Navigating Barbadian Cuisine on the AIP Diet: Your Safety Guide

Bridgetown's aromas beckon – flying fish sizzling, pepper sauce lingering, waves crashing nearby. But for travelers on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet, Barbados' rich culinary traditions pose hidden challenges. Dishes bursting with flavor often hide non-compliant ingredients like legumes, nightshades, dairy, or grains. How can you savor the island’s famous Cou-Cou or Jug Jug without compromising your health? Enter mm food: your AI-powered ally for safe, stress-free dining.

Why AIP in Barbados Demands Extra Vigilance

Barbadian cuisine blends African, British, Indian, and Creole influences – resulting in complex spice blends and sauces rich in tomatoes (nightshades), peas and beans (legumes), or wheat-based thickeners. Even seemingly simple dishes like fishcakes may contain dairy or gluten. Dining out requires meticulous ingredient scrutiny.

AIP-Friendly Bajan Bites (With Caveats!)

While adaptations are often needed, some traditional dishes have potential:

• Grilled Flying Fish: Typically safe if plain-grilled (verify no pepper sauce/seasoning).
• Roasted Breadfruit: AIP-friendly starch alternative (ensure no soybean oil).
• Steamed Sea Moss Drink: Mineral-rich beverage (confirm no added dairy/sugar/alcohol).

Always Verify: Use mm food to cross-check preparation methods and request modifications like "no gravy" (often tomato-based) or "steamed in coconut oil."
