For the moments when a quick exchange isn't enough — when you're ordering a full meal, navigating a traditional Croatian kitchen, or trying to understand exactly what's in a dish.
This laminated tri-fold card is designed for the full dining conversation in Croatia. It covers the Croatian foods most likely to contain hidden gluten, the questions worth asking about preparation and cross-contamination, and the specific phrasing that signals to kitchen staff that this is a medical need — not a preference.
Croatia sits at a culinary crossroads — the Dalmatian coast brings Mediterranean simplicity, while the inland regions lean toward Central European dishes with heavier wheat use. Strukli, breaded meats, and flour-thickened stews are common away from the coast, and celiac awareness outside of major tourist areas can be limited. Arriving with the right language makes a meaningful difference. This card gives you that preparation.
Compact enough for a wallet. Laminated for durability. Folds flat and travels well.
Includes:
Croatian foods that commonly contain hidden gluten
Cross-contamination and preparation questions
Key phrases for communicating celiac disease vs. gluten sensitivity
Safe and unsafe ingredient reference for Croatian cuisine
Single card. Tri-fold, laminated. Wallet size.
Pairs well with the Croatian Celiac Café Card — keep the translation card in your wallet for sit-down meals, and hand off a café card at quick stops. Available together in the Croatia Celiac Card Set.
