Some Foods make you sick, Create an Allergy Card

Simple ideas are often the best. For those of us with allergies to food items such as nuts, gluten, dairy or seafood there is a need to communicate what can make us sick when we eat out. I know it first hand from my years spent working in restaurants.

Created by a resident of Winnipeg (Canada) who happens to be allergic to fish, AllergyCards.com allows you to create a Card describing your main allergy on the front and then detail it on the back.

For common allergies there are ready made 'text templates' available on the site.

So if you or a loved one are affected by food allergies, create your card, print it and give it to your server who can then relay the information to the chef.
This way nothing gets lost in translation.

I am not allergic to any food thanks god.
