Is there any kind of small card that you can give to your server w/ a basic description of the problem (celiac disease) and how the food needs to be prepared (plain, no marinades, no contact w/ wheat, gluten products, or a surface where wheat, gluten had been ect) I am finding the servers mean well but like the game of telephone information is not presented in its original form! My friend said she knew someone who had something like this that she handed to the server which was shown in the kitchen.

Any ideas? It is for my son which if he is w/ friends or another family at a restuarant he can pass it off himself. Peace of mind for me I guess!! lol

Yes, there is. Triumph Dining Card are a series of laminated cards in several different languages. They are running a promotion currently. You can find it at www.triumphdining.com.

I have used mine frequently and I highly recommend them.

PM me and I will send you their promotional information.

I second the endorsement for Triumph. They hold up well, are translated into a bunch of different languages, and I've had a great response to them. Just used one this weekend, in fact.

Oops now I see MommaGoose already answered.

But what the heck, I'll copy here what Laura (Happygirl) posted elsewhere for the promo.

Another (free) option is to go to www.foodallergybuddy.com. You can customize your information and print out a whole page of food allergy alert cards. This is sponsored by the National Restaurant Association. I have used this with success when I can tell my server isn't familiar with food allergies or Celiac issues.

I bought the inexpensive laminating covers at Staples so that my card always comes back to me after the chef has been made aware.

Hope this helps!

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
