This diet is truly palatable. I got this for my daughter and it was a pleasant experience for her and she got a negative SIBO breath test afterwards so it was well worth it!

I was diagnosed with hydrogen based sibo Sep 2025. I think I had it for a few years, undiagnosed. I went through all the tests possible, until my functional medicine NP gave me an invasive breath test and GI map. I was positive for sibo and h.pylori. I’m sensitive to antibiotics, so she presented me with the option of elemental diet for 14 day. I also purchased the extra week. Day one, I didn’t enjoy the taste, but after that I got used to both the vanilla and orange and actually preferred vanilla in the end. Day 2, I was hungry, but those food cravings subsided after the 2nd day. I drank roughly 120-160 ounces of water. I didn’t really feel hungry until day 10 and I was surprised my blood sugar levels never felt abnormal. I didn’t work out at all during this time. On day 14 I introduced broth. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to just start eating solid food. I’m glad I purchased the extra week because I used that as a hybrid while my stomach expanded back to normal. I did low fodmap for a few weeks, then started introducing more variety of food. It’s been 8 weeks and I still feel great in terms of bloating and constipation. I’m taking other supplements to rid the h. Pylori and keep everything in a gentle flow, but I’m feeling great and so glad I did it. I’d like to see more long term studies.
Hi Tanya,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for our Elemental Diet. We're so happy to hear that it helped with your hydrogen-based SIBO. We understand that it can be a difficult journey to find the right solution, but we're glad that our diet was able to make a positive impact for you.
We're also glad to hear that your hunger pangs subsided after the first few days. We find it takes a few days to adjust to not chewing at meal times. If you need guidance during your transition period back to solid foods, we do offer a free 7-day transition plan on our website, made in partnership with our sister company GoodLFE.
Thank you for trusting us and we wish you continued success. We appreciate your feedback and we are working on longer-term studies, so stay tuned!
Take care and stay well!

This ED is very palatable! I love the orange flaver but even original is nice.
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed our Tasting Samples, especially the orange flavor. We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy our original flavor as well.

14 days on MBiota did not fully clear my IMO, but it did reduce my methane levels and my symptoms SIGNIFIGANTLY. I will likely do this again in the future maybe even for ~18 days to see if I can fully normalize my methane levels. I recommend trying MBiota if you deal with overgrowth.
Hello Sam,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad to hear that the mBIOTA Elemental diet was able to help reduce your symptoms significantly. IMO can be tough to eradicate, as the archaea can overgrow in both the colon and the small intestine. We wish you the best of luck as you continue to work towards normalizing your methane levels. Please keep us updated, we're rooting for you!

The Elemental diet is the best SIBO treatment I have tried. I have previously tried herbal antibiotics and also a round of Xifaxin antibiotics RX. The Elemental diet with the follow up of prokinetics has given me the most relief from years of SIBO symptoms. The product is palatable and also very filling. I was only able to make the 6 packets on 1 of the 14 days. I am a small woman who strength trains and workouts daily and I still could not swallow that many calories in a day. I found it helpful to read online reviews to help with the progression of the days and the symptoms ie; severe diarrhea days 2-5 and continuing throughout and beyond the use of the product. Days 2-4 I couldn’t leave the house due to the frequency of diarrhea and it was not until day 9 that I started feeling more energy, less lethargic. Overall I would highly recommend using this product first if you have been tested positive for SIBO.
Suggestions to Elemental DIet: Offer a 5 packet per day option for smaller people. Offer an “average” daily experience guide for days 1-14. It really helped to know that the lack of energy and intestinal upset were “normal” and would also get better after day 8. I only found this out through searching online not on the Elemental website. It is difficult to keep going as the days progress and symptoms are getting worse not better. I really helped to know that all that I was experiencing was to be expected.
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with mBIOTA! We are so glad to hear you have achieved relief from SIBO. Thank you for your feedback on additional resources we might provide. We agree and are working on building these to better support our community!
While most people need anywhere from 4-6 packets a day, we include 6 per day to meet the RDI of 1800 calories a day. We've heard from other customers that any leftover packets can be helpful to have on hand for flares and travel!
We recognize that any dietary modification, and especially an elemental diet, presents a challenge. We're glad that you were able to find community and support online to assure you that your difficulties with diarrhea and energy fluctuations were normal. We are working on providing additional resources on our website to cover this as you've suggested, including our newly launched webinar 'Beginning the Elemental Diet: Your Questions Answered.'
Thank you again for taking the time to share your story with us. As a patient-founded company, stories like yours are what drive us.

