I have a question about the use of butter. My Bi Phasic SIBO diet (Semi Restricted) says no dairy. The only place where butter is mentioned is under healthy fats so I assume that is nut butter.
Thoughts?Reply

Hi Lyn
If you are using the most current version of the SIBO Bi Phasic Diet (updated in 2022), you will see that butter is included from the Semi Restricted phase (page 8 look under fats and oils).

Ahh interesting. My print out must be out of date. Thanks. I’ve never pureed my batter in a blender, either. Is there a reason for that? OR can I just use a large spoon? Thanks again.

My result ended up very good, but all of the spices together were too much for us! I think I’ll make the base Pumpkin Bread with less Cinnamon and Nutmeg only next time. LOL. Thank you I can’t wait to make this again.

I made a loaf and after 1 hr I thought it was done but it was completely raw in the center. So I did it again, using muffin tins instead for 25 min and still raw in the middle. I don’t understand why. 🤣

Hi Marissa
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. That hasn’t happened for me before. What temperature did you set your oven to? Is it fan forced or regular? Are you at altitude? Did you make any modifications to the recipe at all?
Kind regards

Hi, great recipes but I thought sugars of any kind were not permitted in the SIBO diet? this has maple syrup in it
Reply

As you can see from the recipe classification, this is a Low FODMAP recipe. Maple syrup is included in the Low FODMAP diet, hence why this is used in this recipe. Sugar isn’t necessarily 100% excluded from a SIBO diet – it is dependant on the person and the practitioner. Many people can tolerate small amounts of sugar that are suitable with SIBO.

Hi Rebecca! I’m wondering if this pumpkin bread recipe has been tested at all for high altitude baking? I live in Calgary, Canada, and I just can’t seem to get this loaf to rise and not sink when it comes out of the oven.
First attempt was a flop. Barely rose, centre sank while resting, and was undercooked. So for the second attempt, I ensured my baking soda and powders were brand new and fresh. I also substituted coconut flour for the arrowroot in case that might make a difference and baked for longer duration. Still ended up with same result as first attempt. Just tried this recipe for third time today, this time increasing the baking temperature to 375F for one hour, using the arrowroot powder again. I got minimal rising and centre still sank a bit when I took it out of the oven.
I certainly can’t get my loaf to look lovely like your pictured one here. The loaf tastes delicious, even though it is quite heavy and undercooked in the middle. One comment I can offer is the batter seems very heavy. It does not ‘pour’ into the loaf pan as per your recipe. I have to scrape it all out with a spatula. Any helpful advice you can offer?

Hi, Rebecca and Kelly,
re: the bread no setting with false-eggs. Good for you for testing, Rebecca.
And so I wonder if this might work as pancakes, rather than a loaf.Hope this might be helpful,

I thought nuts are high FODMAP? I’ve been looking for a pumpkin bread, and this recipe looks amazing, am new to FODMAPs due to SIBO and was told no nuts. Your prompt reply greatly appreciated!!
Reply
Rebecca Coomes

Hi Tina
Each nut has been calculated for its FODMAP values. Some nuts are higher than others, and some nuts can easily be eaten by people following a Low FODMAP diet. Do you use the Monash University Low FODMAP app? This is the best place to check the quantities of foods for low, medium and high FODMAP levels.
Being told you cannot eat any nuts on a Low FODMAP diet is incorrect. There could be other reasons why you need to avoid nuts, such as a nut allergy or because you are also following an auto immune protocol, but you can eat the low FODMAP nuts on a low FODMAP diet.
This pumpkin bread has been developed in accordance to the quantities allowed for a low FODMAP serving.

Hi Rebecca,
What could one use instead of the almond meal please? I cannot have almond and there are so many recipes with almond meal in it.
Thank you for your advice, SibylleReply

Hi Sibylle
You could use any other nut flour that you can tolerate.

Hi Rebecca,
Is it possible to use lemon juice instead of the apple cider vinegar?
Thank You
NathalieReply
Rebecca Coomes
July 22, 2019 at 11:51 am
Hi Nathalie
Yes, I am sure that would work. I haven’t tried it with lemon juice, but you need to add an acid in to create the chemical reaction to create the rising action in the bread.

Hi Rebecca, can banana be substituted for the pumpkin in this recipe for those of us SIBO’ers who can tolerate banana? If so, I’m also wondering if the spices should be toned down a bit to maybe only include cinnamon and nutmeg — like traditional banana bread?

Hi Debbie
I haven’t made this recipe with banana but I’m sure it would work. You could also just use cinnamon as that goes brilliantly with banana.

Is it possible to substitute Stevia for the Maple Syrup. If so, what would the amount be and would you need to add
extra liquid? Thank you.Reply
Rebecca Coomes
June 24, 2019 at 3:09 pm
Yes, liquid stevia can be used. I haven’t tested this recipe with stevia so I suggest you add a few drops and taste the mixture and see if you want it sweeter (so add more). You may need to add some extra moisture to the batter though, as you’ll lose the volumne from the maple syrup. You can always add a bit of water if your mixture looks too dry.

Unfortunately, this recipe doesn’t work well with an egg replacer, like a flax egg. I did try it and it never fully set.

Hi Renate
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. It’s now fixed so you can see the Metric and Imperial measurements. You could use coconut flour if you could tolerate that?
