Why it works
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Pork, cabbage and olive oil make a filling plate without grains, legumes, dairy or soy.
- Low-histamine: Fresh pork, cabbage, garlic, herbs and cooked apple make the pan sauce without stock, vinegar or citrus.
- Autoimmune protocol (AIP): Plantain crust, pork, cabbage, olive oil and fresh herbs keep grains, dairy, eggs and nightshades off the plate.
AIP check: watch for nightshade spices (paprika, chili, cayenne), seed spices (cumin, coriander seed), seed oils and hidden sugar. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
