The brilliant sponsors of this site - Oesophageal Patients Association (opa.org.uk) provide these.

I have to say that I have always met with helpful responses when I have explained the situation to restaurant staff when eating out. My go-to is to order from the starters!

I agree ... you can get a card from this site ! One side says about smaller portion size and the other side says that I am in urgent need of the bathroom facilities! However , we can also say that we’ve never had any problems when eating out , we ask for child’s portion or simply just have a starter . You learn ways round the issue xx

Seems its not a card, you print it koff and its A4 size?
