Could someone please suggest where I could get a copy of a Chinese language card to take to a restaurant. If such a card is available on the web that would be great, but if not I'm prepared to purchase such a card. Thank you.

If all else fails, have you tried a local university or college?

Some proffessors/students can act as enterpreters.

I don't have one but also remember that Chinese restaurants are frequently run by Asians from other countries. They might not even be able to read a card in Chinese.

The book "Against the Grain" by Jax peters Lowell has restaurant cards in every language. If you can find a copy at the library, make a xerox copy of the chinese card.

You could go to Open Original Shared Link and create your own in two dialects of chinese. Have a chinese reader check it though!

Thank you, this information has been so helpful. My husband and I will be travelling to China sometime in the next year and a half to adopt and I have been very worried about spending 2 weeks there and staying well.

I got some very good - laminated cards from Triumph Dining. Think I first saw it on the celiac updates site. They are abut $10 for a set of 5 or 6. Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and American - maybe one more. In English on one side and the other language on the other. There is also a Triumph Dining Guide with restaurants arranged by states and then menus from chain restaurants with gluten free items. Have used it twice in two weeks with much success.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
