I think you can ask for one, do you think you have an intolerance to gluten/could be coeliac? The Dr would need a reason to give you the blood test. Then my understanding is that if the blood test comes back positive for the antibodies, you would need to have an endoscopy to formally diagnose coeliac disease. Only then would you be entitled to gluten free food on prescription. I have also heard that they are starting to reduce what you can get on prescription, not least because the range of GF foods at the supermarkets is growing all the time.
