More details

Coeliac disease isn’t a choice it’s an autoimmune disease the gluten free diet is not an option.

Most people in the cost of living crisis cannot afford food shopping never mind gluten free food shopping which is double the price.

This is causing further health issues which cost the NHS more because people cannot afford gluten free food and will then go for the cheaper alternative which isn’t gluten free which will then cause more health issues or develop eating disorders.
