Dining with Altered Taste: How mm food Empowers Long COVID Survivors at Restaurants

For millions recovering from Long COVID, dining out presents unexpected challenges when favorite foods suddenly taste metallic, rotten, or utterly bland. Parosmia (distorted taste) and dysgeusia (altered perception) transform meals into sensory minefields. Navigating menus becomes stressful, especially since foods triggering aversions vary wildly between individuals.

mm food transforms this experience. Our AI-powered app allows you to create personalized dietary profiles reflecting your unique taste sensitivities. Set parameters like:

  • Avoiding specific textures (mushy, crunchy)
  • Skipping common trigger foods (meat, coffee, fried items)
  • Eliminating overpowering spices or aromas
  • Filtering complex dishes with multiple ingredients

Once your profile is set:

  1. Scan any menu: Point your camera at physical/digital menus
  2. Instant analysis: Our AI flags dishes containing your trigger ingredients
  3. Safe alternatives: Discover compatible meals based on ingredient patterns
  4. Language barrier?: Use real-time translation for international menus

Pro Tips for Long COVID Diners with mm food:

  • Set custom restrictions like "avoid umami-rich ingredients" or "mild flavors only"
  • Check preparation notes: Dishes labeled "mild," "grilled," or "steamed" often work best
  • Create multiple profiles for fluctuating symptoms (e.g., "High Sensitivity Days")
  • Pin safe dishes as favorites to streamline future orders

Reclaim the joy of eating out. With mm food, you skip the guesswork and discover genuinely enjoyable meals adapted to your evolving palate. Because taste changes shouldn't steal life's flavorful moments.
