- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Pork, vegetables, and rice noodles carry the dish without soy, legumes, or dairy.
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free rice noodles and water keep wheat and hidden gluten out.
- Low-histamine: Fresh pork, pear, ginger, garlic, and water make the sauce without vinegar or stock.
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.
