Re: New member + food question

[Guest guest]

It's nice to hear that you've been diagnosed & are doing so much

better. I would definitely try to get a fridge to store leftovers

that you can heat up later.

I'd also see what restaurants are around & then search the internet

or call them for GF info, just in case you & some friends leave

campus to eat.

As far as snacks, I think that Schar crackers, that are described as

being like saltines, are the best. Those with peanut butter would

be a good snack or lunch. Cereal, chips, yogurt, fruit, frozen

taquitos, & dips for chips. Amy's makes a very good rice crust

pizza, if you have a little freezer in your fridge - we usually had

cheese & pepperoni to it. Amy's also has good frozen gf enchiladas.

Even if you don't have a freezer, I bet the kitchen would let you

keep it in their freezer.

And if they say they'll work with you, that's great. Let them do

the work so that you can focus on having a good time!!! I'd provide

a lot of info on the gf diet now, especially to the first school, so

that they will have the knowledge to prepare at least something that

is gf for each meal (that isn't that hard for them to do & it isn't

that much to ask) - but still check on them b/c you don't want to

get sick at camp.

Good luck!
