As I wrote in a previous post, I will be attending Holy Cross in the  fall.
This is the first time I will be on my own eating gf- so I need all  the
advice I can get!  Have any of you had experience eating gf in  dorms?  It would be
wonderful if you felt like sharing your experiences  with me.  I am meeting
with the director of dining services at Holy Cross  next week when I go for
orientation- any suggestions as to what information I  can give to her?  Does
anyone know of a good printout about general celiac  and gluten-free diet info?
I am especially concerned about the food  preparation and explaining
cross-contamination, etc.  I am planning on  giving her a list of mail-order companies
and things like that.  I would  like to prepare as much food for myself as
possible (every dorm has a  kitchenette) but I know that that is not always going
to be easy.   Basically I'm just looking for any information you might have
on being a celiac  at college.  I will be about 4 hours away from home, and my
parents will be  bringing and shipping food as much as possible but I will be
living on my own  for the first time so I need as much help as I can get!

Thank you so much!
