Croatian coeliac dietary explanation

Croatian

Imam celijakiju te zbog medicinskih razloga ne smijem jesti gluten.

To uključuje hranu sa pšenicom, ječmom, zobi, raži, pirom, kamutom I proizvode poput brašna, griza, krušnih mrvica, kruha, peciva, tjestenine, knedle, kolača, oblatna I slično.

Imate li jela na vašem meniju koja ne sadrže gluten ili možete li pripremiti jedno bez gore navedenih sastojaka?

Također, važno je da pazite na kontaminaciju u kuhinji (miješanje glutenske i bez-glutenske hrane) te vas zato molim da pripremate hranu na čistoj podlozi i s čistim priborom, bez dodira s glutenskim mrvicama.

U slučaju nedoumice, molim vas obratite se dotičnoj osobi. Hvala vam!

English

I am suffering from coeliac disease and therefore because of medical reasons I am not allowed to eat any foods which contain gluten-containing cereals or products of these.

This means:

No products from wheat, rye, barley, spelt, kamut and oats as well as products of these like flour, semolina, breadcrumbs, bread, pastry, noodles, dumplings, sauces, cakes, wafers etc.

Are there any dishes on your menu which are suitable for me or can you prepare a meal without above mentioned foods e.g. to use maizestarch or potatoflour for the sauce and to prepare the meat, the fish or vegetables without flour or breadcrumbs?

It is also important to use clean kitchen equipment and prepare food in a clean area in the kitchen.

In doubt, please consult the person concerned. Thank you!
