Panang Curry and the low FODMAP diet
Panang curry is a rich and slightly sweet Thai dish made with red curry paste, coconut milk, peanuts, and various meats. The flavor foundation almost always includes substantial amounts of crushed garlic and shallots blended into the curry paste. Coconut milk itself is low in FODMAPs when consumed in typical servings, but the paste dictates the overall tolerance level. Many restaurant and jarred versions lack detailed breakdowns of their paste ingredients, making them risky for strict dietary management.

Portion size can change a FODMAP result. Treat this as the context for the range—not a personal tolerance guarantee.
What can change the result?
Curry pastes are notoriously concentrated sources of hidden fructans from garlic and shallots. You can safely enjoy this dish if it is prepared using a certified low-FODMAP paste made with garlic-infused oil and scallion greens. Serving size becomes irrelevant if the base paste contains large quantities of high-FODMAP aromatics. Always ask about the curry paste ingredients or prepare it at home with controlled portions.
