High FODMAP
Jungle Curry
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Jungle curry is a fiery and broth-based Thai preparation that notably skips the heavy coconut milk in favor of water or stock. Despite the lighter liquid base, traditional recipes still depend heavily on garlic, shallots, and fresh chili pastes for heat and depth. The absence of dairy or coconut milk does not automatically make it safe for IBS management, as the allium content remains high. Commercially sold or restaurant-prepared bowls rarely dilute these triggers enough for comfortable digestion.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The broth base may seem lighter, but the concentrated paste still delivers a heavy fructan load to sensitive systems. Substituting the traditional paste with a garlic-infused oil and low-FODMAP spice blend can preserve the heat without the digestive distress. Portion size matters little when the foundational aromatics exceed tolerance thresholds. Consider requesting a custom simmered broth if dining out or making a modified version at home.
