As well as specialist sites, most supermarkets have a selection of gluten/wheat free foods. Ask the shop which aisles they are in.

Ask your doctor if you are entitled to any items on perscription, Im not sure if it really saves money. But it is useful to get a months worth of basic ingredients like gf bread that can be frozen.

And of course there are quite a few basic ingredients that dont contain wheat, like dairy, fruits and vegetables and meat.

What it really means is an end to any kind of ready meals or preprepared dishes, cos they always seem to use wheat flour to thicken any sauces etc even things like frozen chips seem to contain wheat!

What sort of foods do you usually like?

there are some reasonable bread substitutes around, but most gf pastas are horrid, I now use corn based pastas for pasta bakes etc.

There are a wide range of interesting gf cakes and biscuits, so its a matter of trying them and seeing which ones you and your friends like.

restaurants and cafes are getting better at serving gf /wheat free food, but it is frustrating if they dont really know what they are doing. Like going to an expensive restaurant that prides itself on serving wheat free food, that then serves you a dish with filo pastry on the base!

There are gf/ wheat free societies like 'coeliac uk' which publish magazines and ideas,

which are useful. And some areas have local meetings with things like tasting sessions.

Good luck, I find it occasionally irritating having to be so fussy about food all the time. But a gf diet has stopped the horrible stomach aches I used to get periodically, and hopefully will let my body absorb the iron and calcium it needs.

Hmm a lot of things do contain wheat. Gluten free biscuits can tend to taste like cement as well.

You can buy noodles that are made out of rice that you pour boiling water over, they're quite cheap and you can eat them with pasta sauce.

http://www2.sainsburys.co.uk/food/allergies-intolerances/allergies-intolerances.htm supermarkets do have quite a lot now for special diets.

http://www2.sainsburys.co.uk/NR/rdonlyres/C6EB41FA-1645-4D41-8A67-DDBAC5B80E67/0/Wheatjanuary2010.pdf might be a useful document to give you an idea of which things contain wheat and which things don't.

Our gluten free range at work is considerably small now after lack of sales. As soon as they cut it down the complaints started to come in.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
