Hospital food: Coeliac patient repeatedly given gluten meals after stroke

NZ Herald2026-07-03T17:07:00.000Z

This makes my blood boil. How hard is it to read a patient's dietary requirements? Absolutely useless hospital staff. Get a grip.

Taylor Wright2026-07-03T18:57:00.000Z

Wait so she's a nursing student and still got served gluten? That's grim tf

James O’Brien2026-07-03T19:11:00.000Z

yeah nah this is crap. mate had the same thing happen at North Shore. they don't take coeliac seriously enough

Kai Thompson2026-07-03T19:37:00.000Z

100%. They treat allergies like an option. It's life threatening, not a preference.

Kai Thompson2026-07-03T19:20:00.000Z

As someone who works in food service, this is just negligence. Coeliac isn't a fad diet. Could've killed her.

NZ Herald2026-07-03T19:44:00.000Z

they won't learn until someone dies. Watch.

James O’Brien2026-07-03T19:57:00.000Z

lol cope? maybe you should read the article again. it's literally in the title

Jamie Fox2026-07-03T20:30:00.000Z

ffs seriously? what a sick joke

NZ Herald2026-07-03T19:47:00.000Z

I swear health boards are run by monkeys. File a complaint, take em to court. That's what I'd do.

James O’Brien2026-07-03T20:04:00.000Z

tbh I'd be livid. My daughter has coeliac and this is my worst nightmare. Staff need proper training ffs

Jamie Fox2026-07-03T20:15:00.000Z

Same. My nephew has it. We have to triple check everything. Can't trust anyone these days.

Taylor Wright2026-07-03T20:11:00.000Z

maybe if she'd been allergic to peanuts they'd care more. gluten intolerance gets treated like a joke

Taylor Wright2026-07-03T20:47:00.000Z

facts. coeliac gets zero respect in hospitals. my mate had to starve for 2 days cos they kept giving him toast
