Travelling with coeliac disease can feel overwhelming. The excitement of exploring new countries, trying local food, and making memories — all shadowed by one persistent worry: will I be able to eat safely?
As a coeliac mum with over 17 years of lived experience, I know that feeling all too well. It's why I created Gluten Free On The Go — and it's exactly why our gluten free translation cards exist.
The Language Barrier Is Real
Even in countries where you speak the language, explaining coeliac disease in a restaurant is hard. You're not just asking for a preference — you're communicating a medical need. Cross-contamination, hidden gluten in sauces, shared fryers — these are details that get lost in translation, sometimes with serious consequences.
Now imagine doing that in Spanish, French, Italian, Greek, or Thai. The stakes are the same, but the challenge is so much greater.
That's where a gluten free translation card changes everything.
What Our Customers Say
We hear from coeliac travellers all the time, and their stories say it better than we ever could:
"Absolutely fantastic for our holiday in Spain — we ate safely every day for 7 days."

"My travels were so much less stressful. We visited multiple countries and were able to eat coeliac safe every time."
— Louise, United Kingdom ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"So good for travelling with little ones — very informative."

Less stress. Safer meals. More confidence. That's what a translation card gives you.
How They Work
Our translation cards clearly explain coeliac disease and the need for a strictly gluten free meal — in 14 languages. You simply hand the card to your waiter or chef, and they can read exactly what you need in their own language.
No fumbling with Google Translate. No hoping they understood. No anxiety before every meal.
The cards cover the most popular holiday destinations including Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Turkey, and many more.
Who Needs One?
- Coeliac adults travelling solo or as a couple
- Coeliac families with children (especially reassuring for little ones)
- Parents of coeliac children travelling without them — send the card with them for peace of mind
- Anyone newly diagnosed who hasn't yet travelled with coeliac disease
Don't Leave Home Without One
A passport. Travel insurance. Your translation card. These are the three things every coeliac should never travel without.
Whether you're heading to a beach resort in Spain or backpacking across Europe, our cards give you the confidence to enjoy food abroad — safely, every time.
