Fatty Liver and SIBO: When Eating Healthier Leaves You Bloated

If you’ve been diagnosed with fatty liver and are struggling to tolerate the foods you’re encouraged to eat, there’s a connection worth understanding.

In this episode of The Gut Health Dialogues, Alyssa explores new research on fatty liver disease and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), and what it may reveal about the relationship between digestive health and metabolic health.

The findings raise an important question: when your gut symptoms make it harder to follow a nutritious eating pattern, should you keep changing your diet, or could something else be going on?

In this episode, we explore:

• The research that prompted a closer look at fatty liver and SIBO
• Why eating healthier doesn’t always feel better when digestive symptoms are involved
• The connection between your gut and liver
• Symptoms that may deserve more attention than you think
• Why continually eliminating foods may not address the underlying problem
• How to approach digestive symptoms while working toward better long-term health

If you have fatty liver alongside persistent bloating, gas or unpredictable bowel movements, this conversation may give you a new perspective on what to discuss with your healthcare provider.
