Uk Prescriptions .

Did anyone from the UK see this - Open Original Shared Link

It's a disgrace . This bothers me a lot.

The NHS does not provide food on prescription for other groups of patients whose diseases are associated with, or affected by, the type of food they eat. ?For these reasons, we are considering whether or not the local NHS should continue to provide NHS prescriptions for gluten-free foods.?

All I can say is WTF :(

This was a comment from the article . There's SO much more gluten free choice available nowadays, so no need to have free prescriptions. / This is from a non Celiac who knows nothing about celiac disease , what a stupid person , how can a non celiac advise someone with celiac disease.

It sounds like most coeliacs need nutritional advice and guidance, and help on how to make interesting, varied and affordable meals, not a regular presciption of boring gluten-free stodge. - Yet again a non celiac clueless person trying to give people with celiac disease advise .

ook how much money the NHS, could save... If these people got their own FOOD!! - I better not say what my response to this is or I might get in trouble .

It's a joke 'm so pissed off . I also read celiac disease should be down graded to an intolrence WTF

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
