What the petition asks
Change the ruling on (otherwise fit and healthy) gluten-free applicants being classed as unfit in army applications.
Gluten-Free ration packs aren’t available in the Armed Forces whilst other special dietary requirements (ie. Vegetarian) are being catered for. We think the Armed Forces should be able to accommodate the people who would be otherwise eligible to serve their country.
