At last a proper slice of bread. There is also confirmation of this on the Genius website.

I'm having a ball looking at the sites. It's nice to know there are so many wonderful GF knitters out there (but of course, if they're knitters, they'd HAVE to be wonderful). I've subscribed, and I look forward to more! Kindest regards and best wishes, Lee Thank you so much for publishing links to fellow gluten-free knitting bloggers!

Hi, Re NHS cut back on Prescritions for coeliacs.I would welcome your views on the following,I used to buy DOVESFARM GLUTEN FREE WHITE BREAD FLOUR (1kg) and make 3 loafs a week.[1] At todays prices (RRP£2.40) but available at ASDA @ £1.79 so 3 loafs a week for year = 78 kilo's x £1.79 =£139.62,Plus yeast = in round figures £200.00.[2] I now get my GLUTAFIN GLUTEN FREE WHITE BREAD FLOUR on prescrition for free (whoopee)>> BUT<< at what cost to NHS,I still make 3 loafs a week so a 500gramm pack advertised @ £9.10 x 156 = £1419.60 (wow) hopefully the NHS get at least a 30% discount but it still makes cost to them app £1000. If the NHS want to cut their costs to me by 50% They could scrap my prescription and give me a voucher for £500.00, job done,everybody's happy. Kind Regards, David.

Kingerley - thanks for your comments. The NHS - like all government departments - is going to have to look for savings in the future, so I guess all aspects should be considered! I'm not sponsored by a gluten free flour firm; I'm just another customer. I do accept adverts on this site, to help cover the costs, but the words are all mine... I'm not sure what you mean by 'much has been omitted', as I haven't deleted anything, (perhaps there was a glitch?) but I'm glad you took the time to add the information again. Do you have a link for the NHS survey for coeliacs? It would be good to get as many people as possible to do the survey. Hi D. Kingerley – thanks for your comments.
