On the plate: Plain flaked fish, a warm corn tortilla and avocado slices, slaw and sauce left off.

Why it works
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Corn tortillas and fresh cod with cumin and lime — no soy or seaweed anywhere in it.
- Gluten-free: Corn tortillas hold these tacos instead of flour, so the whole plate stays gluten-free.
- Anti-inflammatory: Roasted fish, cabbage, avocado and olive oil, seasoned with lime and spices instead of sugar.
- Kid (4–12): A build-your-own taco with mild flaked fish and soft avocado to fold and eat by hand.
- Toddler (1–3): Soft flaked fish, creamy avocado and tortilla strips, all easy little hands can pick up.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
