Glycine Intolerance: Your Safe Broth Guide for Global Dining

Dining out with glycine intolerance can feel like a culinary minefield, especially when broths hide in global dishes. These savory bases—found in ramen, pho, soups, and sauces—often contain glycine-rich animal bones and connective tissues that trigger symptoms. But with the right tools, you can savor meals worldwide with confidence.

Why Broths Pose Risks

Glycine naturally occurs in collagen from simmered bones, cartilage, and skin. While nourishing for many, those with intolerance can experience headaches, fatigue, or digestive distress. Danger zones include:

• Bone broths/stock (beef, chicken, fish)
• Dashi and miso soups
• Pho and ramen bases
• Stews and gravy
• Gelatin-based sauces
