Gluten-free bread and other foods

[Guest guest]

Hello again and Sonja,

I can find an excellent range of gluten-free foodsin the UK. Because

I had my coeliac diagnosis in 1988 I get GF foods on prescription. I

do accept that they would be inordinately expensive otherwise. My GP

has been great. Even since my CP diagnosis last year, I can still

have GF foods on prescription. My gastroenterologst actually wrote

to the GP saying that his advice was that I should be in no rush to

change as the introdcution of the GF diet in 1988 definitely helped.

Of course, the " luxury " GF foods, such as cake etc, are not

available on prescription, but basic like bread, crackers, plain

biscuits (cookies in the US?) and GF flour mixes can all be had on

prescription. I couldn't have them of course, if I hadn't had a

coeliac diagnosis.

However, bread remains a problem! There are lote that are

indistinguishable from ordinary bread when toasted but none are as

good as ordinary bread when not. Even home-baked bread is not the

same as bread containing gluten.

Anyone found anything different?

With good wishes,

Fliss
