    Hi
    Yes Iam coeliac and welcome your efforts to help us experience a range of foods but could you perhaps use free range meats eggs etc as the foods are already expensive would this add a huge burden to us ?
    Also you are aware of the fat and high saturation of hydrogenated fats but could your suppliers be encouraged to remove them?

    Have a query why is high fibre brown bread so sacrace here in Truro its never on the shelves ?

    but thanks for all your efforts

    I suffer from lactose and wheat intolerances, I am also unable to eat meat so I have to take alot of care in getting a balanced diet. Most of the time this means cooking at home from scratch which i have come to enjoy! Me and my boyfriend are students and when money gets short we get very creative with leftovers and cheap food, I'm thinking I should write a recipe book for people with food intolerances-who-are-on-a-budget!! I'm not sure how common that is though!!

    I have just had the most wonderful birthday present from the sainsbury's Freefrom range(thanks mum!)...a box of chocolates!! amazing! They made me feel special instead of left out like usual! keep up the good work!!

    I have an allergy to peppers, red and green peppers, I can even smell them when they are in a dish and feel ill; anyone else?

    I think to start with I would like to congratulate Sainsburys on the level of clear marking of foods regardied as being coeliac friendly. However what I do find frustrating is that many products are still not clearly marked or that one week you find they are and the next week they change - but often are still gluten free once checked with the Coeliac Society. If Sainsburys could proactively support greater and consistent marking for coeliacs that would speed up many a shopping trip!

    Furthermore I wonder if on the on line shopping website it would be possible to list all products which were coeliac friendly which of course includes the excellent free from range but extends to other 'self 'brand products aswell?

    Thanks for the effort in trying to please everyone!

    Is it possible to have more "Dietary Specials" products?

    I also noticed that some "normal" products, like Heinz have some products that are wheat and / or gluten free. Is it possible to 'redirect' some to the special diets shelves?

    Thanks
