The Celiac Card

I got this card from my friend J. “Dino” Knight. He designed it for his own use but is willing to share it with the Celiac world.  The only stipulation is that it cannot be sold.

I will be changing it slightly for myself to include my food allergies.  I hope you find it usefull too.
