I have had horrible experiences with safe school food in the past, and my college has absolutely allowed me to view school food safety differently. I am extremely grateful for Bellarmine, and I know they want what is best for me! I react to small things, including just touching gluten. I react with any interaction with gluten no matter what, and I’ve been like that for 10 years
