flag UK to respond to petition for gluten-free vouchers after 10,000 signatures, citing high costs and health risks for coeliac patients.

flag The UK government will issue a formal response to a petition demanding gluten-free food vouchers for people with coeliac disease after it surpassed 10,000 signatures. flag The campaign, backed by Coeliac UK and public figures like Rebecca Adlington, highlights that gluten-free products cost up to 183% more than regular foods, creating financial strain. flag Coeliac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, can lead to serious health complications if untreated. flag The petition calls for vouchers to improve access and health equity, with a potential parliamentary debate if it reaches 100,000 signatures. flag Some patients already rely on NHS prescriptions, but these are being reduced in certain areas.
