Food Allergy Accommodations Denied (seeking advice)

Food Allergy Accommodations Denied (seeking advice)

Hello, I am an incoming freshman moving in this week. I am allergic to both gluten and diary and they both cause me to experience gastrointestinal issues. I sent the student disability services both an allergy test showing my allergy to gluten and dairy along with a doctors note about what would happen if I were to eat those foods so I could receive access to the special diet kitchen (which serves gluten free and dairy free foods without the risk of cross contamination). They then told me my allergies were not a disability and told me to contact the nutritionist.. so I did. I was given a list of the foods available that day for me to eat (see screenshot) which doesn't seem like food that I can make a meal with, let alone if I didn't have to worry about cross contamination when making the food.

To those with allergies; what did you submit as documentation to gain access to the SDK and would they be mad if I were to go get food from the SDK while I wait for my accommodations to be properly assessed and approved?
