gluten-free Ingredients In German?

Hi all,

I'm traveling to Germany for my sister's wedding in September, and we're having difficulty with the catering company. They want a complete list of the ingredients that I can not have (fortunately gluten-free only), and said the restaurant cards didn't have 'enough information' as to the ingredients they should avoid.

I've asked for just a 'plain' meal, with no sauce, coating, spices or either grilled fish or chicken with steamed veggies and rice, but they won't cook it in the kitchen without a list of ingredients.

Can anyone here help? I'm looking for a list of commonly used ingredients that are either already in German or that we can translate - are there any common spices / ingredients that contains gluten but not clearly labeled?

We contacted the German Coeliac Society and they told my sister she has to pay 50 Euros to become a member to get the list.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

Nadia

You mentioned that you tried the dining cards and they were not adequate for your needs. I can't help with that. I have listed a link for some that may need some:

They wouldn't even help with a statement like this?

Why don't you go the other way? List what you *can* eat and how it should be prepared, those ingredients only, in a clean pan.

That may make it easier on both sides.

Just as in the US, response to celiac varies...last fall i was at a Christmas Market and the man in front of my husband ordered the roast pork for his son 'glutenfrei', and the person knew exactly what to do.

That sounds strange that they won't cook what you request without a list of ingredients. If you have grilled fish or chicken with vegetables and rice than the ingredients are there - chicken, rice, potatoes etc. What more do they need? I think the brand Schar is German which makes great gluten free food. Maybe if you look at their website they might have some ingredients that can use for your meal.

I am new to Celiac's disease and to this forum. We are off to Germany & Austria in 2 weeks. Where would I find "dining cards" that you mention.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

This is from the website of the German celiac society (Open Original Shared Link):

Request for the Chef

When going to a restaurant you should (like almost everythere in the world) talk to the staff.

The waiter can bring the following text to the chef in the kitchen:

German

      Where would I locate the reference ranges?  I'll take a look at my results again....

      Scott,   Can you look at my post and tell me if my numbers are off the chart!?  I won't be able to see my Gastro for another 7 weeks and I am freaking out at the numbers. JustGemi

      Welcome to the forum!  Could you also post the reference ranges for your test results, unfortunately each lab has a different range, so there is no way to interpret your results without that info.

      The number of genes associated with celiac disease is more than two, but there are two main genes that are commonly tested for celiac disease susceptibility. These genes are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. HLA-DQ2: The majority of individuals with celiac disease (about 90-95%) carry the HLA-DQ2 gene. HLA-DQ8: Around 5-10% of individuals with celiac disease have the HLA-DQ8 gene. Other Genes: While HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 are the primary genes associated with celiac disease, having these genes doesn't guarantee that someone will develop celiac disease. Additionally, a small percentage of individuals with celiac disease don't have either of these genes. This suggests that other genetic factors may also play a role, though they are less common. This article has more information about the genes associated with celiac disease:

      The whole point of the gluten-free diet is to send the disease into remission. For some this process means strong reactions when exposed to even trace amounts of gluten, while for others it seems they have little to no reactions when exposed to larger amounts of gluten. In either case, research has shown that repeated gluten exposure will trigger the autoimmune reaction that leads to inflammation and various damage, as well as to possible additional autoimmune diseases.
