Navigating the AIP Diet Safely Through Middle Eastern Mezze with AI Assistance

Middle Eastern mezze offers a vibrant tapestry of flavors, from creamy hummus to fragrant stuffed grape leaves. But for those on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet—a therapeutic elimination diet for managing autoimmune conditions—navigating these shared plates can be daunting. Hidden ingredients like wheat, legumes, nightshades, and dairy often lurk in traditional recipes. The mm food app simplifies this challenge by combining AI-powered menu translation and real-time dietary analysis to ensure safe, stress-free dining.

Common AIP Pitfalls in Mezze

Many mezze staples conflict with AIP guidelines:

• Hummus: Typically contains chickpeas (legumes)
• Baba ghanoush: Includes eggplant (a nightshade)
• Kibbeh: Often made with bulgur wheat
• Labneh: A dairy-based yogurt cheese

How mm Food App Enhances Safety

1. Instant Menu Translation: Overcome language barriers by converting Arabic or Turkish menu items into your native language.
2. AI-Powered Filtering: Input your AIP restrictions, and the app flags non-compliant dishes while highlighting safe options like:
   • Grilled lamb skewers (check for nightshade-free seasoning)
   • Zucchini fritters (if grain/legume-free)
   • Olive-based salads
3. Custom Alerts: Add personal restrictions (e.g., garlic avoidance) for tailored results.

Pro Tips for Mezze Lovers

• Use the app’s ‘Ask Kitchen’ feature to request ingredient modifications
• Prioritize simple grilled meats and roasted vegetables
• Double-check shared kitchen tools to prevent cross-contact

With mm food, savor the communal joy of mezze while staying true to your healing journey.
