Navigating Menus with TMAU: Your Stress-Free Dining Guide

Traveling with Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) brings unique dining challenges. Unfamiliar menus, hidden ingredients, and language barriers can turn meals into minefields. Discover how technology empowers you to savor global cuisine without compromise.

Why Restaurant Dining Feels Risky with TMAU

Common triggers like choline-rich foods (eggs, organ meats), fish, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables often hide in sauces, broths, or prep methods. Add foreign languages or ambiguous menu descriptions, and ordering becomes a high-stakes guessing game.
