What the petition asks
Coeliacs should not be penalised financially due to their condition.
The NHS is considering withdrawing prescriptions for essential gluten free staples such as bread and gluten free flour. The average cost of a gluten free loaf of equivalent weight is over three times the cost of an ordinary loaf. Avoiding gluten is essential if you have coeliac disease and not a lifestyle choice
