At Home, On the Go or to Grab a quick Bite

If you are at a train station/airport, service station on the motorway, on a working lunch and need something quick to grab...its not as simple as going to the sandwich section and grabbing the nicest sounding sandwich going right?

Actually - it can be just that simple!

There are certain food shops that are catering for us gluten free on the goers who need a quick bite that we can eat on the go.

Marks and Spencers: Slighty more money than tesco or asda, but they have a fabulous sushi range which you are able to eat if you do not add the soy sauce to the sushi. You can also get ham and mustard sandwiches, Ploughmans sandwiches, egg and cress all made with the lovely taste of genius bread.

Waitrose - high quality, again slightly more expensive than any normal run of the mill supermarket, but they have also started doing varieties of sandwiches, roast chicken, prawn mayo etc and also have a lovely sushi range (I believe that theres is the best next to actually visiting a sushi bar!)

Now if your not totally into sandwiches and sushi, which I am well aware that not everyone is, Sainsbury's has a fabulous range of food that pre made lunches can have, teacakes, crumpets etc. And I have found sainsbury's to have the best flavour out of Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's....but thats my own opinion. I know it is usually seen as the more expensive supermarket out of those 3, but when it comes to gluten free and free from, they are all pretty similar in price.


Cereal - Sainsbury's own brands of cereal such as corn based cereal, rice based cereal - these although they say contain gluten due to the barly malt extract, because it is so low, they contain a low enough amount that most coeliacs can tollerate - obviously, look out for those containing wheat, rye etc as these ones won't be. Their own brand Weetabix will contain harmful levels of gluten and some of the rice based cereals that are more adventurous may also contain wheat - obviously you guys can make a sensible conclusion with this, but we can eat normal cereals and not pay the earth for them.. infact, we can pay a lower amount than if we were  buying kellogs!
