Navigating Korean BBQ with Endometriosis: How the MM Food App Makes It Easy and Safe

Dining out with endometriosis can feel overwhelming, especially at Korean BBQ restaurants where rich marinades, processed ingredients, and hidden allergens often lurk. But with the MM Food app, you can enjoy a stress-free experience while sticking to your dietary needs. Here’s how the app helps you savor Korean BBQ safely:

Translating Menus for Clarity

Korean BBQ menus are packed with flavor-packed dishes, but language barriers can make it hard to identify triggers like gluten, soy, or high-FODMAP ingredients. The MM Food app instantly translates menu items into your native language, clarifying ingredients and preparation methods so you know exactly what you’re ordering.

Custom Dietary Filtering

Set your endometriosis-specific restrictions (e.g., avoiding red meat, excess sodium, or inflammatory oils) in the app. The AI then scans the menu and highlights safe options, such as:

• Unmarinated Meats: Opt for sogogi gui (plain grilled beef) or dwaeji gogi (pork) if tolerated.
• Veggie-Centric Sides: Skip soy-heavy kongnamul (bean sprouts) and choose mu saengchae (radish salad) or sigeumchi namul (spinach) instead.
• Broth-Based Soups: Avoid doenjang (soybean paste) and opt for gomtang (beef bone broth) or miyeok guk (seaweed soup).

Pro Tips for a Flare-Free Feast

• Use the app to check marinades for added sugars or MSG.
• Request grilled veggies without soy-based sauces.
• Share your dietary needs with staff using the app’s translation feature.

With MM Food, you can enjoy Korean BBQ with confidence, knowing your choices align with your endometriosis management plan.
