[quote=Anonymous]Our 2yo nephew has celiac.  The whole family is visiting grandma's summer home for 5 days this summer.  She has fully cleansed the kitchen in the main house to protect him, and the rule is no gluten products there.  I assumed we would get the guest cabin which has a kitchenette, so I figured we would feed our kids there when necessary, but I learned that nephew's parents claimed it (they also have a new baby so they should get first pick) so we are in the main house.  This would be fine with me but for now we have no place to feed our kids any of the foods they normally eat, most of which have gluten (sandwiches, pizza, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, pasta, crackers, etc).  I honestly can't think of more than one meal they eat that doesn't have some gluten in it).  I really don't want to be trapped at the house for 5 days with hungry kids, and there are no restaurants nearby, but celiac is serious and I understand why they are worried about contamination.  What accommodations can I ask for, if any, without being a brat?  Or should I just suck it up and make my kids live on fruit and cheese sticks all week?[/quote]
