But they sent my area to a different building.

I'm at a place I don't know, surrounded by people I've never met, and as it happens food I can't eat.

I'm not allowed to leave.

I'm supposed to feel appreciated.

Leave. If your boss/manager/whatever starts to make a fuss, “I noticed you weren’t at the lunch”, lie and make a fuss right back, “I was in the bathroom chundering my guts out for two hours. Did anyone notice that?” and take the next day off sick with an unspecified illness. Your boss/manager/whatever will be so embarrassed, and unconcerned for your welfare, that there will be no repercussions.
