Navigate Ethiopian Menus with Ease: SIBO-Safe Vegan Picks

Eating out with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) as a vegan can feel daunting—especially with complex cuisines like Ethiopian, where legumes and fibrous vegetables dominate. But with mm food, you can confidently enjoy injera-lined platters without the guesswork. Here's how our app transforms your dining experience:

Why Ethiopian Cuisine Needs Smart Navigation

Traditional Ethiopian vegan dishes often feature garlic, onions, lentils, and chickpeas—common SIBO triggers due to their high FODMAP content. While staples like misir wat (spiced lentils) or shiro (chickpea stew) are vegan, they may wreak havoc on sensitive guts.

How mm food Unlocks Safe Dining

1. Set Your Restrictions: Input "vegan" and "SIBO-safe" (or customize triggers like garlic/onions) in the app.
2. Scan or Upload Menus: Use our AI to translate Ethiopian dishes instantly and analyze ingredients.
3. Get Instant Alerts: See which meals meet your criteria, like:
   • Gomen (collard greens, skip if cooked with onions)
   • Tikil Gomen (cabbage, carrots – request oil-only preparation)
   • Fasolia (green beans with carrots, verify no garlic)
   • Plain injera (check for teff-only; avoid wheat blends)
4. Ask for Modifications: The app suggests safe swaps (e.g., "replace berbere spice blend with plain paprika").

Pro Tips for Ethiopian Dining

• Prioritize simply steamed or sautéed veggies.
• Confirm oils used: opt for olive or avocado oil over infused oils.
• Avoid legume-based sauces; request spices without onion/garlic.
