Hi Steph,The GP CAN prescribe gf products, including bread, if they are so inclined. Mine used to do this for us in the early days, so it definitely can be done.

>>>Actually they are NOT allowed to unless a person has a Dx of celiac - but many do and annotate the Rx so it goes through without issue. At least those were the rules unless they have changed very recently and I doubt it.

Locally GP's will have what will be called and 'indicative budget' allocation from the PCT which they are allowed to spend as they see fit so this might include GFCF products. My GO was asked by the PCT if he would be willing to spend some of his 'shadow' iniducative budget on my application - he says its like monopoly money and of course he woud LOL. They were meeting again yesterday, must chase them tomorrow and see what happens - I reiterated that I wnat to presetn to panel but again they said no time this meeting
