Its not just about eating them though is it. As you said playing cards with someone who ate them can be deadly. Its about how the food is prepared.

Tesco gluten free bread is £2 (I just looked), Warbies is £1.35. Not a lot extra if you eat a couple of loaves a week. A lot better than what the NHS pay from an earlier post.
