Eh, sorry you've lost me there MargR, can't follow your connection with nuts in comparison with gluten intolerance. You even mentioned you have a cousin with the same condition, so you'd be all for them being denied it too ?
It's not that I consider bread to be "the staff of life" & I couldn't do without it for a while (believe me I have done). It's more to do with what the NHS considers in the patients interest & after all most folk have paid into the system for many a year, so why shouldn't they get a modicum of return ? That's the whole reason of paying your dues isn't it ?
