צליאק
The Hebrew phrase for celiac disease is צליאק.
Did you know?
- The Hebrew word צליאק uses the letter צ, which produces a 'ts' sound, making the pronunciation closer to 'tseliak' than the English 'seliak'.
- In many Israeli restaurants, you will see the English phrase 'gluten free' written phonetically in Hebrew script as גלוטן פרי on menus.
- In casual Hebrew conversation, people often use the term רגישות לגלוטן, meaning 'gluten sensitivity', to refer to celiac disease, even though they are medically distinct.
Examples in context
- צליאק מחייב דיאטה קפדנית.tseliak mechayev dieta kpdanit.Celiac disease requires a strict diet.
- האם יש לך צליאק?ha'im yesh lecha tseliak?Do you have celiac disease?
