Wheat/Milk free foods

Hey,

I work in a pharmacy and we're always getting in prescriptions for gluten free bread, pizza bases, crackers, biscuits etc. Speak to your GP about it and s/he might be able to prescribe you food!

Sainsbury's korma - best GF/LF korma sauce I've tasted! AND they have xantham gum and GF baking powder for if you want to bake

What is this?

For bread, you can have rye or oat bread too.

xanthan gum is used to give the dough or batter a "stickiness" that would otherwise be achieved with the gluten. Xanthan gum also helps thicken commercial egg substitutes made from egg whites, to replace the fat and emulsifiers found in yolks. (off Wiki)

I wouldnt have thought to try m+s too so i will be having a look in there as i miss sausages!

To be able to get items on prescription you have to be a diagnosed coelicac (sorry if ive spelt that wrong) as I only intolerant i am not entiltled to any foods on prescription

Marks and spencer do a gluten free chocolate cake and also a gluten free fruit cake.
Asda and Tesco do excellent gluten free sausages too

Waitrose have a good range but if you can make it yourself Lakeland do a great gf bread mix. If you can make it yourself then just replace flour with rice flour and butter with sunflower spread and they come out fine I use potato flour (or can be sold as potato starch in health food shops) for thickening instead of flour.

Tesco do the largest range of gf pasta that I have found, but approved foods have a gf section (and they are usually very cheap!) Ultimately the only real way around it is to become an expert in label reading - anything with whey powder, lactose, milk protein, casein and gluten all will affect your intolerance.

Most butchers now do gf sausages if you ask them, cereals are tricky but rice crispies you cant go wrong with!

Can you make it in bread machine? Thanks

No - thats its only downside! You can make the dough in the bread maker but the rest has to be done by hand. There are several bread mixes you can buy to do in the bm though and depending on the type of bm you have then you can make gf bread in it. We have a Panasonic and I know that has the programme on it, just prefer the Lakeland mix!!
