<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Last week I was in the hospital three days. It was arranged that I would meet with the dietician prior to surgery, it didn't happen. The Resident did write an order for gluten free meals. However, sadly, all the meals I received were either gluten free or questionable (meaning labeled "regular meal"). I was groggy and could have easily eaten what was served...fortunately, I refused only to later find out that what I received was not GF. Three days later I left in disgust (and starving) because I had never received any solid food. Fortunately, my family knows how to cook for me and Saturday afternoon I was in dog heaven with yummy food. However, I think improper nutrition hurt my postoperative recovery and I've been wracked with complications. Even though I gone to great lengths to pre-arrange gf meals, in the end, I did not receive them. The moral to my story is: don't even trust the hospital!
