Shrimp Paste and the low FODMAP diet
Shrimp paste ferments ground shrimp and salt to create a concentrated umami seasoning base. Pure seafood extracts contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and pair safely with sensitive digestion. Commercial preparations occasionally add sugar, wheat starch, or caramel color to balance sharpness and extend shelf life. Those managing IBS benefit from checking labels for simplicity and measuring usage carefully. Selecting transparent brands ensures predictable tolerance without digestive complications.

What can change the result?
Dissolve shrimp paste thoroughly in warm broth and simmer with low-FODMAP vegetables to create a gentle and clear flavor base. Avoid commercial jars that list sugar or wheat derivatives near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Store in an airtight container in a cool pantry to prevent moisture clumping and preserve intensity.
