Hello, currently awaiting test results back for celiac disease. If positive can anyone please recommend good gluten free food? Like good brands?

[John419]

Schar bread is good, and gets a mention four posts below this one. Not cheap, but no gf bread is.

Marks and Spencer has a good range of gf foods, such as Scotch Eggs, pork pies, quiche Lorraine, breaded chicken , and fish cakes.

Yes schar can be found in asda and Iceland but don't think it's on prescription yet

[Jacks in reply to Wendyroyle]

Schar is the parent company of DS and Glutafin so some of the products will be identical to those on prescription.

Hi jacks, they were owned by the Hero food group but they sold the Dr Schar brand (DS) here's a list of their companies:

hero-group.ch

And Glutafin is part of the Juvela group.

Glutafin is part of the Dr Schar brand (and not Juvela) - it says so on my crispbread packet and funnily enough is identical to the Dr Schar branded product in the supermarket.

Make sure you've completed ALL the testing done first then maybe join a society. You've used the spelling "Celiac" so presumably you can't just run in Tesco or M&S.

In the UK Coeliac UK are worth joining for newly diagnosed. Other countries have their own versions. Here in the UK food companies (like Juvela, Glutafin and others) will send samples of their foods for you to try. They also hold roadshows and display at local group meetings.

trader joe's also there's apps that you can put in things you want to avoid eating like gluten. you scan the barcode and it will tell you yes or no. It also gives alternative suggestions. hope that helps.
