N.B. This site is not currently being maintained -but much of the information remains valid, and the contacts are still of use. I am happy to hand over the running of this to anyone able to do so - please E-mail me at mheadbellsr@aol.com - thanks. Thank you for visiting this website, which details Gluten and Casein Free foods available from UK supermarkets, as well as contacts for home research. The lists are not comprehensive, and never will be as product lines vary all the time. The best approach is DIY - contact the supermarkets directly using the addresses listed below, giving your name and postal address. Most provide a good service. Also - join an electronic mailing list. You'll then instantly be able to discuss GFCF with others. To obtain more information about the diet go to www.gfcfdiet.com Please note the footnote regarding cereal containing malt extract Another good link: Don Wiss' Autistic spectrum and diet page http://www.PaleoDiet.com/autism/

Some people on the GFCF diet avoid foods containing malt extract and malt flavouring
This is a transcript of the Coeliac Society
handbook on the matter:
"Almost all brands of gluten-free breakfast cereals
contain malt extract and malt extract flavouring. This includes own-brands.
New analytical techniques have shown that malt derivatives do contain small
amounts of hordein, the protein in barley. Medical advice is that for the
great majority of Coeliacs, gluten free breakfast cereals may be safely
included in their diets. However, a few people are super sensitive and do not
respond to even a strict gluten free diet. They may benefit from additionally
omitting malt extracts."
The foods in these lists contains malt extract, and if you wish to avoid it then check ingredients.
