SIBO And Elimination Diets?

[RusticBohemian]

If someone on a long term whole foods vegan diet has been diagnosed with SIBO and told to go on a low fodmap diet, does it make sense to still try the elimination diet you suggest?

If three days of just trying to eat sweet potatoes has not yielded a decrease in gas and bloating, is there hope that a longer period of trying?

What does one do if even the elimination diet causes problems?

The FODMAP approach has not been shown to be more effective then the standard elimination diet

I would recommend reading this thread on the elimination diet & remember, while there are foods that have been found to be less reactive, there is no guaranteed safe food. It is not always an easy process.
