I posted this in the culture section, but perhaps it is more appropriate under vocabulary:
My stomach is very sensitive to fats. If I accidentally eat bread made with milk I can be sick for a good part of the next day. I will be traveling in Italy in two weeks and would like some words and phrases that will help me with my oil and milk sensitivities. Specifically these words and phrases:
low fat
soy milk
non-dairy products
light on oil
steamed, baked or grilled not fried
poached eggs
vegan foods
I have a sensitive stomach (technically irritable bowel syndrome) and can not eat dairy products.
Could you prepare this dish without dairy products and light on the oil?
Traveling with IBS and lactose intolerance.

Ciao Stuart
I'm sure you will have lots of other delicious food you will enjoy during your two weeks:)
low fat food = cibo a basso contenuto di grassi
soy milk = latte di soia
non-dairy products = prodotti non caseari (or senza latticini)
light on oil = not too much oil = non troppo olio
steamed = al vapore
baked =al forno
grilled = alla griglia
not fried = non fritto
poached eggs = Italian don't eat eggs in the morning but we have a translation = uova in camicia (if you say in English it's probably better )
vegan foods = cibo vegano
Could you prepare this dish without dairy products and light on the oil?
Potrebbe preparare (or cucinare) questo piatto senza latticini e con poco olio?
Have fun in Italy!
Ciao
