No cooking in the rooms. As a matter of fact the board of health (or whatever) won't even let the kitchen have a microwave. We had one, but they made them take it out. They said it has to be a commercial one, and being that the kitchen never used it anyway ... it's gone. I'm going to have to go to the store and get some foods that don't need to be refrigerated that I can snack on. I'll get some dry cereal and rice cakes (UGH, I hate them) ... stuff like that.
I see my GI again next week and see what I can do about him me an IBS diet.
Oh, well .... such is life.

The food they are feeding you would have me doubled over in pain, crapping my INTESTINES out on the toilet. I used to have PB&J every day, and it's a MAJOR trigger for me. Milk sends me to the bathroom within minutes. They need to treat you with dignity there, honey, or you need to find another place to be or something. I really am concerned.

These places are all alike. I am in a good one. Only 36 people and it is like a big family. Next time the nutritionist comes I am going to ask to talk to her. As I said, I don't have as many triggers as most of you do. The PB&J was a better choice than tuna with mayo. I eat toast when I know my tummy is not happy.

Oh, no, there are a ton of good things that are safe and don't need refrigeration. I love pretzels and applesauce - Mott's Natural comes in 1/2 cup sizes so you don't have to refrigerate it. As for dry cereal, the Chex are pretty tasteless, but I love Corn Pops. You can check out this post for snack ideas and this post for more general food ideas.
Would you be allowed to have a small fridge in your room, like the ones that go in dorm rooms? That would expand your options a LOT.
Would you be comfortable asking family or friends to do a little baking from time to time and bring you something, like one of Heather's breads or one of the breads from the recipe index? It won't keep long without refrigeration (drawback of low fat), so maybe they could keep half and bring you half - the breads are really good so it would definitely be rewarding for them as well as you. For something that will keep and is incredibly yummy, there's Heather's Honey-Glazed Snack Mix.
When you talk to the dietician, see if the home can switch to low-fat mayonnaise. It really would be better for everyone and you might be able to tolerate tuna salad, then.
I hope this helps. Take care.
