Thanks to all who replied. I received a lot of good suggestions. It
appears that many have had similar experiences and some even worse. One
person even went on a hunger strike until they got it right.
- Bring your own food. Keep it in a cooler in your room or have some
one bring it in daily. It could also be kept at the nurses' station.
- Stick to fruit, baked potato, hard cooked eggs and jello.
- Have the admitting doctor write "gluten-free diet" in as an order
(they may pay more attention to it.
- Keep an emergency food bag at home in case you need to bring it with
you.
- Make an appt. with the dietician ahead of time if possible and maybe
they could personally prepare or check your trays.
- Have your support group take this on as a project to enlighten the
hospital staff or kitchen staff.
- When you have a problem or even in advance contact the patient
representative, hospital director, hospital administrator with written
information.
- and finally, stay well.
Hope these help others. I plan to utilize many of these. Thanks
again.
