Create a sort of discount card for individuals that have celiac disease.

What the petition asks
My daughter and many others in the UK have celiac disease which basically means no gluten products to be consumed due to the medical condition. Large stores like Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury’s offer ‘Free from’ foods, but the price of these are often double the price of the standard products.
I urge the government to introduce a discount or support card for individuals and families living with celiac disease. Gluten-free foods are often nearly double the price of standard products, making it difficult for many households to afford a medically necessary diet. As gluten-free food is not a lifestyle choice but a health requirement, financial support would help ensure people with celiac disease can safely access the food they need without added financial strain.
