Most Pharmacies stock gluten-free foods or can order them in. As part of the Drug Payment Scheme your doctor can prescribe food from the GMS List.
Health Food Stores also carry a good range of popular brands in gluten-free dietary products. However please note, naturally gluten-free flours and grains on sale under wholesalers brand names are at high risk of gluten-contamination as products are bought in bulk from mills in UK and Europe and re-packaged by the company under their own brand. The Food List should be consulted for suitable brands that can be certified gluten-free and guaranteed <20ppm in total gluten content with no cross contamination risks.
