Endometriosis Diet: Savoring Korean BBQ Without the Stress

Navigating Korean BBQ with endometriosis can feel like walking through a culinary minefield. Between inflammatory ingredients and unfamiliar dishes, dining out becomes stressful. But what if you could confidently enjoy sizzling plates without triggering symptoms? mm food transforms your dining experience with instant menu translation and AI-powered dietary filtering—making Korean BBQ both safe and satisfying.

Why Korean BBQ Poses Challenges

Endometriosis thrives on inflammation, and traditional Korean BBQ contains common triggers:

• Red meats: Beef and pork dominate menus but promote inflammation
• Soy-based sauces: Gochujang, doenjang, and soy sauce in marinades contain estrogen-like compounds
• Nightshades: Chili peppers (gochugaru) in kimchi and marinades increase inflammation
• Sugars: Hidden in bulgogi marinades and dipping sauces
• Gluten: Present in soy sauce and some noodle dishes
