And I will publish it. But for now, I think the "Safe" thing to do would be for America's Corporate Bosses to wax sincerely about the "Gluten-Free" issue or NOT wax at all. And I think that those of us who sometimes have emotional rants in our empty dining enjoyment quests that sometimes lead to "Gluten-Free" starvation -- oh... and I have been there many times too.. -- should also think next time before we blast an unsuspecting cashier the local "Minute Burger Joint".

Anyone diagnosed as having gluten sensitivity is entitled to free prescriptions for the rest of their life for gluten free food. Courtesy of the taxpayer. Most (not all) gluten free food is more expensive than “ordinary” food. Big Pharma and their clients dine out on this big time. One of the leading suppliers is Juvela. They have a website devoted to flogging their goods.OK, I am not suggesting that patients with coeliac disease should not have some support from the NHS in case of genuine financial need - though frankly I can think of more deserving cases.

It is indicative of the way the NHS now is that this has been picked up by a Coeliac Forum where there is a whole thread devoted to me in which I am styled asThe GP who hates coeliacsThat is an outrageous slur.
