Petition addressed to: European Parliament Petitions Committee

People living with digestive conditions such as IBS, bloating, reflux, cramps, food sensitivities, stress-sensitive digestion, and other chronic gastrointestinal issues often experience more than physical discomfort.
Many gradually become socially isolated and anxious about eating in public spaces due to:
• uncertainty about food ingredients, 
• fear of symptoms, 
• lack of suitable options, 
• embarrassment, 
• and the absence of supportive hospitality practices. 
While allergen information has become increasingly standardized and legally recognized in many countries, people with non-allergic digestive sensitivities still face significant barriers when dining outside their homes.
We believe that restaurants, cafés, bars, and hospitality providers can become more inclusive through simple, realistic, and non-medical supportive measures.

Reason

We respectfully call for:
• clearer digestive-related food information on menus where possible, 
• optional “lighter” or digestion-conscious menu sections, 
• transparent preparation methods, 
• indication of heavy, spicy, highly greasy, or gas-producing foods, 
• availability of smaller or flexible portions, 
• staff awareness regarding digestive-sensitive customers, 
• hydration-friendly and calming beverage options, 
• and hospitality guidelines that reduce stress and uncertainty around dining.

Thank you so much for your support, Ilinca Dragutel, The Hague

Why people sign

I am digestive sensitive customer and this petition means a lot to me have a nice day.

I am interested in this because it is important for this group of people to also feel seen and be able to enjoy in restaurants with friends and family.

Its important because people dont have this in every restaurant and to feel good about what they eat and what they digest, so they dont feel sick or unwell because of eating that is not provided for them

because i am intolerant to sugar and i have to be very careful with what i eat, otherwise i am no feeling good

I am interested in accurate and transparent information about what restaurants offer on their menus and support accurate labeling of ingredients/allergens.
