Gourmend: Nourishing Gastronomic Solutions

Welcome to the world of Gourmend; here we are passionate about making delicious, gourmet food accessible to everyone, especially those with a sensitive digestive system.

Our goal is to change the way people enjoy their meals by providing low-FODMAP foods that do not compromise on flavor or health because we believe that everyone deserves to savor the joy of cooking and eating without worrying about their stomach.

There are many people who struggle daily because of their sensitive stomachs and can’t enjoy the simple things in life. We know this because many of our customers shared their struggles with us –battling digestive issues and sacrificing their love of food because of their stomachs. That fueled our dedication to creating something that enables everyone to relish delicious food without fearing the outcome.

Meet the Founder

Gourmend’s founder, Ketan Vakil, is a passionate foodie who personally understands the challenges of living with digestive issues. Because he, too, struggled with perplexing stomach problems that took years of medical consultations and testing to diagnose. Eventually, he discovered that his discomfort was caused by an intolerance to foods high in FODMAPs (which are carbs that are difficult to digest for some people).

For Ketan, this diagnosis was both a relief and a new challenge. Growing up in a multicultural family in one of the world’s culinary capitals, he was accustomed to a rich and diverse diet. However, following a low-FODMAP diet meant giving up many of the ingredients he loved, like garlic, onions, honey, and legumes. As someone who cherished the art of cooking and the pleasure of eating, this was bad news.

Refusing to let his condition dictate his culinary life, Ketan embarked on a journey to create low-FODMAP ingredients that were high in flavor. He collaborated with experienced dietitians and organic farmers to find FODMAP-friendly alternatives that didn’t compromise taste. Through determination and invention, Ketan developed ingredients that ensured that he can enjoy his most favorite ingredients without hurting the stomach.

Recognizing that many others faced similar dietary challenges, Ketan founded Gourmend to share his flavorful, stomach-friendly creations with the world. Today, Gourmend stands as a testament to Ketan’s vision—a company dedicated to bringing cooking and flavor to those who have long been deprived of it.
