theherd123 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm using mine! Im not paying 6.65 for a tiny wheat, dairy & egg free loaf. I really dont know how companies justify charging so much for a 'health' product. It always seems that if your need is slightly outside of the norm they think they can charge you the earth and get away with it. It makes me so mad!

WarrensWorld Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 We bake our own bread, rolls and French stick. We haven't bought a loaf in years. I've a great recipe for a healthy people friendly (bread machine) loaf........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Can't you get it on prescription Em? My friends son is coeliac and she gets most of his gluten free food. Certainly the basics like bread and flour But she also makes a lot of her own in a breadmaker that she uses solely for his bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 We make all our bread too, I often make a gluten free one when a friend asks me to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reikiranf Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 That's a horrendous price I have a yeast intolerance so I make my own soda bread as the stuff you buy in supermarkets is awful I also make bread for the rest of the family in bread machine, so haven't bought a loaf for nearly 2 years I hope you can get your bread on prescription it seems so unfair that a basic food is so expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl's mother has her gluten free food on prescription. I was hoping for this but as Isabelle is allergic and not diagnosed with Coeliac Disease we cant get it for her & from what I've been told it contains milk too . I have tried to bake my own but as I cant use milk or egg either, its really difficult. I made one at the weekend and thought I'd cracked it however it turned out to be a glutinous mass and better used for sculpting than eating!

LisaP Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I currently have a gluten/wheat/dairy free loaf rising in the airing cupboard. I use Dove's farm bread flour which I buy at Sainsburys and was going to post the recipe and then noted that you can't use eggs. Are you able to use the egg replacer powder, as they sell that at Sainsburys too? I make this bread for one of my children who is on the autistic spectrum and on a very strict exclusion diet and I make it using my cake mixer. I have an ordinary loaf baking for the rest of us in the breadmaker. As I say I get the flour in the supermarket. but I order a lot of his other dietary requirements from www.dietaryneedsdirect.co.uk. They do everything (including a gluten free baking starter kit), from flours/cereals/alternatives etc. There is a lot of info on the site and the staff are very helpful. Hope this might be of help.

Lozmk1 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 try the glutafin website,you can order allsorts of mixes off there hun. i try to avoid everything bread related from the supermarket as it all falls to bits and is rubbish, the only gluten milk egg free etc thngs iv ever found that are any good are sainsburys pita breads!? i found something from australia online (might even have been out of the lakeland catalogue?!a few years ago) that was a powder that you just mix with water its yeast, egg, milk and wheat free- i think (what its made of is anyones guess) it works well in the breadmaker, and comes as a pack of 6 bags of the mix in a big white bag, ill have a hunt online see if i can find it for you. found it Laucke Flour Mills - Easy Bakers - Gluten Free Yeast Free Bread mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Can't you get it on prescription Em? My last prescription cost more than £7 for a single item - so might not be any cheaper !! NHS - free at the point of need (NOT!) H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Can't you get it on prescription Em? My last prescription cost more than £7 for a single item - so might not be any cheaper !! NHS - free at the point of need (NOT!) H I know, it's horrendous! But free for children which is what I was hoping for Em's Isobel. Sadly not What a shame Em - surely coeliac is a form of allergy anyway, that seems so wrong. Hope some of the other links here are helpful for you.

theherd123 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks everyone, I will look into all your suggestions and have another go at baking Isabelle a loaf this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hi Emma, If you want I can ask Mum about things like this when she gets back from work today as she works in a healthfood shop and has quite few customers with similar complaints. I'll see what she comes up with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
