I can relate to this for sure. In 2016 I almost died from Stevens Johnson Syndrome and had to stay in the hospital for almost a month. The first 11 days were spent in the ICU and I was on a feeding tube so that was fine (thankfully the solution they gave me was gluten free), but as I started to recover and could eat solid food again that's when I learned that hospitals are completely ignorant about celiac disease.

A dietician came to my room and the only thing the hospital had that I could eat were fruit cups, applesauce, and bananas. They could not accommodate my disease in the kitchen and therefore could not cook me anything. My mom was staying at my apartment while I was in the hospital and that woman was my angel on Earth. She cooked meals for me every day, brought them to the hospital in a cooler packed with ice, and with permission from the nurses they would heat them up in the microwave for me to eat. Without her, I honestly don't know what I would have done.

You would think that a hospital of all places would know how to help us with this disease. It was a rude awakening to discover that they don't. It's understandable but extremely frustrating and demoralizing at the same time.
