Travel/language Cards?

I'm going to Northern Europe this summer. I don't speak any of the languages in the countries I'm visiting, so I'm going to need help. Aren't there some cards with different translations of "I can't eat wheat"? I really need to find something like that.

I should add that many of the countries I'm visiting are in the "celiac zone" like Sweden. I have no doubt that they will understand exactly what my problem is. I'm more worried about countries like Russia, especially because I can't decipher the different alphabet.

What I've done if I'm going abroad is google that country's celiac society website. (Google's translation program is pretty good, if you need language help) Then I send an e-mail to that group (in English) detailing where I'm planning to visit. So far I've been lucky that the people on the other hand speak a bit of English, and they usually just e-mail me back a list of gluten-free restaurants or grocery stores.

Good luck!

      I was also told I had IBS years ago like literally it's just IBS the docter said I've had lots of  the symptoms you say there plus much more but I'm convinced it's not just IBS although I feel very sorry for people who get told this too because IBS is a real problem for people too it's awfull how much ignorance is around in the world these days from docters try the elimination diet like I did gluten free I also did lactose because it was still bothering me I found a real big change I've read some members here say  it can be quite hard to get a diagnosis and help but there is plenty of self help here it's not wrong to self diagnose if you find that it truly is a Life changer be true to your own needs and ask people already suffering for advise it's about your quality of life now and for future this us were I'm heading if I have no luck with docters I will have luck helping myself 🤗

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:
