While I don’t have Celiac Disease, I do have some other food allergies that limit the amount of food available for me in the dining halls. There is a wide variety of food, so that is pretty helpful in always finding something to eat. Additionally, Lehigh recently installed a Gluten-free section of the dining halls, with gluten-free equipment (like a toaster) and some food. I believe every main dish served has a card which lists information helpful for people with allergies (Such as Dairy Free, Vegan, Gluten free, etc.). If your daughter has a doctor’s note with Lehigh it is likely she can get a medical suite for her first year with a kitchen. This could be really helpful for her, as even with the new things in the dining halls it still might be difficult for her to get enough food to stay healthy.
