[QUOTE="poemagraphic, post: 2045204, member: 503830"] I wish I had some better advice for you Zoe. I can understand how awful a position this places you in. You know how to choose the lesser of the evils on offer and to start with this is all you can do. Try to come up with a few options that you know the kitchen will be able to muster up for you. a couple of boiled eggs for breakfast is a simple one. They love to dish out porridge and cereals that is not a good choice for you. See what you can adapt from their menu to suit you, without them having to change what they have planned for everybody that day. Go for the jelly and ice cream avoiding their 'jam roly poly or sponge pud with custard. Fish is a good option whenever its on the menu. Ask if you could have double cream in you coffee (if you can afford it, ask somebody to buy you some and keep it in the kitchen fridge 'JUST for you!) Try and befriend a member of the kitchen staff and tell them why this is so important to you. Explain to the doctor/ person in charge that 'We are what we eat' and it is important for you to maintain a healthy diet for peace of mind as well as body. Having been where you are Zoe please know I am thinking you... as I'm sure you will find Zoe, so will so many others here. Po [/QUOTE]
