If you want to order gluten-free food at The White Moose Cafe in Dublin, Ireland, you'd better be prepared to provide a doctor's note — that is, if you take the owner's recent social media posts seriously.

"This morning a girl asked us if we did gluten-free pancakes and when we asked her if she was a coeliac, she didn't even know what the word meant and then proceeded to order regular, gluten-rich pancakes anyway," the cafe wrote in a Facebook post Saturday. "From now on, guests who demand gluten-free food are required to produce a doctor's note which states that you suffer from coeliac disease."

The statement caused an uproar on Facebook and Twitter.
