What You Should Know About the SIBO Diet

3. Drink Water -- Not Soda

One thing the SIBO diet has in common with most other diets is the instruction to drink more water and drop those soft drinks. Water helps flush the digestive tract. It keeps you hydrated and adds no calories to your intake. Soda, on the other hand, is calorie-rich. Moreover, its high sugar content promotes the growth of bad bacteria. Many types of bad bacteria feed on sugar, so by drinking soda, you're directly impeding your gut health.
