O meu corpo não tolera este tipo de cereais (mesmo em quantidades mínimas como migalhas), assim não me sirva comida que contenha estas farinhas ou seus derivados.
NÃO POSSO COMER NADA frito em óleos onde já foram cozinhados alimentos que contenham estas farinhas como por exemplo panados, rissóis, croquetes, batatas fritas congeladas e massas. Também não posso comer molhos que sejam confeccionados com farinha de trigo (bechamel, soja), cerveja e/ou mostarda.
POSSO COMER carne, peixe, arroz, batatas, vegetais, fruta fresca e outros alimentos confeccionados com farinha de milho, amido de milho (maizena), polvilho doce/azedo (tapioca).
Obrigado por ter em atenção as minhas necessidades de saúde, informar-me sobre a comida que me pode servir e preparar uma refeição que eu posso tolerar.
In 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 maize starch or potato flour 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!

Don’t bother to explain what gluten or the disease are. Simply state that for health reasons (and not because of a trend or fitness diet) you can’t eat those cereals. Explain that you may have “carne, peixe, arroz, batatas, vegetais, fruta fresca e outros alimentos confeccionados com farinha de milho, amido de milho (maizena), polvilho doce/azedo (tapioca)”.
