SIBO-Safe Dining at Greek Tavernas: Your Stress-Free Guide
Navigating restaurant menus with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) can feel daunting, especially in cuisine-rich settings like Greek tavernas. Traditional dishes often feature garlic, onions, and legumes—common triggers that turn a joyful meal into discomfort. Thankfully, with the mm food app, you can decode menus confidently, ensuring a delicious and safe dining experience.
How mm food Simplifies Your SIBO Dining
Set your SIBO restrictions in the app (choose from pre-set options like low-FODMAP or add custom triggers). Snap a photo of a Greek menu: mm food instantly translates it to your language and highlights dishes aligned with your needs. AI cross-references ingredients, flagging hidden risks like wheat in sauces or high-lactose cheeses.
SIBO-Safe Greek Menu Choices
Enjoy These Taverna Staples (When Prepared Simply):
- Grilled Proteins: Lamb chops, chicken souvlaki (request no marinade). Skip creamy sauces.
- Fresh Seafood: Grilled octopus or fish (avoid breading). Pair with lemon and olive oil.
- Vegetables: Simple grilled courgettes or peppers. Avoid dips like tzatziki (contains garlic).
- Salads: Greek salad without onions/feta (opt for olives and cucumber).
Common Triggers to Avoid:
- Garlic/onions (in dips, stews, marinades)
- Legumes (fasolada soup, gigantes beans)
- Wheat-based dishes (pita, pastitsio)
- High-lactose dairy (feta, creamy sauces)
Why Trust mm food?
Our AI analyzes preparation methods and hidden ingredients. Example: Moussaka typically contains béchamel sauce and eggplant (high-FODMAP when stacked)—mm food flags this and suggests alternatives like skewered meats.
