Why it works
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Beef, rice, pear and olive oil keep soy, legumes, dairy and coconut out.
- Gluten-free: Rice and fresh ingredients keep wheat, barley and rye out.
- Low-histamine: Fresh beef, pear and browned onion build flavor without fermented sauce, vinegar, citrus or stock.
