My biggest recommendation would be to take a note from your doctor explaining your dietary restrictions to someone at your college- probably someone in the accessibility office or someone in charge of the food service.  My sister cannot have gluten and tried to just get by her first year, but she could eat almost nothing on her meal plan as it was almost all processed food containing wheat in some form. It was an incredible waste of money as she had to buy so much stuff herself. The second year she talked to the school and got it fixed that she was able to get meals from a different dining room on her campus (that was for faculty and not included in the meal plan) that provided her with lots of fresh food (fruits and veggies) and meat, etc.

It was a pain to get straightened out, but well worth it in the long run.

As for snacks/ quick meals, depending on the size of your Walmart, some are getting quite a selection of Walmart brand gluten free products that are cheaper than others. I know my sister’s had their cookies and likes them.

This fall I will be heading off to college and while I will be on the full meal plan I definitely will need to supplement. I will have a small fridge and access to a microwave a target store and a Walmart store. I will be on a very limited budget. I also cannot eat dairy, gluten, coconut, nuts or onion and will be very limited as far as time is concerned. Any ideas of what I should stock up on for easy snacks and meals?

any thoughts, followers?

We found SO MANY gluten free options on our trip to New Orleans! There were a ton of options (which seems so rare) and we were able to try so many new things, and I never got sick!

Tried arepas at a place called Maïs Arepas for the first time and they were AMAZING! Mine had beef, a plantain, and mozzarella in it, with plantain chips and rosado sauce to dip them in!

Found a place called The Daily Beet with absolutely amazing açaí bowls, and it was so yummy! I ended up buying a bag of their granola to take home with me! Their oats were certified gluten free :)

Another place, Bons New Orleans Street Food, had gluten free beignets (or calas) that were to die for. They were so good. I also got some Mexican street corn with pork and it was delicious!

The last place we stopped on the way home was a cute little cafe called Bearcat that had gluten free pancakes!
