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

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1
