I need just the phrase "Excuse me, I do not eat..."

1. Meat
2. Pork
3. Poultry
4. Fish
5. Dairy
6. Eggs
The context is as a couple both with different dietary restrictions ordering at a restaurant for example :)
Thank you again!

David, re yam2u\'s comment.
I took into account the context when translating.
In the end, I guess it depends on what you mean when you say \"dietary restrictions\". To me, \"restricted\" means:
\"To restrain within bounds; to limit; to confine; as, to restrict worlds to a particular meaning; to restrict a patient to a certain diet. \"
Synonyms: To limit; bound; circumscribe; restrain; repress; curb; coerce.

Which doesn\'t leave much room for \"choice\". And that is why I suggested translating it the way I did.
