High FODMAP
Red Curry Paste
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Red curry paste blends dried chilies, garlic, shallots, and spices into a concentrated and aromatic base. Garlic and shallots contribute highly concentrated fructans that remain problematic even after blending and preservation. Commercial jars frequently add onion powder, wheat thickeners, or sugar to standardize heat levels and extend shelf life. Those managing IBS should verify that no high-FODMAP additives were introduced during bottling. Using small amounts and verifying simple ingredients ensures predictable tolerance.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Choose brands that explicitly state they are garlic-free and onion-free, and simmer paste thoroughly in coconut milk to dilute intensity. Avoid commercial varieties that list sugar or wheat near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Store opened containers in the refrigerator with a thin oil layer on top to preserve vibrant red color.
