Navigating Sri Lankan Cuisine on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)

Traveling with autoimmune dietary restrictions can feel daunting, especially in a country like Sri Lanka, where bold spices and diverse ingredients define the culinary landscape. With MM Food’s innovative app, you can savor authentic Sri Lankan dishes confidently while adhering to your Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) lifestyle. Here’s how:

Understanding AIP-Friendly Sri Lankan Cuisine

Sri Lankan dishes often feature coconut, turmeric, and fresh herbs—ingredients that align well with AIP guidelines. However, common triggers like nightshades (chili, tomatoes), legumes, and dairy may hide in curries and side dishes. Traditional dishes like jackfruit curry (without chili) or coconut sambal (without lime or additives) can be safe with adjustments.
