If you have a medical card then you are entitled to gluten-free products free of charge, prescribed from the GMS List by your GP.
The GMS List includes: Gluten-free Baking powder, Baguettes, Bread, Bread Mix, Bread Rolls, Cornflakes, Rice Crispies, Flour, Muesli, Pasta, Pizza Bases and Porridge.
Your Doctor or Pharmacist should have a copy of this list.
There is no upper limit on the amount of food that can be prescribed but a reasonable amount is advised in order not to abuse the scheme.
Juvela have worked out guidelines to how much gluten free food you need, depending on your age, gender and lifestyle. If you are having difficulty working this out with your GP you could contact them for more information on 1800 40 50 90.
