Italy Dining with Hartnup Disease: Your Safe and Savory Guide
Traveling to Italy with Hartnup Disease shouldn't mean missing out on la dolce vita! Hartnup Disease requires careful dietary management including low-protein intake and avoiding specific amino acids like tryptophan. Italian cuisine, while delicious, presents challenges with its protein-rich ingredients like cheeses, cured meats, legumes, and complex sauces. Language barriers can make communicating these needs difficult – but mm food is your ideal dining companion.
