About Low FODMAP

FODMAP is an acronym for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. These are short-chain carbohydrates found in many foods and food additives that can be hard for some people to digest.

The low FODMAP diet is specifically designed to help patients understand what their bodies can and cannot tolerate. No two individuals will have the same experience. At Epicured we recommend our clients adhere to a low FODMAP diet with the supervision of a clinician. 

It is clinically recommended for people with IBS, Crohn's, Colitis, and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders to help manage symptoms.

You can learn more about the low FODMAP diet here.

Epicured is a healthcare company dedicated to nutrition intervention as a means to address chronic disease. Our first entree into therapeutic nutrition is the low FODMAP diet. Our medically tailored menu is designed in collaboration with clinicians from across the Untied States including the extraordinary team at Mt. Sinai and our award-winning chefs. 

We ensure all of our menus are created to the standards published by Monash University and FODMAP Friendly. A final review is completed by one of the members of our Partners In Health community.

There are many wonderful resources out there.

If you're trying a low FODMAP diet for the first time, you should download the handy Monash University FODMAP app . You can also visit the FODMAP Friendly site.

Fiber is very important for maintaining gut health and bowel function even if you have IBS-D. There are different types of fiber, soluble, insoluble and prebiotic fiber. If you have IBS-D, eating foods with more soluble fiber can help bulk up the stool and improve bowel function. We recommend everyone to consult with their doctor and dietitian to find whats best for them. 

We understand that garlic and onion can be a factor for many issues but we have had amazing results with our infused oils which are included in many of our meals. 

Our signature garlic-infused oil and the low FODMAP diet

Our garlic-infused oil offers delicious flavor while still complying to the low FODMAP elimination diet guidelines. Many of our customers are grateful to be able to enjoy garlic flavor and not experience any digestive issues! Because FODMAPs are water-soluble, and water and oil do not mix (Science 101), adding garlic to oil to infuse the flavor  and then removing the garlic flesh will not allow the water-soluble fructans (a type of FODMAP) to leach into the oil. As always, before altering your diet or trying new foods, such as Epicured low FODMAP and gluten free meals, speak with your healthcare provider.  

As a reminder, the low FODMAP elimination diet is not a FODMAP-free diet. The goal of this science-based diet is to reduce the amount of FODMAPs to a level that provides symptomatic relief. Most low FODMAP grains, fruits, and vegetables have small amounts of FODMAPs but are allowed in specific portion levels to comply with the low FODMAP elimination diet guidelines.

To further assist, we also provide a IBD filter on the menu page that only displays menu items that have a much lower chance of further affecting stomach issues and are easier to digest. We have identified certain entrees, side dishes and beverages that may be easier to digest due to their softer textures and lighter ingredients.

We also recommend speaking with your nutritionist if you want to be sure as we value your health above all. 

Please note: these are only suggestions as individuals tolerate ingredients differently. These guidelines should help you navigate the menu when your symptoms increase.

The Epicured Elimination Program

Variety is an important part of your elimination phase. Each diet (omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan) includes a menu cycle. The cycle weeks are predetermined and listed on each diet page. Your first shipment will align with the cycle shipping week. Everyone receives the same menu during each cycle week.

  • Omnivore 4 week cycles - each week for 4 consecutive weeks you receive a different bundle configuration. This 4 week cycle repeats after the 4th week.
  • Pescatarian 4 week cycles - each week for 4 consecutive weeks you receive a different bundle configuration. This 4 week cycle repeats after the 4th week.
  • Vegetarian 2 week cycles - each week for 2 consecutive weeks you receive a different bundle configuration. This 2 week cycle repeats after the 2nd week.
  • Vegan 2 week cycles - each week for 2 consecutive weeks you receive a different bundle configuration. This 2 week cycle repeats after the 2nd week.

At this time we are unable to substitute individual items within a cycle. If you have a food allergy we can switch you to a different diet and cycle. For instance, if you are allergic to shellfish. you may want to switch out a Pescatarian cycle that includes shellfish with a Vegetarian cycle that does NOT include shellfish. Please let us know if you need to swap out a cycle by 1PM ET on Fridays.

Each week of your program you will receive a confirmation email & SMS message that your meals are in the queue to be made and delivered on time. You cannot opt-out of this notification.

Shipping is FREE for all program participants. Your program boxes will arrive on the day of the week you select at checkout. You will receive confirmation of your shipping window. The window will be the same every week for the same address.

Cycle ship weeks are posted on the landing page for each diet.

Our Meals And Menu

Our food comes ready to eat. In some cases you will need to reheat items. The instructions are included on each item.

Our food arrives freshly prepared, chilled, and ready-to-eat or heat. We do not ship frozen food.

We deliver our food chilled for 3 important reasons:

  • It helps maximize freshness.
  • It provides greater control over how and when your food is brought up to serving temperature. Nothing needs to sit in a warming container getting soggy on its way to you.
  • We want you to decide when to enjoy your food. You can heat it up as soon as it's delivered or have it a few days later. If your plans change, you can just put meals in the fridge for later. From time to time ice packs appear to be melted, if your order arrives within 24 hours of the scheduled deliver date it is safe to eat. You can always call or email with any questions.

Our current menu is specifically designed for a low FODMAP elimination phase diet. It is recommended that a low FODMAP diet be adhered to under the guidance of a clinician for 2 to 8 weeks. 

Some items are seasonal. We add and subtract meals each month in order to take full advantage of fresh ingredients. Some fan favorites will stay on year-round so be sure to let us know what you love!

Many of our customers do that! Our soups and lasagnas freeze beautifully, as do some of our saucier dishes like our tikka masala. Please navigate to the menu on our site and select the Freezer Friendly filter. The filter selections are located on the left hand side of the menu.