Hi. I am using mBiota as a nutrition supplement. I have very severe IBS and was/am struggling to get the required amount of protein and nutrition in my system. I recently started having mBiota to help with the malnutrition. I have about 2 packets of mBiota everyday to get at least some protein. I am grateful for this great tasting whole nutrition formula. I enjoy eating it as a powder and wash it down with water. It is working well so far. Thank you for helping me heal. In gratitude.
After four years of struggling, I had a negative test for SIBO after completing the two week diet! Very thankful for this product!
Completing 14 days of biota elemental diet was far easier than I ever expected. I enjoyed the taste of both flavors, it was quick and easy to mix up and I enjoyed having two weeks of not wondering what I should eat. By the end of the two weeks I was practically IMO symptom-free, which is something I haven’t experienced in a long time. Needless to say I was so grateful. Unfortunately, within three weeks all of my symptoms returned as bad as if not worse as they were before.. i’m considering trying another 14 day round but honestly, I’m skeptical about anything working long term at this point
Hello Lucy! Thank you for sharing your experience with mBIOTA. We're glad to hear you enjoyed both flavors and that 2 weeks of mBIOTA helped clear your IMO symptoms. Unfortunately, recurrence of overgrowth can be high, but we have heard from our community that the best chance at extending your remission is to determine the underlying cause of overgrowth, as SIBO and IMO are secondary conditions. If you have not already done so, we highly recommend following up with your healthcare provider for assistance in determining and mitigating your underlying cause of IMO. We wish you the best of luck as you continue to work towards being IMO symptom-free, please let us know if there is anything we can do to be of assistance.

This completely delivers the nutrients your body needs to function and thrive .After my SIBO went away , I continue using this product DAILY because of my chronic GI dysfunction , due to many abdominal surgeries. My body has difficulty absorbing nutrients , but now that I have thinly - I don’t feel depleted what so ever ! Mbiota has truly changed my life . I’m obsessed! The flavor is next level amazing . I recommend this to anyone who is wanting to feel better. I love you Mbiota
I recently completed the mBIOTA diet after being diagnosed with gut dysbiosis, and the results were genuinely restorative for my system. The process was cleansing, giving my body space to reset and return to its original functioning.
By the end, I noticed significant shifts: my brain fog lifted, the daily bloating was gone, and overall inflammation reduced in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time.
I’m grateful for this protocol and the clarity it brought to my health. I may choose to do it again in the future as a reset. For now, I’m moving into the food re-integration phase and am looking forward to seeing how my system continues to respond.

I am a week in and my pain has stopped completely. I still have bloating and constipation, but the awful pain has ended. I have 2 more weeks left. The diet is very easy to follow. It does cause a lot of thirst.

I was worried about feeling hungry, but the shakes kept me satisfied. My energy levels even improved and I was able to continue my regular gym routine which I wasn't expecting!
After years of battling IBS, mBIOTA was a revelation. The orange flavor is surprisingly pleasant, and my bloating has significantly reduced. Highly recommend!
I really apprecaite that this diet is vegan. First few days were rough, but once I adjusted the rest was a breeze and I feel so much better.
The support from the mBIOTA team was exceptional! I was nervous about doing an elemental diet for the first time, but they were so great about answering all my questions. Really helped to reduce my anxiety about doing the diet and made the whole process so much easier.
mBIOTA didn’t just improve my symptoms, but it actually helped uncover the true root cause of my health issues. I initially used it to address my methane SIBO-related constipation, plus extreme bloating, and belching. After three weeks on mBiota, the constipation resolved completely, but the other symptoms still oddly persisted. This unexpected result was what actually helped my doctors look further to figure out that something else beyond dysbiosis was happening. Turns out that I have another issue that was causing the belching and distention to continue. Getting that clarity was a huge breakthrough, and I'm now receiving another targeted treatment that’s making a real difference. I’m incredibly grateful for the role mBIOTA played in this journey. It may not have been the final solution, but it was an essential step in getting there. Thank you to the team for the support!
I don't think I could fully commit to a compltely elemental diet for 2 weeks, so I've been using it to replace a meal or two a day most days. A few weeks into this I've actually noticed my symptoms reducing a bit! I know that it would probably help tremendously just to commit to the two weeks but doing it this way for now is giving me some improvement and just fits better with my lifestyle.
I was hesitant about the cost, but it's worth every penny. My quality of life has improved.
My doctor recommended mBIOTA, I was worried about the cost and was afraid I couldn't do it for 2 weeks, but I'm glad I tried it. It's been instrumental in managing my SIBO symptoms.
I've tried other elemental diets, but mBIOTA definitey is the best tasting. Bonus - it is fully elemental and doesn't contain stevia! Noticed improvements within a couple of days.
After trying various treatments, mBIOTA provided the relief I was desparate for. When nothing else works definiltey give this a try, it could be a differenve maker for you too!
The instructions were clear. The included water bottle for mixing/drinking was perfect. But, I preferred to blend elemental diet in blender with ice to make it more palatable. I used the water bottle when on the go. I've also tried other sample packets of other brands. The mBIOTA was definitely the best tasting one.
I apprecaite that the pouches are single serve so I can take them on the go. I brought my portable blender along with me and found it surprisingly easy to fit into my busy schedule. Didn't even miss food after the first day or two!
