Fired for an allergy!

Location: Washington A few days ago I got hired at a bakery, and we scheduled my first training day for tomorrow. I have a gluten allergy, but explicitly stated that I can work with flour as long as I don’t eat it. Today I got a message from one of the managers saying this: “Hey (My Name), this is (Manager) from (Bakery name). (Other manager) said that when he spoke with you, you mentioned you had celiacs. I didn’t know! I’m so sorry but we can’t have you working for us with celiacs disease. Best of luck in the job search!” After doing a small amount of research I have discovered that this is illegal. What should I do?
