Ok so this has not been an easy thing to translate however hopefully my friends and I have done it. I am regularly asked about gluten free suggestions for eating in Bali, I have compiled a few ideas however I am sure there are so many options available for you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised how many places now have GF on the menu or if you discuss with the chef and the staff they can make some adjustments or perhaps even bring you out a special menu at some places. One tip is also to ask the chef to swap soy ( kechap aisin / manis ) soy sauce for fish sauce, and stick to fruit, veggies, etc and you should be fairly safe.

Here is a translation which you can copy/print out and take with you which may also assist.

English – I have been diagnosed with a medical Coeliac disease and I must eat a strict gluten free diet. I can not eat food that contains wheat, rye, barley or oats, such as pasta, couscous, breadcrumbs, batter, bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits or noodles unless they are specifically made using gluten free flours, please check the ingredients for processed meats, soups, sauces, gravies, dressings and custards. I can eat a variety of foods including unprocessed meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, dairy products, rice, corn (maize), polenta, lentils, soy and potato. If you have any questions when preparing my meal please ask me. Thank you.
