Our Lactose Intolerance Awareness Card Helps You Say What Matters Without Speaking

Telling people you’re lactose intolerant can become exhausting. You explain it at restaurants, at school, at work, on days out, or during family events. Sometimes you’re ignored, sometimes misunderstood, and sometimes you’re just too tired to go through it all again.

Our card gives you a way to show that message clearly without needing to say a word. It simply states “I am lactose intolerant.” That one sentence is enough. It helps others understand your needs quickly and avoids unnecessary back-and-forth.

Made from biodegradable plastic and the same size as a bank card, it fits easily in your purse, wallet, school bag or pocket. Whether you’re ordering food, joining a social event or helping your child manage their diet, you’ve always got a simple way to speak up—without having to speak at all.

How To Let People Know You Can’t Have Dairy Without Repeating Yourself

Everyday situations often involve food. A friend offers a snack. A waiter asks about allergies. A colleague brings in cake. It can feel uncomfortable to keep saying you can’t have something. Not everyone understands what lactose intolerance means. Some don’t listen. Others forget.

Our card helps take that pressure off. You show it once and the message is clear. You don’t need to explain ingredients. You don’t have to describe symptoms. You don’t have to feel like you’re making a fuss. The words do the job for you.

It works because it’s clear, polite and easy to read. And it helps you avoid mistakes that could leave you feeling unwell later.

How To Avoid Dairy When Eating Out, Travelling Or Ordering Food

Ordering food should be simple, but when you can’t have dairy, it quickly turns complicated. You might ask for a dish with no milk and be served something with butter. You might check that a drink is dairy-free and still end up with cream. Even when you explain it, the message doesn’t always get passed on.

Our card helps make that message stick. You can show it when ordering, before food is prepared, or while confirming with a server. It gives staff a clear prompt to double-check what they’re serving.

It also helps when you’re travelling. Whether you’re at a service station, an airport café or a local food stall, you can use the card to make your needs clear—without having to explain yourself every time.

Support For Children With Lactose Intolerance At School Or Nursery

If your child is lactose intolerant, you’ve probably spent time explaining their needs to teachers, carers, kitchen staff and trip organisers. The problem is, not everyone remembers. And children aren’t always confident when it comes to reminding people.

Our card helps reinforce that message throughout the day. It can be kept in a lunchbox, pencil case, rucksack or coat pocket. Whether it’s used by the child or shown by a member of staff, it helps make sure dairy isn’t given by mistake.

It’s especially useful in situations where food is shared or when new staff are covering. It gives children an easy way to say what they need—without having to explain themselves again.

A Quick Way To Stop Accidental Offers Of Dairy Products

Most people don’t think twice before offering food. It could be a biscuit in a meeting. A treat at school. A sauce added automatically to a dish. And because dairy is in so many foods, the risk is always there.

Our card helps you stop that risk before it becomes a problem. You can show it quickly, before someone hands you the wrong thing. It’s useful in shops, cafés, events, friend’s houses or even at home with visiting relatives who may not remember.

When you’re feeling unwell, tired or just not in the mood to explain, the card steps in for you. You don’t need to describe what lactose intolerance is or what happens if you eat the wrong thing. You’ve got a clear message that does the job.
