My boss occasionally orders lunch for the entire team in our office. It’s always catered and buffet style.
I have celiac‘s disease, therefore I can’t have anything containing gluten. Every time he does this the only thing I can eat is lettuce. Last time I asked him if there were any gluten free options available to order. His reply was that he wasn’t going to go out of his way for one person.
What would be the best way to bring up the issue with my boss? Ideally, my boss would order considering my dietary restriction and the restrictions/preferences of the whole team.

Sounds like you'll either need to order your own lunch, or bring it from home. Seems like there would normally be something without gluten besides lettuce in most buffets. But if that's not the case, you don't have many choices.

You did bring it up, and he gave you an answer. Which was not a good answer, not the one you were hoping for.
If you know the catering company, try to see if they have any gluten-free options in their menu. You boss may think he has to organise lunch from a seperate place, which may not be the case.
Otherwise, you will have to bring your lunch in from home.

If you can't eat this food, then don't eat it. It's a simple solution. Your boss is not obligated to buy you food. If he does buy you food out of kindness, and you can't eat it, then give it to someone else like a homeless person instead of throwing it into the trash. You get paid enough to buy and prepare your own food, right?
