Have you been to Delicious Without at the Commmons? “Delicious Without at The Commons: For students with severe allergies + intolerances, The Commons’ Delicious Without station is your safest option. This station avoids the top allergies (wheat/gluten, dairy, egg, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish + sesame.) We strive to prevent cross-contact by using separate surfaces, equipment, and utensils to prepare menu items. If you need special meal arrangements outside the station hours, please contact us by texting our nutrition line at (314) 222-7656”

I have not personally visited them. Their website has an “avoiding gluten” logo for the menu, but their website states “This logo does not meet the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) definition of “gluten-free.” They offer students a “A Don’t Be Shy card” via their mobile phone, and someone will make their meal safely. Or so their website states. They state that they are “FARE Certified food allergen trained.”

You could definitely eat the salad bar. Depending on what’s available at The Grid, you may be able to get a noodle bowl without the protein. It’s difficult to do vegetarian protein without soy, tho. I have recommended Hilary’s Eat Well products to them, since they are free from the top 8 allergens, as well as gluten, sesame and corn. I have successfully eaten at the Vegetarian station at Brody Hall, as well.
