In general useage an intolerance is far less severe and that is what the general population will mean. Yes it is an intolerance as the body cannot tolerate gluten in any shape or form.

For information I don't have coeliac disease or even know anyone who does. I therefore have no personal axe to grind.

Yip.... And

all overweight people should get all their fruit & Veg and slimfast and memberships to Weight Watchers or Slimming World free on prescription too!!

All people with Nut allergies should get all their food free on prescription just to make sure it comes from a nut free factory.

I wonder could I get my childcare paid for on free prescription too???????

I was just about to say that! I think it needs to end somewhere what people can get free. I am in england and so pay but my husband gets his free as he has had cancer.... even he queried this! He can understand getting prescriptions free relating to his cancer and treatment but not in any other instance.
At the end of the day it all has to get paid eventually......
