We were not allowed ipads, phones, zilch for personal belongings, not even food. My bf brought me some gluten free food to cheer me up and they were taken and given to me if I asked. Heaven forbid I share a snack from a health food store...*shudder*.

One thing is tho being gluten free I did get better meals than the other patients. If your hospital has bad food I'd suggest telling them you need gluten free to avoid getting the crappiest food they offer.
