I keep reading in the comments on this thread that there are lots of gluten free products available. I don't know where this idea comes from. Here in Canada I have, Cornflakes (Gluten free as regular cornflakes contain wheat), three types of pasta, penne, spaghetti and sometimes linguine, several types of cookies/biscuits, all of which are tasteless, bread that costs around $10 a loaf (In pounds that's around 6 pounds a loaf.) Several cake options, all of which cost three times as much as regular cakes and a gluten free soy sauce option. Gluten free products contain massive amounts of carbs and sugars, far more than the regular items. Gluten is in everything and don't get me started on all the hidden gluten in products that are used further up the food processing line that do not have to be disclosed on the ingredients list. Even rolled oats, for god sakes can contain gluten, how perverse is that.  Remember that those of us with coeliac could very well end up in hospital after consuming just a few crumbs that contain gluten. The UK may have a few more options, but it is dismally small, given that the entire food store is brimming with gluten containing choices. As for lactose free, we have milk, cheese (cheddar only), cream and butter. Please don't tell me that there are lots of gluten free choices when our choices are a tiny fraction of what is available for those of you who can tolerate gluten. Sorry again for my comment but is got to me.</p></blockquote><p></p>
