We ended up with bread and crispbreads, glutafin, took it to boots.
Doctor said if I leave him a note with what else we want on it he will sort it out, don't think he could be bothered to look through all the foods we can get there and then.
So does anyone know what Glutafin foods we can actually get, or is there a list somewhere?

google them
Most specialist suppliers have a website and will indicate what their foods contain/exclude and will identify if they are prescribable.

cool cheers, he tried to give us some chocolate chip cookies as well but they wouldn't come off, apparently just for private patients or something.
I am feeling a bit glum as doctor was not as supportive as he had been before, although I think he was actually stressed or tired, they are people too after all. Showed him dd's excema caused by sun cream and he gave me some more hydrocortisone and told me to stop using sun cream, no suggestions as what to do re sun but there you go.

there are strict rules about what they are allowed to prescribe so it may be that the Dr was just limited in what he could offer you . The cookies won't be only available to private patients as that would be a paid for prescription which would cost way more than the cookies .
Don't worry - it gets better. have a look at the simple mixes as these can work out as a good option. i used to get the cake and bread mixes - they were really simple and made lots ( DS 2 is a quantity rather than quality boy )
Unfortunately there is very little he can tolerate on prescription anymore so I end up buying most of it myself anyway [sigh]-

Thanks I know really, I am feeling a bit upset as i tried to tell the doctor that io thought she had gone back a bit and he said how is she compared to 6 months ago, obviously I said so much better, she has fallen asleep every afternoon for at leats a couple of weeks, she is fast asleep on the soaf as we speak and I am starting to get really worried.
