Managing TMAU at Seafood Restaurants: A Diner's Guide
Dining out with Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) presents unique challenges, especially at seafood restaurants where fish and shellfish—common TMAU triggers—dominate menus. Avoiding hidden sources of trimethylamine (TMA) like fish sauces, broths, or marinades requires vigilance. Fortunately, mm food empowers you to dine confidently with two key features:
How mm food Simplifies Seafood Dining with TMAU
- Real-Time Menu Translation
Photograph any menu to instantly translate ingredients and dish descriptions into your native language, eliminating confusion from foreign terms or regional preparations that might conceal high-TMA ingredients. - Personalized TMAU Safety Checks
Set your TMAU dietary restrictions (e.g., avoid seafood derivatives, choline-rich foods) in the app. Our AI scans menu items and highlights:
- Safe dishes with minimal TMA precursors
- Hidden risks like fish-based stocks or sauces
- Customizable alternatives based on your sensitivity level
Practical Tips for Seafood Restaurants
- Always ask about broths, dressings, and cooking oils—common hidden triggers
