Hi
I'm struggling a bit with the extra cost of both our children having to eat gluten and dairy free (eg Genius bread costing £3!) and help to some extent by cooking from scratch etc but it just occurred to me would a GP give us a prescription or is that only if you've had the biopsy?
Dd is so intolerant of wheat after years of pain and diarrhoea and getting nowhere with GPs we saw a private doctor who ran tests and found her severely wheat intolerant . We refused a biopsy as she'd suffered enough and changed diet radically changed her life which was all we wanted to know . DS has been told by NHS team to avoid wheat and dairy too.
Any experience/ advice? I suspect we arent eligible? Many thanks

Is gluten free food only given on prescription to diagnosed coeliacs?
