However, there are quite a number of local eating establishments that are fully aware of the requirements for a gluten free dish, serving and kitchen staff are obviously well trained in those places - went to one last night, the Grey Mare - the waitress was quite knowledgeable, so no problems.
An earlier posting compared diabetics to coeliacs - sorry but that is like comparing apples and strawberries. If you took the time to compare the relevant prices in Asda/Tesco/Morrison's between ordinary foods and gluten free foods you may be in a position to comment.
Is it alright to provide drugs or alcohol to people who have self inflicted themselves with the problem. If it is then what is wrong with providing the basic staple foods to people who have a condition that is no fault of theirs.
If you have no knowledge or experience of the subject then I suggest that you refrain from commenting on the subject.

Certainly like your last comment Barry, but there again there are those who think they are experts on everything just because they can use a browser, there is no substitute for personal experience
