Gluten Free Food on Prescription

Coeliac disease 

If you've received a diagnosis of coeliac disease, it means that your immune system is responding negatively to gluten and causing damage to your intestines. The best way to improve your condition is to eliminate gluten from your diet, as it is the only effective treatment for coeliac disease.

Gluten free food products can be purchased from most supermarkets, however these can be expensive.
