Are Indian recipes safe for people with IBS?

Indian food can be very IBS-friendly when it is adjusted the right way. Caloriematterss reduces high-FODMAP triggers, avoids heavy onion and garlic bases, limits deep frying, and uses gentle spices and cooking methods. Common swaps include using the green tops of spring onion instead of onion and garlic-infused oil instead of garlic. Individual tolerance varies, so anyone with a medical condition should consult a qualified healthcare professional.

How are Caloriematterss recipes made low-FODMAP?

A low-FODMAP approach limits certain fermentable carbohydrates that trigger bloating, gas and discomfort in people with IBS. Caloriematterss recipes are built to be low-FODMAP where possible by choosing gut-friendly vegetables, portioning trigger ingredients carefully, and swapping high-FODMAP items for gentler alternatives, so the food stays flavourful without the gut ache.

Are the 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 enough protein without triggering a sensitive stomach.

Who creates the recipes on Caloriematterss?

She rebuilds Indian food to be low-FODMAP, high-protein and gentle on the gut, and every recipe is tested in her own kitchen before it is published.
