Estonian coeliac dietary explanation

English:

I suffer from coeliac disease and as such I am not allowed to consume any dishes which contain even the smallest amounts of the following cereals: wheat, barley, rye and cross-contaminated naturally gluten free cereals (oats, buckwheat etc).

Are there any dishes on your menu which would be suitable for me, or could you prepare a meal without the addition of the aforementioned cereals (i.e. do not use wheat flour to thicken my sauce or fry my meat in breadcrumbs)? Alternatively, would it be possible to use a different gluten free marked flour such as maize, rice, millet, buckwheat or potato flour?

Estonian:

Mul on tsöliaakia ning ma ei tohi süüa toite, milles on või mis on kokku puutunud gluteeni sisaldavate teraviljadega – nisu, rukkis, oder või ristsaastunud naturaalselt gluteenivabu teravilju (kaer, tatar jne).

Kas teil on menüüs mõni toit mis on mulle sobilik või saate mõne toidu valmistada selliselt, et te ei lisa gluteeni sisaldavatest teraviljadest tehtud tooteid (ei kasuta kastme paksendamiseks jahu ning teete liha ilma paneerimata). Asenduseks võite kasutada, gluteenivaba tähisega riisi, maisi, tatra, kartuli või hirsi jahu.

ENGLISH ESTONIAN
I have an illness called Coeliac Disease and have to follow a strict gluten-free diet. Mul on haigus nimega tsöliaakia ning ma pean jälgima ranget gluteenivaba dieeti.
I therefore become very ill if I eat food containing the flours or grains of wheat, rye, barley and cross-contaminated cereal products. Kui ma söön teravilju, mis sisaldavad gluteeni ehk nisu, rukkist, otra või ristsaastunud teravilja tooteid., siis mul hakkab väga halb.
Does this food contain the flour or grains of wheat, rye, barley or cross-contaminated cereal products? Kas see toit sisaldab jahu või muid tooteid, milles on nisu, rukkist, otra või ristsaastunud teravilja tooteid.?
If you are at all uncertain about what the food contains, please tell me. Kui Te ei ole kindlad, mida toit sisaldab, siis andke mulle teada.
I can eat food containing rice, maize, potatoes, all kinds of vegetables and fruit, eggs, cheese, milk, meat and fish – as long as they are cooked without any gluten containing product such as wheat flour, batter, breadcrumbs or sauce. Ma saan süüa toitu, milles on riis, mais, kartul, juurviljad ja puuviljad, muna, juust, piim, liha ja kala – seni kuni need ei ole valmistatud gluteeni sisaldavate koostisosadega nagu näiteks paneeringvõi jahu/tärklist.,
Thank you for your help. Aitäh abi eest!
