Is Thai green curry paste Low FODMAP?
Thai green curry paste is high FODMAP. It's best avoided during the elimination phase.
Serving thresholds
| Serving | FODMAP level | Data quality |
|---|---|---|
| 2 tbsp (30 g) | High | Class rule |
Thresholds are per sitting. FODMAP load stacks across a meal — two “low” servings of different foods can still add up.
Which FODMAPs are in thai green curry paste?
During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating thai green curry paste depends on your personal threshold for Fructans, not on the food itself.
Good to know
Same shallot-and-garlic base as red curry paste — fructans cross cutoff at typical cooking serves.
Where these numbers come from
- Derivation note: Green chili + shallot + garlic + lemongrass + galangal; shallot and garlic fructans above cutoff at standard 2-tbsp cooking serve for one curry portion.
- Peer-reviewed paper: Varney J et al. (2017) FODMAPs: food composition, defining cutoff values and international application. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 32(S1):53–61.
Phase derives serving thresholds from published research and food-composition data so every number is auditable.
