Alpha-gal Restaurant Card

Eating out with alpha-gal syndrome can be stressful, especially when you’re trying to explain that beef broth, bacon grease, gelatin, and tallow are all part of the same mammal-shaped problem. That’s why I created this printable alpha-gal restaurant card. It gives servers and kitchen staff a clear, easy-to-scan summary of your allergy, including the mammal-based foods and ingredients to avoid, foods that are typically OK, and simple prep requests that can help reduce cross-contact. Because when you’re hungry and everyone else is already studying the dessert menu, you shouldn’t have to deliver a TED Talk on tick-borne food allergies.
