A recent post on suggestions for college help included:

"9. Request dorm with kitchenette. They are required to allow this since
Celiac is a medically diagnosed disability under the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA)."

Is this in fact true?  I believe the ADA states that a medical condition
must substantially limit one or more major life functions to be covered by
the Act.  If celiac is a protected disability, what about people with any
other dietary restriction?  Just wondering, as the implications for
reasonable accommodation under the Act are broad.
