For the moments when a quick exchange isn't enough — when you're ordering a full meal, navigating a traditional Portuguese kitchen, or trying to understand exactly what's in a dish.
This laminated tri-fold card is designed for the full dining conversation in Portugal. It covers the Portuguese 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.
Portugal is in many ways one of Europe's more naturally gluten-friendly cuisines — grilled fish, arroz, olive oil, and fresh seafood form the backbone of the table. But bacalhau preparations vary widely, bread arrives automatically at every meal, and pastéis are everywhere. Knowing what to ask — and how to ask it — makes the difference. This card gives you that language.
Compact enough for a wallet. Laminated for durability. Folds flat and travels well.
Includes:
Portuguese 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 Portuguese cuisine
Single card. Tri-fold, laminated. Wallet size.
Pairs well with the Portuguese 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 Portugal Celiac Card Set.
