hidden Link Between Betrayal & Digestive Issues ft. Dr. Debi Silber	24 mars 2026	00:38:41
Send us Fan Mail What if your gut symptoms weren’t just about food, but about something much deeper? In this episode, Alyssa sits down with Dr. Debbie Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, to explore the powerful and often overlooked connection between betrayal, trauma, and gut health. After experiencing profound personal betrayal, Dr. Debbie went on to complete groundbreaking PhD research, uncovering a completely new framework for healing, one that explains why many people stay stuck physically, emotionally, and even digestively for years. Together, they unpack how betrayal impacts the body, why it creates a unique type of trauma, and how it can show up as chronic digestive issues like IBS, bloating, and inflammation. You’ll learn about: Why betrayal is a different type of trauma that requires a different healing approach What post-betrayal syndrome is and how it affects physical health (including the gut) The surprising link between trauma and digestive conditions The 5 stages of healing after betrayal, and where most people get stuck Why time alone doesn’t heal trauma, and what actually does Guest bio: Dr. Debi Silber, Founder and CEO of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and National Forgiveness Day, is an award-winning speaker, 2-time #1 International bestselling author, and host of From Betrayal to Breakthrough (top 1.5% globally). Her groundbreaking PhD study revealed 3 discoveries that completely revolutionized our understanding of betrayal and full healing. Creator of the world's #1 betrayal recovery certification for life, business, health, and leadership coaches, she's been featured on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, and TEDx (twice). But what makes Dr. Debi's message truly resonate is her own story. After spending the early part of her 34-year career as a lifestyle coach, a devastating personal betrayal sent her into a PhD program — and into discoveries that transformed both her life and her field. Her journey through all five stages is the living proof behind the research, and the reason her message reaches anyone who has ever wondered if they will truly be okay again.

	When a Low Fiber Approach Can Help: What to Eat During Flares and Sensitivity	17 mars 2026	00:17:04
Send us Fan Mail Have you ever tried to do everything right for your gut - add more fiber, eat more vegetables, sprinkle chia seeds on everything, only to feel worse instead of better? There are times when pushing fiber can actually make symptoms more uncomfortable, more urgent, and more unpredictable. In this episode, Alyssa talks about temporarily lowering fiber to help the gut calm down during a flare. You’ll learn when a short-term low fiber approach can be helpful, what foods tend to feel gentler during that phase, and how to rebuild fiber tolerance later without triggering another setback. In this episode, we cover: Why increasing fiber sometimes makes digestive symptoms worse What a low fiber diet actually means (and what it doesn’t) Situations where temporarily lowering fiber can help calm the gut Foods that are typically easier to tolerate during digestive flares How long to stay low fiber before rebuilding tolerance A practical approach to reintroducing fiber without triggering symptoms Resources mentioned: Download the Low Fiber Foods List + 7-Day Meal Plan DM “GUT CHECK” on Alyssa’s Instagram for a personalized quiz and free meal plans & resources to kickstart your gut healing journey.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alyssa breaks down the most common misconceptions about the diverticulosis diet and explains what current research actually shows about fiber, seeds, nuts, and everyday eating patterns. Many people unintentionally mix up diverticulosis and diverticulitis, even though the dietary approaches for these two conditions are very different. You’ll learn why much of the advice circulating online comes from outdated guidelines, and how that confusion often leads to unnecessary food fear and restrictive eating. You’ll learn: The key difference between diverticulosis and diverticulitis Why the long-standing advice to avoid nuts, seeds, popcorn, and corn is outdated How fiber actually supports colon health, and why pace matters Why constipation and pressure in the colon play a major role in diverticulitis risk How a Mediterranean-style eating pattern supports long-term gut health The most common mistakes people make when trying to follow a diverticulosis diet What a realistic, supportive day of eating looks like If you’ve been avoiding foods out of fear or feeling unsure how to build meals after a diverticulosis diagnosis, this episode will help you approach food with more clarity, confidence, and calm.

	High Fiber Diet: What to Eat, Why It Matters, And How to Do It Without Upsetting Your Gut	17 févr. 2026	00:39:43
Send us Fan Mail Fiber is everywhere right now. It’s being praised as the answer for gut health, blood sugar, cholesterol, hormones, and weight regulation, often all at once. And yet, for many people, actually trying to eat more fiber leads to the opposite of what they expected: bloating, discomfort, gas, or pain. In this episode, Alyssa unpacks why the conversation around fiber has become so confusing, and why so many well-intentioned people feel worse when they follow generic “eat more fiber” advice. You’ll learn: Why more fiber isn’t always better Soluble vs insoluble fiber (and why both matter) Fermentable fiber, resistant starch, and tolerance How fiber supports gut bacteria, bile flow, hormones, and blood sugar Why fiber can help with constipation and diarrhea How to add fiber without bloating or gas When a high fiber diet is not the right starting point Resources mentioned: Download the High Fiber Diet PDF + 7-Day Meal Plan to build a fiber-rich eating pattern that supports your gut, without wrecking digestion.

	Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO: The Nitty-Gritty of the Tools We Use & Why	10 févr. 2026	00:27:18
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alyssa takes the conversation around hydrogen sulfide SIBO one level deeper. She shares how hydrogen sulfide SIBO is actually approached in practice, and why jumping ahead, whether to antimicrobials, binders, or protocols, often makes symptoms worse instead of better. Rather than focusing on “what to take,” Alyssa breaks down the sequence that matters: Why clarity has to come before treatment Why symptom calming isn’t the same as healing (but still matters) Why motility, bile flow, and timing quietly determine whether progress sticks And why rebuilding the gut too early is one of the most common reasons people relapse Along the way, she explains why hydrogen sulfide SIBO is so reactive, why some people feel better but flare easily, and why the same tool can help one person while flaring another, depending entirely on when it’s used.

	Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO Diet & Recovery: What Finally Worked for Doug	29 janv. 2026	00:45:19
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Gut Health Dialogues Podcast, Alyssa Simpson sits down with her client Doug, who shares his powerful journey from being house-bound and limited to a “safe” diet of chicken and rice, to reclaiming his gut health, his confidence, and his life. What started as a frustrating case of “IBS with no answers” turned out to be Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO, a form of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that’s often missed on standard breath tests and misdiagnosed as IBS, anxiety, or stress. Alyssa and Doug unpack what it really takes to identify and treat this overlooked condition, from testing and dietary strategy to motility support and rebuilding tolerance, showing that recovery is not only possible, it’s life-changing. What You’ll Learn How Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO differs from other types of SIBO. Common but often missed symptoms include bloating and diarrhea, fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain. The real reason restrictive diets often make things worse. Steps to test, identify, and treat Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO effectively. A firsthand look at what long-term gut healing and food reintroduction actually look like.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Alyssa Simpson unpacks a common yet widely misunderstood subtype of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO): hydrogen sulfide SIBO. Many people with this pattern have spent years chasing answers, trying diets like low FODMAP, gluten-free, or low-carb, cycling through symptom management, and being told tests are normal, only to feel worse, confused, or convinced there’s no solution in sight. Alyssa breaks down: What hydrogen sulfide SIBO is and isn’t Why it behaves differently than hydrogen or methane dominant SIBO Why symptoms can be unpredictable, systemic, and not limited to the gut How conventional testing and treatment often miss it How to think about diet, testing, and targeted functional approaches If you’ve ever felt like your digestive symptoms just don’t make sense, fluctuating between diarrhea, constipation, bloating, brain fog, fatigue, or body pain, this episode will help you finally connect the dots.

	When Your Body Feels Toxic After Eating: The Sulfur Clue Everyone Misses	08 janv. 2026	00:41:18
Send us Fan Mail Have you tried low FODMAP, gluten-free, dairy-free, or elimination diets and still feel sick after eating? In this episode, Alyssa Simpson breaks down one of the most confusing and misunderstood nutrition strategies in gut health: the low sulfur diet. This is not an episode about cutting out “bad foods” or following another restrictive diet forever. Instead, Alyssa explains why a short, strategic low-sulfur diet trial can be a powerful clarity tool for people who feel deeply unwell after eating, especially those who have already tried low FODMAP, gluten-free, dairy-free, or elimination diets with little to no relief. She walks listeners through what sulfur actually is, why the body normally needs it, and why some people suddenly stop tolerating sulfur-rich foods that are otherwise considered healthy. Along the way, Alyssa shares real client stories that reveal how sulfur overload and hydrogen sulfide activity in the gut can explain symptoms that feel random, cyclical, or impossible to predict. What you’ll learn in this episode: When a low-sulfur diet trial makes sense (and when it doesn’t) Common high-sulfur foods to temporarily reduce Low-sulfur foods that are often easier to tolerate during the trial Why protein does not need to be eliminated Supplements that may quietly increase sulfur load Why improvement during the trial is a clue, not a diagnosis How breath testing can help confirm hydrogen sulfide involvement Resources mentioned in this episode: Download the free Low Sulfur Diet Guide + 7-Day Meal Plan DM “GUT CHECK” on Alyssa’s Instagram for a personalized quiz and free meal plans & resources to kickstart your gut healing journey.

	Diet vs Meds: What’s Actually Stopping Your Constipation Medication from Working	24 sept. 2025	00:30:43
Send us Fan Mail If you’ve tried more fiber, magnesium, MiraLAX, and water—but you’re still backed up—this episode is for you. Alyssa dives deep into constipation, busts myths, and shows what really moves the needle when your gut is sluggish. She covers why “healthy” foods can sometimes make things worse, what your gut actually needs to start moving, and small shifts in timing, hydration, and food pairings that can bring real relief. What you’ll learn in this episode: Which foods (even “healthy” ones) can slow down digestion, especially when your gut is already struggling. How to use cooked veggies, soluble fiber, and hydration strategically so your supplements or laxatives don’t work against you. Why pairing fiber without sufficient water or spacing supplements and meals properly can backfire. Simple daily habits — like eating schedule, gentle movement, chewing more — that support motility (your gut’s “get moving” power). How imbalances like methane overgrowth or yeast (candida) might be silently sabotaging your progress if the basics aren’t working.

	Are You Managing Your Gut Or Actually Healing It?	21 août 2025	00:21:28
