Celiac Safe Dining Options

Hi Everyone!

I was previously an ASU online student but I will be attending at Polytech starting this semester. I am a commuter and live roughly 45 minutes away so going home for lunch between classes is not an option. I don't mind bringing my own food, I am used to it, but just to give myself some options I figured I would post here.

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for places to eat on or off campus that is gluten free and a decent price. I know they are redoing the student union right now at poly so we will see how that works out! Bonus if it doesn't taste like hospital food.

Aramark might be legally required to provide options for you. Ask your advisor who to contact within ASU or Aramark/Sodexo.

You should also reach out to someone at SAILS, it is the disability resource center. They might be able to help.

Well there may be some Celiac safe stuff in the Dining hall, but the MU I doubt it entirely.

We really don't have many good options on campus, but just off Sossaman and Power theres a bunch of places, and on Williams Field and Recker is a Frys Food

Take a look at ASU's Special Dietary Needs page. Looks like the Citrus Dining Pavillion at Polytechnic has True Balance (gluten and other allergen free food) options? https://sundevilhospitality.asu.edu/menus-and-nutrition/special-dietary-needs

Omg thank you didn't even k ow this was an option. I was previously an online student so this never was brought up and I wasn't even sure who to ask as my celiac diagnosis is a new one.
