Navigating EoE at Greek Tavernas: A Safe Dining Strategy

Dining at Greek tavernas becomes challenging for those managing Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). Vibrant dishes like moussaka and spanakopita often hide dairy, wheat, and other triggers that can cause painful flare-ups. Proactively managing your diet with mm food turns worry into confidence—allowing you to savor Greece’s legendary hospitality safely.

Why Greek Cuisine Poses Unique EoE Risks

Traditional Greek dishes rely heavily on common EoE triggers:

• Dairy: Feta, tzatziki, and baked goods contain milk proteins
• Wheat: Phyllo dough, pita bread, and most dips
• Seeds/Nuts: Sesame-crusted breads, pine nut fillings
• Cross-Contamination: Shared grills and olive oil for meats/seafood

Without clear ingredient transparency, accidental exposure is common—but preventable.
