I agree Mrs Crimbles is lovely. I had this email from them last week:

"Fantastic news, we have learnt today that Mrs Crimble's Fresh White Bread, Pastry mix and Bread mix have been added to the list of foods available on prescription. We are now looking at distribution methods and hope to have more news for you soon." :j

Hi, I recently saw this thread through a google alert I received. I work for Genius and was concerned to see that some people think the bread contains gluten. Genius bread is made from gluten-free and wheat-free ingredients, it is baked in a dedicated gluten-free, wheat-free and dairy-free site which means no produce or ingredients containing these allergens are allowed into the area and rigorous checks are in place to ensure that procedures are followed.

The term 'gluten free' implies no gluten, but in reality, tests are not sensitive enough to detect a zero level of gluten. The standard for gluten-free products used to be set at a level of 200mg gluten/kg or 200 parts per million (ppm), but labelling legislation has recently changed, which means that in future, only foods that contain less than 20ppm can be labelled as 'gluten-free'. Genius bread is well below this threshold and has been tested to <5ppm which is the lowest limit of detection.



If you have any queries about Genius bread please call the helpline on 0845 8744000.

Firstly on topic, my M and S had no gf bread left at all, so i was forced to buy a lemon drizzle cake instead....

Now Off topic. Most of the decent breads have traces of gluten in them, truly gluten free breads are terrible. I've got Juvela fresh fibre bread for lunch (its a prescription item) and that has the allowed level of gluten in it as well.

Sorry to hijack this trhead but if you want more details try here:

http://www.coeliachelp.me.uk/codex.html

The oldest Standard dates from 1981, and it says that foods may be labelled as "gluten-free" only if the nitrogen content of the protein derived from wheat is less than 50 mg N/100 gm on dry matter, which may be equivalent to about 20-30 mg gliadin in wheat starch. The calculation is quite complicated by the fact that most of the protein in wheat starch is "starch granule protein" and not gluten.
There is a new Codex Standard in preparation, and a proposal to set the limiting level of gluten to 200-mg gluten/kg (20-mg/100 g) gluten-free food on dry matter

Thanks so much for the replies to my post :T

I do know though, for a fact, that I definitely cannot tolerate the Juvela type fresh bread, which I discovered to my dismay when I was finally diagnosed with coeliacs disease years ago

You are right those types of bread, all the ones with the 'allowed level of gluten' ARE by far the nicest - however, I must be very sensitive (poor soul!) and I become really anaemic if I try to use any of the products like that!

I tried it for a while when I was first diagnosed, with high hopes, thinking 'this is great, it's not so bad' but of course the reason for the better taste, texture, etc is the gluten! And I just can't tolerate it...:(

So, as I said much to my dismay, I realised I was stuck eating the truly terrible, truely gluten free breads

I get my gluten free bread, etc on prescription and I find that 'Dietary Special' Multigrain Bread is the nicest (toasted)

Wish I could eat the fresher style bread with abit of gluten in them, but I just can't!

But thanks to everyone anyway!:)....just off to eat some more cardboard...:A;)

Can you supply a regular landline number? More and more companies are using these 084 numbers and we moneysavers object to this. Love your bread though.

A quik money saving recipe.
Morrisons have the Boursin on offer at half price 99p which is a soft garlic cheese...anyway if my fussy son says it nice it must be ok
I got a chicken fillet, opened it up, gave a little bash with rolling pin, put a dollop of boursin in the middle and rolled the fillet back. Blasted a slice of M&S bread in blender for breadcrumbs. Brushed fillet with olive and and coated with the breadcrumbs cooked for 25 mins and had a lovely chicken kiev....yummy
