SIBO Christmas Gift Guide

 

Shopping for Christmas presents for someone with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, Irritable Bowel Syndrome or any of the other gut disorders can seem overwhelming. We have compiled the feedback from SIBO patients themselves who told us exactly what they want this festive season.  There's a range of gift ideas listed below in our SIBO Christmas Gift Guide, from super practical kitchen devises to pamper sessions.  Regardless of who you're shopping for this year, we've got you covered.

Pampering, Relaxing and Therapeutic

Rebecca Coomes The Healthy Gut Christmas Gift Guide Blog

Having SIBO is super stressful so anything you can do to help your loved one relax will be hugely appreciated.

✓ Relaxation massages (we love Endota Spa in Australia for their sublime massages)

âś“ Spa treatments

âś“ Acupuncture sessions or an acupressure mat

âś“ Gift card to a yoga studio or 1 on 1 yoga tuition

✓ Essential oils (how cool is this festive essential oil blend by Black Chicken) and a diffuser

âś“ A subscription to a meditation program or app (Rebecca uses 1Giant Mind and HeadSpace)

âś“ Hydrotherapy sessions

âś“ Sessions with a health psychologist

âś“ Infrared sauna sessions

âś“ A squatty potty or any other toilet stool

âś“ The My Calm weighted blanket

âś“ A heating pad (we like this one) can be really soothing for a sore, painful body

All Things Food

Rebecca Coomes The Healthy Gut Christmas Gift Guide Blog

✓ You can't go past the world's first dedicated SIBO Cookbooks by Rebecca.  Choose from the SIBO Family Favourites, SIBO Summer and SIBO Christmas Cookbooks. Available in Australian editions and US editions.  Order before 14 December to have yours delivered in time for Christmas

✓ Health food store gift voucher

✓ Low FODMAP bone broth, like the GutRxGurus broth (available in the US) and Best of the Bone broth (available in Australia)

âś“ Membership to the GutRxGurus low fermentable recipe website

✓ A food hamper full of low FODMAP and SIBO friendly foods (FODY make a great low FODMAP range of foods)

âś“ A kitchen garden box by fellow SIBOer Kyrstie Barcak (so you can grow SIBO friendly veggies)

âś“ A gift voucher to a SIBO Shopping Tour with Rebecca

âś“ Herbal teas like ginger, peppermint or fennel

✓ Anyone with SIBO finds themselves cooking a lot more, so getting a range of flours (nut flours, coconut flour, etc.), subscription to organic fruit and veg (like from our friends at Organic Angels), or grass-fed meat home delivery (like ButcherBox) can save a heap of time and money

 

Kitchen Equipment

Rebecca Coomes The Healthy Gut Christmas Gift Guide Blog

Find out what your SIBO gift recipient needs in the kitchen to make their life a little easier, and surprise them with a new kitchen gadget or piece of equipment.

✓ Yoghurt maker (this is the one Rebecca uses)

âś“ Yoghurt culture (we love this one by Kultured Wellness)

âś“ A slow cooker or crockpot

âś“ Glass food storage containers like these, so you don't get any nasties from plastic seeping into your food

✓ A juicer to make fresh vegetable juices

âś“ A spiralizer to make veggie noodles (Rebecca has this one)

✓ An insulated lunch bag (pick a funky colour that matches the person you're buying for)

âś“ A good set of knives can make cooking so much more enjoyable

 

Clothing

âś“ Comfortable pants (trousers) with a stretchy waist that can accommodate bloating

✓ Warm and snuggly robe

✓ Stretchy underwear (these might technically be 'maternity wear' but are great for bloated bellies)

 

Education

Rebecca Coomes The Healthy Gut Christmas Gift Guide Blog

âś“ A subscription to the SIBO Coaching Program

âś“ Access to the SIBO SOS Summit I and SIBO SOS Summit II videos

âś“ Access to the Better Belly Project videos

âś“ A 1 on 1 SIBO coaching session with Rebecca Coomes

Medical

✓ Book a session with one of the top SIBO docs, like Dr Allison Siebecker, Dr Steven Sandberg-Lewis, Dr Mark Pimentel, Dr Nirala Jacobi or any of the other great docs who are treating SIBO

âś“ Cover the cost of the medications/herbs/supplements. They will seriously love you for this!

 

Beauty and Skincare

Rebecca Coomes The Healthy Gut Christmas Gift Guide Blog

The skin can be problematic when someone has SIBO, so using natural beauty and skincare products can help sooth the skin and ease inflammation.

✓ Natural moisturisers like Ecology Skincare are perfect for sensitive skin (Rebecca has been using these for several years now and loves them)

✓ Natural deodorants like Schmidt's (why not get this handy 3-pack as a great gift idea?)
