Carrot Ginger Dressing
SIBO Friendly & Low FODMAP
Often during the height of inflammation with SIBO people experience many food sensitivities. Soy sauce is one of them as soy is highly processed and genetically modified. Soy has always been a food that I’ve been sensitive to but absolutely love Asian inspired meals! I created this recipe which still has the same amazing traditional carrot ginger dressing taste without the soy sauce…and a bit more creaminess with the sunflower seed butter!
I’ve also included an alternative to the sesame oil in case that one’s an issue for you as well!
SIBO Supportive Meal: Carrots are one of the easiest starchy vegetables to digest due to their low FODMAP content (they’re a great alternative in many squash or sweet potato recipes because of this!) which makes this an easy to digest dressing!
The ginger is also a great prokinetic, which helps to promote movement of your small intestine that may be slowed by the overgrowth of bacteria.
