How would I translate the following, please? This is for a trip I am taking to Italy, and I have a bad food allergy that I am making a card to give to restaurant staff to explain it. Thank you for your help! FAT AND OIL INTOLERANCE CARD: I CANNOT EAT ANY FATTY OR OILY FOODS INCLUDING ANY TYPE OF OIL (e.g. OLIVE, SUNFLOWER), FATTY MEATS (e.g, SALAMI, PORK, SAUSAGE), CHEESE, CREAM, SOUR CREAM. I WILL GET VERY SICK IF I EAT THESE FOODS, EVEN IN SMALL AMOUNTS.

Somebody already answered you. Please bring with you also the English version. There is no guarantee that waiters in a restaurant in Italy actually understand the Italian language, many do, but it is NOT a sure thing. You better show the content of your card to the director of the place and insist to be sure that the information will reach the cook or the waiter serving at your table.

L' INGESTIONE DI TALI ALIMENTI, ANCHE IN MINIME QUANTITÀ, PROVOCHEREBBE GRAVI E IMMEDIATI DANNI ALLA MIA SALUTE".

The list of your forbidden foods looks enough comprehensive, but if I were you I would add EGGS (UOVA), NUTS (FRUTTA SECCA) and OIL SEEDS (SEMI OLEOSI), you never know.
