  • Gluten-free food costs burden families as South Yorkshire cuts prescriptions
    May 24, 2026, 6:52 AM EDT. A Sheffield mum highlighted the 'diabolical' costs of gluten-free food after her daughter was diagnosed with coeliac disease, a condition requiring a strict gluten-free diet to avoid immune system reactions. Since the South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board ended most gluten-free prescriptions in 2025 due to financial pressures, families face soaring expenses, with gluten-free bread and pasta costing up to three times more than regular variants. The ICB spent nearly £444,000 on prescriptions in 2025 before the cuts. Coeliac UK reports gluten-free groceries are on average 35% more expensive, and eight in ten people struggle to afford them. The NHS defended the decision as balancing clinical need and budget constraints amid a tough financial climate. Calls grow for government support or price parity to ease the economic impact on affected families.
