My daughter has coeliac disease and has been gluten free since she was 8. She is currently sitting Nat 5s and uni is very much in the planning stage. We live close to a major university city, one she may potentially chose to attend, but we are keen for her to move out for first year. However I cannot quite get my head around how you manage coeliac disease and student living.
If she were to chose halls, the food options seem quite limited. Shared flats are a cheaper option but the thought of managing, especially in the early days when you don’t know your flatmates, seems like a minefield. The only solution I can see is a studio flat but the cost is astronomic. I’m really curious about how other coeliacs have managed, especially in first year when you’re effectively living with strangers who may not understand your restrictions.
