Gluten & Wheat Free Lager/Beer 500ml - Just 63p From £2.54 **Instore** Tesco
Just seen these beers in my local Tesco Metro in Macclesfield. My other half has coeliac disease so we always wander down the gluten/wheat free section and I saw these.
These are never on sale and are always £2.50 plus in Tesco or Sainsburys.
Here is a link to the brewer's website - http://www.hambletonales.co.uk/gfa.htm
This would be a cracking deal even if it wasn't for gluten free beer/lager at £.063 for 500ml. Fantastic price. Plus they actually taste very nice as she has tried them and reckoned they don't taste any different to normal bottled beers. Best before 11/12 for the lager and 03/13 for the bitter.
No idea if this is nationwide just in case anyone asks :-)
They also had a number of other gluten and wheat free stuff on offer like seed bars down from £2 to 40p.

Yes, they do and unfortunately it often goes undiagnosed. This means they suffer with symptoms similar to irritable bowel syndrome and painful cramps and they spend most of their lives malnourised due to the damage their bodies do to their stomach lining trying to destroy the gluten from their diet. This often leads to early brittle bone disease due to life deficiances in calcium among others.
Please consider that comments like these, while funny to some, poke fun at people with a diagnosed illness that they didn't ask for or do anything to get, much like people with nut allergies, skin conditions, asthma etc.
People don't ask to have this disease. It is not a lifestyle choice.
Rant over.
Not true. As a Celiac myself, I have found that a lot of the Wheat and Gluten Free foods are as good as those with wheat and gluten.
For example, Genius Bread is as good as any normal multi-grain sliced bread. The only downside is the price - £2.99 for a loaf!
Fortunately, M&S make a lot of their standard products without Gluten - for example their Pork Sausages, normal range not specially Gluten free, £1.19 for 8. Tesco "Free From" 8 sausages £2.00...
Heat anyway, not that I drink, but might help someone out :)
I've still got a dozen of the Free From Christmas Puddings that Tesco reduced to 20p in January that were mentioned on HUKD - best before mid-2013!

Its hard to find decent gluten-free alternatives and most of the stuff in supermarkets are tollerable at best I find. Genius bread is bar far the best GF bread Iv'e tasted though im beginning to really missing "normal bread" now. It must have been an absolute nightmare for coeliacs a decade or more ago, at least now you can get stuff as long as you can afford it!
Some probably do but sadly will never be able to anything about it. Its like when they have to drink dirty water and they dont know if its safe or not.... Sorry what was your point, other than to belittle people with coeliacs and people who live in Africa and Asia and then to smile about it?

Spelt contains gluten - are you sure that it is ok?

I guess my point was that complaining about the lack of choice re. gluten-free food is pretty incredible considering the fact that lots of people in the World don't have enough of ANY type of food to stay alive. Maybe we should just be thankful for what we DO have available.

Idiotic comment from an ignorant ass!!!!! This isn't a moral issue like vegetarianism, my OH suffers with coeliac disease and I tell you, they would NOT do it by choice!!!! Next time use google before making yourself look stupid, its like posting on thread for a wheelchair deal that disabled people should stop being lazy and learn to walk!!! (_;)

I think you need to read my follow-up comment. Re. the wheelchair analogy - that's just ridiculous. However, if a disabled person complained about the choice of wheelchairs, it wouldn't be desperately unreasonable to suggest that they be thankful for having ANY wheelchair at all, as one assumes that there are plenty of disabled people who haven't got access to one.

yeah its pretty incredible how people with coeliacs cant tell their body to stop attacking itself when they eat gluten.

What? When did I say they should tell their body this? You're side-stepping the 'don't complain' point because you know it's valid. You're making out I'm suggesting that the disease doesn't actually exist when I'm not.
