Normalise Gluten Free food in shops and restaurants
I would ike the government to implement a change in how ceoliacs and those with a gluten free diet are being treated in the UK. Shops and restaurants should stock all gluten free items like they do for non gluten free.
Currently there are around 67,737 people are diagnosed with ceoliac disease in the UK. There are many more who couldn't get the diagnosis due to the current testing methods.
People living with the disease are limited to what they can eat. Ceoliacs are expected to pay more for food and often in restaurants they will add an extra charge for a Gluten Free pasta dish. The discrimination is obvious, as I would doubt it very much that anyone with diabetes would get charge extra for a diet coke.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the approach of some retailers and hospitality businesses to stocking gluten-free products, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what new requirements you would like the Government to impose on retailers and hospitality businesses.
