Spanish Phrases

[debmidge]

There's a slight possibility my husband may have to go to our nearby medical center and most of the staff (aides, dietary etc.) speaks English as their second language; I want to make it easier to communicate with the aides, etc. and speak with them in Spanish, if I can and if it's needed. So if someone could share some Spanish phrases for things that would be said in a hospital setting when you need to talk about celiac it would be appreciated:

Such as

1) The patient is on a gluten free diet

2) The patient cannot eat wheat, oat, barley and rye

3) This is not on the patient's diet

4) This food has gluten in it.

And anything else you can think of that may be of help. I am sure that this info will be helpful to anyone else in this situation.

Thank you.
