Prescribable foods tend to have a shorter shelf life, therefore it is important to consider quantities carefully. Manufacturers of the specialist gluten-free products will offer samples prior for patients to try prior to prescription requests.
It is important too, to remember that people with coeliac disease in England, N Ireland and Scotland do have to pay for prescription gluten-free products unless exempt for another reason (income, age, medical condition etc). Prescriptions in Wales are free of charge. Some patients may wish to consider purchasing a Prepayment certificates (PPC) for their prescrip- tion products particularly if they are requesting a number of items on a regular basis.

These manufacturers also have their own websites which of- fer a wealth of information on cooking tips, recipes, the coeliac condition and nutritional information of their products:
