What is a low-FODMAP diet and how does it help IBS?

A low-FODMAP diet limits certain fermentable carbohydrates that can trigger bloating, gas and discomfort in people with IBS. Caloriematterss recipes are built to be low-FODMAP where possible, using gentle swaps like the green parts of spring onion instead of onion, and garlic-infused oil instead of garlic, so Indian food stays flavourful without the gut ache. Individual needs vary, so anyone with a medical condition should consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Are Caloriematterss recipes high in protein?

Yes. Caloriematterss focuses on high-protein Indian recipes, using ingredients like chicken, paneer, tofu, lentils, curd, eggs, seeds and nuts. Each recipe is designed to be filling and gut-friendly, so you get protein without triggering a sensitive stomach.

Can I eat Indian food if I have IBS?

Yes, with the right adjustments. Caloriematterss rebuilds classic Indian dishes to be IBS-friendly by reducing high-FODMAP triggers, avoiding deep frying and heavy onion-garlic bases, and using gentle spices and cooking methods. The result is familiar, home-style Indian food that is easier on the gut. For personal medical concerns, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

What makes Caloriematterss recipes gut-friendly?

Every recipe is designed with a sensitive gut in mind: low-FODMAP where possible, high in protein, no unnecessary deep frying, and smart ingredient swaps for common triggers. Recipes are tested first-hand by the founder, who lives with IBS.

Who is behind Caloriematterss?

Caloriematterss is run by Urmi, who lives with IBS and rebuilds Indian food to be gentle on the gut, low-FODMAP, high-protein and full of flavour. Every recipe is tested in her own kitchen first.
