Emma,
I am a little far away as a supporting argument (I am at a
university in the U.S) but the conditions that require a
gluten free diet (primarily Celiac) would be considered a
disability and we accommodate students in our residences.

Subject: Re: gluten free diets <fwd>
Hello,
I have had a query (see below) from a warden from a catered
hall of residence. My gut response is to say that they need
to
provide a gluten-free diet but I would be interested to know
whether it is provided at other Uni's as I may need some
evidence to support our reccommendations.
with kind regards
Emma
Emma,
I have had an enquiry from a girl who has to have a
gluten-free diet and would like catered accommodation,
including breakfast. She can't simply go into a bar and buy
food so she has to stock up in the morning. Our chef manager
is obviously of the opinion that we can't manage, but what
are we obliged to do? If we have to accommodate this girl we
will have to make allowances? I understand she will be
ringing me in the near future, and I'd like to say something
helpful to her.
Regards
David Sands
