No I don't think that Coeliacs are not capable of managing their diet.......but if they get foodstuffs on prescription, they will have to pay the required prescription charges unless they are over 60 or are a child.....and these days the precription charges aren't cheap.

It is possible that buying the gluten free bread from the supermarket is cheaper than getting prescriptions....because I am sure that most coeliacs restrict the amount of bread they eat.
I have a friend who is coeliac and she only has bread as toast in a morning.