Our menu is carefully curated to adhere to a low FODMAP elimination phase diet. We do not customize menu items. Be sure to check out all of our great built-in variations to accommodate a wide range of diets from vegan - to nut free - to dairy free.

As a reminder a low FODMAP elimination phase diet is ALWAYS gluten free.

Our meals can last in your refrigerator for 3 - 5 days. Each dish is individually labeled with our recommended ""enjoy by"" date. Freezing meals will, of course, increase the longevity of their shelf life.

 

 

Every entree we sell is intended to be a full meal. Many come with sides such as wild rice, mixed greens, or our wonderful carrot purée.

Some components of the dish, like dressings, sauces, cheeses, and rice, come separately packaged, but are clearly marked.

We also provide a small plates option so you can create your own meal by mix and matching our sides and our signature entrees.

You can filter our menu or use our traditional search tool. The filter is located on the left hand side of the menu.

Garlic-infused oil and the low FODMAP diet

Our garlic-infused olive oil offers delicious flavor while still complying to the low FODMAP elimination diet guidelines. Many of our customers are grateful to be able to enjoy garlic flavor and not experience any digestive issues! Because FODMAPs are water-soluble, and water and oil do not mix (Science 101), adding garlic to oil to infuse the flavor  and then removing the garlic flesh will not allow the water-soluble fructans (a type of FODMAP) to leach into the oil. As always, before altering your diet or trying new foods, such as Epicured low FODMAP and gluten free meals, speak with your healthcare provider.  

As a reminder, the low FODMAP elimination diet is not a FODMAP-free diet. The goal of this science-based diet is to reduce the amount of FODMAPs to a level that provides symptomatic relief. Most low FODMAP grains, fruits, and vegetables have small amounts of FODMAPs but are allowed in specific portion levels to comply with the low FODMAP elimination diet guidelines.

 

Are there any meals prepared without garlic-infused oil? 

We do understand that garlic infused oil may still be a concern for some of you when navigating your own dietary modifications and our menu sections. If garlic-infused oil contributes to symptoms, this is likely related to another type of food sensitivity and not a FODMAP intolerance issue. Please discuss any food intolerance symptoms you experience with your physician for proper guidance.

Stovetop Instructions: 
For soups: simply put your soup into a pot and cover with a lid and slowly reheat over medium, stirring occasionally until it reaches your desired temp. If you'd like to thin out the soup, you can add water, broth, or a little oil.

For saucy dishes like the curry and tikka masala: add the dish to a small saucepan with a tiny splash of oil in the bottom and reheat over medium until hot, stirring regularly.

For the side components of rice, add to a small pot with a splash or so of water and/or oil, cover, and heat over medium.

For the other entrees like the cod, veggie sides, meatballs, bolognese: add a splash of oil to a pan, cover, and heat on low for a few minutes, stirring or turning regularly.

Oven Instructions: 
Our mac & cheese entree and our frittatas reheat beautifully in the oven and come in oven-safe packaging. Simply preheat the oven to 350 and bake for 15 minutes.

Microwave Instructions: 
We have two types of packaging that is microwavable: the clear plastic soup container and the black entree tray, though the lids should not be microwaved.

All other items requiring reheating should be transferred into your own microwave-safe plate or bowl and covered with a damp paper towel or cloth to preserve moisture and prevent splatters.

Microwave entrees for about 1 minute on high, and then in 30 second intervals until warm, stirring between intervals.

Packaging

We package our meals in Polypropylene (PP) plastic containers. Our PP plastic materials are all recyclable, reusable and dishwasher safe. All Epicured boxes are recyclable. The ice packs are made of a 100% nontoxic and waterproof gel and #4 plastics. The liners are made from PET plastic and are recyclable.

Our ice packs are filled with a gel that is non-toxic and water soluble (but still not meant for human consumption). The manufacturer's recommendation is to put the entire ice pack in the trash. If you wish to recycle, we suggest cutting open the gel pack, squeezing the gel into your regular trash, and recycling the #4 plastic.

The ice packs are also reusable. You can keep them in your freezer for future use. Many organizations will also accept them as a donation. These include local rescue missions and boy scout & girl scout clubs.

Yes, all of our entree packaging is freezer safe.

We package our entrees, bowls, and salads in Polypropylene (PP) plastic containers. Polypropylene is microwaveable (both top & bottom), freezer-safe, and recyclable.

We deliver your meals in boxes lined with insulation made of mixed plastics combined with ice packs to ensure the meals are maintained at the correct temperature throughout the trip and it can be recycled at centers that accept recyclable #7 plastics. Inside the liner, we include between 1 - 3 non-toxic ice packs.

Clinical Relationships

We always recommend undertaking a low FODMAP diet with the supervision and ongoing advice of a clinician. Epicured has a vast network, Epicured's Partners In Health. We can connect you to an accredited provider.

Epicured collaboratively works with physicians and registered dietitians (RD). While our recipes have been reviewed and approved by RDs to be in accordance with the low FODMAP guidelines, this is not a substitute for medical advice from your physician. It is always advisable to consult with your clinicians before starting a new program, particularly if you have a medical condition.

Epicured is partnered with a number of top physicians and registered dietitians across the country. Our “Partners in Health” network is a one-of-a-kind community of clinicians who believe that great food is essential to healing. It is with their help and guidance that we are uniquely well-suited to accommodate a variety of gastroenterological conditions.

Complying with Diets and Restrictions

Our current nutritional therapeutic line is low FODMAP. We will be launching new medically tailored menus in the coming months.
