A card to show in a restaurant
Cards in German, English and Spanish that explain in a few lines what gluten-free means for a kitchen. Short enough to be passed from the table on to the cooks.
For myself
Show the card when you order, not when the food is already on the table.
German
Ich habe Zöliakie
Ich darf kein Gluten essen, auch keine Spuren. Gluten steckt in Weizen, Dinkel, Roggen, Gerste und in normalem Hafer.
Bitte achten Sie darauf:
- keine Zutaten mit Mehl, Paniermehl, Sojasoße oder Malz
- saubere Bretter, Messer, Pfannen und Töpfe
- keine Fritteuse, in der auch Paniertes frittiert wird
- frisches Wasser für Nudeln
Vielen Dank!
English
I have coeliac disease
I cannot eat any gluten, not even traces. Gluten is found in wheat, spelt, rye, barley and regular oats.
Please make sure there is:
- no flour, breadcrumbs, soy sauce or malt in the dish
- a clean board, knife, pan and pot
- no fryer that is also used for breaded food
- fresh water for pasta
Thank you!
Spanish, for Spain
Tengo celiaquía
No puedo comer gluten, ni siquiera trazas. El gluten está en el trigo, la espelta, el centeno, la cebada y la avena convencional.
Por favor:
- sin harina, pan rallado, salsa de soja ni malta en el plato
- utensilios limpios: tabla, cuchillo, sartén y cazo
- nada frito en el mismo aceite que rebozados o empanados
- pasta cocida en agua nueva, no en la de la pasta normal
¡Muchas gracias!
For my child
For hosts, nursery staff, teachers or the staff of a holiday centre. It also names the things nobody thinks of while cooking, such as play dough made from wheat flour.

Nuestro hijo o hija tiene celiaquía

- nada de salsas con harina ni salsa de soja

¡Muchas gracias!
Print it or take a photo
Choose “Print” in your browser menu, or “Share” on a phone. The paper then carries the cards alone, three to a sheet, without the header and without this text, so you can cut them out and keep one in your wallet. For a phone, a screenshot is enough: the card is then with you even without a signal.
What the card can and cannot do
- It shortens the conversation, it does not replace it. Ask how the kitchen works anyway.
- Ask for the card to be passed on to the kitchen. That is where the cooking happens, not at the table.
- Abroad, the language of the country is what counts. English is understood in most cities, in small places not always.
- If you get a “should be fine” or a “we will be careful”, ask again. Neither is an answer.
