The small health food store near my house doesn't have it and won't order it for me. Does anyone know where I can buy it around London?

Thanks so much!

Hi 'kschauer' and 'nikki-uk',

If you are a confirmed Coeliac you can get it on Prescription on the NHS.

.

Tapioca flour has become a marginal health requisite for Coeliac disease suffers in the UK.

.

You can check out Open Original Shared Link for all the information on the subject.

.

Hope this is of some help.

.

Best Regards,

David

Thanks, I didn't know I could get it through the NHS.

nikki-uk, Holland and Barrett told me they didn't carry it all, maybe the clerk meant just at his location.

Thanks!

Yes, although I should add most GP's will only do prescriptions if you are a biopsy proven coeliac.

Open Original Shared Link have some more info re: prescription food :)

I expect they sell it at the Whole Foods Market on Kensington High Street. Well worth a visit anyway as they have tonnes of gluten-free foods - even fresh bread!

Do you have any Chinese supermarkets near you? I recently found some in a Chinese supermarket in Birmingham. Was really cheap as well. Located with the rice paper, rice flour etc

I'm just outside Bath, do you want some mailed to you? My Healthfood shop is incredible and supplies me with everything even if they have to special order.

I'm not in the UK but HK influences some of the english labels in our area. Tapioca flour here is referred to as cassava flour.

Have you tried the multicultural food aisle at tesco or asda they do lots of different flours and starches. The other place to try is asian (pakistani/ indian) food stores (there are loads in birmingham) don't know about London.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?

      Some of the largest contract manufacturers in the U.S. include companies like NutraScience Labs, Capsugel (part of Lonza), and Thorne Research. These companies produce supplements for a wide range of brands, from small startups to well-known names.

      Thank you for your feed back and knowledge.  Scott do you know the names of the BIG manufactures who produce most supplements?  Love to research them all and decide on their principles and manufacturing certifications who I want to spend my dollars with if they provide other non private label supplements that are good.
