Information for tourists with galactosaemia in the UK
| If you are planning on visiting the UK the following ‘Diet Passport’ translation can be used to inform a restaurant that you require a lactose free meal. I have a metabolic disease called Galactosaemia and must keep to a strict LACTOSE FREE diet. It is therefore very important that my food is always completely MILK FREE (LACTOSE FREE). Lactose is mainly found in milk, butter, margarine, cheese, yoghurt, cream, etc. and must be avoided. Any ingredients that mention the words lactose (milk sugar), whey, curd, kefir, animal fat, butterfat and ghee must be avoided as well. Can you prepare food for me without lactose? Thank you for your help! You can also click here for the full PDF file. The Diet Passport is available in other languages from the EGS (European Galactosaemia Society) website www.galactosaemia.com |
