Food Allergies in Albania
Hi!
I am traveling to Albania soon and have food allergies to Tree Nuts (walnuts, pistachios, pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts etc) as well as Shellfish (mussels, oysters, scallops, prawns, crab, octopus, clams, etc) and Gluten.
I’ve traveled quite a few countries where English is not always widely spoken. I am planning on driving around Albania and know that might be the case.
While traveling in Egypt I had a friend translate my allergies onto a card that I could give to restaurants if needed. While I only needed to use it a couple times over ten days it was very helpful.
I have used Google Translate to create something similar for this trip, but I would love for someone who is familiar with the language to take a look.
I really appreciate the help in advance!!
I know that so many Balkan dishes contain these ingredients. Especially the desserts which is unfortunate. While I love trying new foods while traveling I want to be as safe as possible. If there is any traditional food that you’d recommend that does not contain my allergies, I would love suggestions as well.

Jam alergjik ndaj arrave të pemëve (arrave, fistikëve, farave të pishës, lajthive, gështenjave etj.), si dhe ndaj butakëve (midhjeve, gocave deti, guaskës së detit, karkalecave, gaforreve, oktapodëve, midhjeve, etj.) dhe glutenit. Nuk mund të ha asgjë që përmban këta përbërës, madje as në sasi të vogla. A mund të më rekomandoni diçka ose të modifikoni diçka për të përjashtuar këta përbërës?
