Gluten Free Products on Prescription
Some Doves Farm gluten free products can be requested by patients on prescription, including our gluten free flours and pasta. Your GP should be able to issue a prescription if you have been diagnosed as a Coeliac and this can be fulfilled by a pharmacist.
Pharmacists can order direct from our internet webshop, and goods can be delivered direct to the pharmacy within 3-5 working days. Pharmacists that spend over £30 on our webshop automatically qualify for free delivery.
Your monthly allowance depends on your age/condition. Please refer to the table below for the minimum amount of gluten free foods someone should be able to access on prescription.
As a guideline – a 500g bag of flour is worth 2 units
250g Pasta is worth 1 unit
