Navigating SIBO-Friendly Peruvian Dishes: Your Guide to Safe Dining with MM Food

Peruvian cuisine is a vibrant fusion of flavors, but for those managing Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), dining out can feel overwhelming. With MM Food’s AI-powered menu analysis, you can confidently enjoy Peru’s culinary treasures while staying true to your dietary needs.

SIBO-Safe Staples in Peruvian Cuisine

Peruvian dishes often feature ingredients that align with SIBO-friendly diets:

• Grilled meats (lomo saltado without onions)
• Fresh seafood (ceviche with lime-marinated fish, avoiding garlic/onion)
• Quinoa-based dishes (nutritious and low-FODMAP)
• Roasted vegetables like zucchini or carrots

Common Triggers to Avoid

Be cautious of:

• Garlic and onions (ubiquitous in sauces like ají)
• Legumes (often in stews like carapulcra)
• High-FODMAP vegetables (corn, mushrooms)
• Creamy sauces (may contain lactose)

How MM Food Simplifies Your Experience

1. Translate menus instantly to identify safe ingredients
2. Filter dishes using pre-set SIBO guidelines or custom restrictions
3. Get AI-powered suggestions for modified orders (e.g., "no ají amarillo sauce")

Pro Tip: Use MM Food’s in-app scan feature to decode complex menu terms like "adobo" (often garlic-heavy) or "tacu tacu" (contains beans).

Chef-Approved Swaps
