once again the pharmacy did not order my GF bread. Fresh Juvela. No bread over Xmas and will be new year before I get some. . If ever. Very rude pharmacist. They don’t think prescription food items are essential.
How to solve the problem? I have changed pharmacy’s 4 times, enquired at others who have the same attitude.
Hi. Yes I had problems with a High Street pharmacy where I used to live. Rude pharmacists there too. Because of surgery rules I was unable to get my prescriptions from the pharmacy attached to the surgery. Every month there were issues. I moved area and can now get my prescriptions from surgery pharmacy. But there are still issues. There nearly always something that hasn't come in and I only order bread, rolls and flour! Often what does come in is several days late. But the pharmacy staff are lovely.
Emailed Juvela and they just replied and say pharmacy would have failed to order it. They are sending me some directly. How kind.
I have refused to go back onto normal food in order to have the necessary blood test for coeliac disease. Instead I buy my own gf products.
I use a bakery in Kettering for a regular order for bread, rolls, scones etc. which I freeze. They only make gf items in that bakery and taste and quality are good.
available online, it is called the Incredible Bakery.
now that is interesting, I live close to Kettering and might give them a try. Since we have been denied (against NICE guidelines) prescription gluten free basics I have tried many brands of bread etc and really miss Glutafin flour mixes particularly. I have settled for Schar bread which is nice but the slices are very small and it is rather expensive too.
there are various products advertised on their website. I use them for bread, panini, scones and some cinnamon buns which make a pleasant change. They do an
Introductory offer of a selection.
I use Freee flour for sauces but gave up on making bread once I found this bakery. It arrives by courier, whole loaves so you can slice to suit yourself, and I have been trouble free since.
Perhaps I am not as sensitive as some, but made the mistake of visiting a pub for a meal recently, who despite advertising gluten free options, Really had a serious effect on me.
Give Incredible Bakery a try….I am totally satisfied with product, service, delivery and order /payment options. You can also collect if you live nearby….good luck.
Count yourself lucky you even get a prescription. I have to bake all my own, from scratch, from flour I have to buy myself online that is almost £4 per pack plus delivery, and I'm unwaged. You are in a very small minority if you can get prescription products. NHS in the main is terrible for understanding coeliac, even at pharmacy level where they are dishing out products with no knowledge whether or not they are safe for coeliacs. I'm not surprised at their lack of empathy for basic bread products. No one at any level in NHS understands coeliac, its implications on health, or its wider implications for day-to-day living. The main reason for this, IMO, is that Coeliac UK purposefully roadblock interaction and education at NHS level, for if they did, it would become very clear that Coeliac UK is not fit for purpose and is spinning a yarn for cash. This country needs a revolution on health care and too many worship at the feet of an NHS that does not have health as its central interest, and all these spin-off neo-liberalist so-called charities that see illness as not something to solve but to cash in on. Your pharmacist will seldom forget to order their expensive drugs and pharamceutical products that put money in the pockets of pharma companies and their shareholders, but seems to have a blindspot to ordering basic gluten free bread. Quelle surprise!
I was talking to a chap in our local Tesco yesterday, in Leeds. He told me he gets Warburton's GF bread on prescription and is allowed 8 loaves a month. This surprised me because I know many areas have stopped doing this.
I cannot get G/F bread on prescription anymore! My gp won't do it. They stopped prescribing biscuits years and years ago, the a few years ago stopped prescribing bread.
Why shoud GF bread be on prescription?My local Tesco, is a small shop rather than a supermarket. They always have gluten free beer and bread. I am sure if you asked them to get it for you they would.
The anomalies of being a coeliac.
Symptoms of being glistened
Gluten free bread bloats me
Gluten free potato bread
Even when I eat a GF pizza base or bread I get pains and bloating, except Genius brand.
