eating with allergies in china. my experience.
i have a nut allergy. was worried about eating in china. here's what i did.i printed a card in chinese explaining my allergy. "i have a severe nut allergy. if i eat nuts, i will get very sick. please make sure no nuts in my food."
showed the card at every restaurant. most were understanding. some even called the kitchen to check.
i stuck to simple dishes. rice, noodles, vegetables. avoided complex sauces.
i carried allergy medicine with me just in case. never needed it.
street food was risky. i avoided it except for things i could see being made.
the card helped a lot. highly recommend doing this if you have food allergies.
anyone else with allergies traveled in china? tips to share?
