Local Institutions: Eating Gluten Free When You Can’t Choose Your Food
At our June meeting we had a discussion about being in a hospital and the availability of gluten free food. Luckily none of us had recent experience.
If the hospital admission is planned, you can check with your doctor about when you will be able to eat and the hospital dietary department about their gluten free practices. You may even want to bring your own food. The last thing you need is to have gluten-exposure issues when you are recovering from illness or surgery.
But what about local schools? And rehab facilities? And nursing homes? What if you are incarcerated?
How well do institutions in Northeast Ohio anticipate the needs of those of us eating gluten free?
Feel free to share your experience by adding a comment.

Do you find “May Contain Wheat” statements to be confusing?
On March 26, 2018 the article, “When foods contain both a gluten-free claim and an allergen advisory statement for wheat: should consumers be concerned?” by Tricia Thompson, Amy Keller, and Trisha B. Lyons was published online ahead of print by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The authors quantified data on products obtained by the Gluten-Free Watchdog. All products in this review were labeled “gluten-free.” It is important to understand the distinction between “Contains” and “May contain” statements.
