As a Registered Dietitian and a mom of a son with Celiac, I want to educate on a healthy gluten free diet.

Celiacs and Dining Halls
The question is, are dining halls that state they are gluten free, safe for
people with Celiac? There are signs stating gluten free in many halls
but students often still have a hard time finding uncontaminated items.
For those who have a gluten sensitivity, eating gluten can cause a whole
range of symptoms, from headaches to stomach aches. Even a small
crumb of cross contamination can trigger these symptoms. Many
students across the board have complaints of cross contamination as
their biggest problem. Another problem is the number of choices offered
that are gluten free. There is much room for improvement across the board.
You may want to check out all living and dining options. Bring with you
to school what you could to keep from being cross contaminated.
Be aware, know your school and the choices you have. Educate who
you can, on the importance of keeping gluten free, gluten free.
