So, the Romans were aware of this some 1,800 years ago which show that the condition is not as recent as some may think. Take a look at the following article which makes interesting reading: Open Original Shared Link

My understanding is that the U.K. has some of the best food labelling regulations that there are.

Hi Roger. do you get your bread on prescription? My wife does so it is in effect 'medication' I would think that if you take some in along with copies of your prescriptions from the doctors they would see that it is ok.

This has worked and when it comes to shopping it is very easy to spot safe foods as they should have the crossed gran symbol on them...

I am pleased to say that over here in the U.K. a couple of breweries now produce gluten-free beers. The come in bottles only and can be purchased by mail order. One of the breweries now does three different types of beer. I'm not Coeliac myself but my wife is. I have tried a couple of these beers and they are quite good. So, there is hope for all...

Hi there, I wonder if anyone on this forum can help or possibly put me in contact with somebody that can. My wife and I are looking at the possibility of taking a vacation in the States next year.
