I am introducing a friend to Thailand, my wife is a diabetic and we have had no problem with Thai food. I am however worried that my friend who cannot eat anything with the slightest trace of wheat/barley etc in the food will have a problem. My question therefore is what are the Thai word/words for GLUTEN FREE?

Thai is tonal, so the English text is difficult to translate accurately.

Pare (allergy) ah-han (inside body) Tanya Peu-rch (cereal crops) is the closest I can get to. Swallow the r in Peu-rch

There are couple of links to international hospitals below. I suggest one of the first things your friend does is go there and get a sign in Thai they can show at restraunts. A doctor would charge 300-400 Baht for a visit and if you go to Bumgungrad there is a superb Italian place to eat.

Your friend still needs to be extremely careful as a lot of kitchens will not wipe down between preparation of different dishes.

Have you been to Thailand before, and if not, do you want to know anything about diabetes in Thailand?
