Often, it is community pharmacists who are the frontline healthcare professionals signposting customers with relevant symptoms to the GP for testing 1. Following diagnosis, it is the community pharmacy who has regular contact with the patient, not only dispensing their gluten-free foods, but also providing important ongoing advice and support. In some parts of the country which run gluten-free supply schemes, this role for community pharmacy is more formally acknowledged, and involves a mandatory annual review for all patients enrolled in the service. With these schemes demonstrating efficiencies and benefits for both patients and healthcare professionals, it is likely that they will become more widespread. This guide has been produced as an information resource for pharmacists and the pharmacy team on coeliac disease and dispensing and supplying essential gluten-free foods. 1 NICE Coeliac Disease: recognition, assessment and management NICE guidelines (NG20) Published date: September

3 Coeliac disease is a life-long autoimmune condition triggered by an intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, and also barley and rye. The ingestion of any amount of gluten will cause chronic inflammation and trigger an immune response, flattening the villi in the small intestine. This results in a range of symptoms in genetically predisposed people of any age. In the UK, 1 in 100 people are potentially affected; however, only 24% of those with the condition are clinically diagnosed 2. Symptoms of coeliac disease Symptoms of coeliac disease will vary from person to person and can be mild or severe. They include typical gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, wind, abdominal pain and nausea. Other non-specific symptoms such as mouth ulcers, joint or bone pain, anaemia, headaches, skin problems and weight loss are also associated with undiagnosed coeliac disease. Diagnosing coeliac disease Coeliac disease As coeliac disease is often misdiagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, pharmacists are ideally placed to help identify people with symptoms and signpost them for further testing. TOP TIP Be alert to those customers TOP repeatedly TIP coming back for the same OTC remedies for IBS. If concerned, advise that they should be tested for coeliac disease. Testing for coeliac disease NICE 1 recommends that serological investigations and a biopsy of the small intestine provide a definitive diagnosis for adults. For some children a biopsy may not be necessary 3. Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH) is a skin manifestation of coeliac disease, affecting around one in 10,000 people in the UK. A rash, with raised red patches, sometimes with blisters, occurs on the elbows, knees, shoulders, buttocks and face. Many DH patients will not have any gastrointestinal symptoms but damage to the villi in the small intestine will still have occurred. Treatment and management TOP TIP Advise customers of the TOP importance TIP of NOT removing gluten from their diet until they have received a confirmed diagnosis of coeliac disease. Coeliac disease and DH can be successfully treated and managed by adherence to a strict gluten-free diet. Complying with a glutenfree diet reduces the risk of long-term health complications such as osteoporosis, lymphoma and small bowel cancer. If patients maintain a strict gluten-free diet they can expect to lead a full and healthy life 1. To assist patients in adhering to a gluten-free diet, the NHS offers a range of staple gluten-free foods available from the pharmacy via a prescription or pharmacy supply. These specialist gluten-free products, including bread, all-purpose flour mixes, breakfast cereals, pasta and crackers, are often nutrient enriched, and help patients adapt to this challenging new diet. 2 West J, Fleming K, Tata LJ et al (2014). Incidence and prevalence of coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis in the UK over two decades: a population based study.

4 Gluten-free prescribing guidelines Gluten-free foods on prescription Prescribing of gluten-free staple foods is considered an essential NHS service provided to all patients medically diagnosed with coeliac disease and dermatitis herpitiformis. National Prescribing Guidelines 4 recommend that patients have access to a reasonable choice of staple gluten-free foods to help them maintain and manage their life-long gluten-free diet, ensuring their essential dietary and nutritional needs are met 5. Types of food available on prescription The types of staple gluten-free foods available on prescription are approved by the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS).

6 Dispensing Checklist Eligibility for free prescriptions (England only) Check if your customers are eligible for free prescriptions. Provide guidance and advice on how to obtain a Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC). Provide a FP95 form or direct the customer to the nhsba website for more information: Ordering amounts Confirm with your customers how much food they can order per month (See page 7). There is some variation around the country so please check with your Local Pharmaceutical Committee (LPC) for guidance on the gluten-free prescribing policy in your area. TOP TIP Advise your coeliac customers to keep a food diary to record how much staple food they eat in a typical month. Ask them to think about how many slices of bread, bowls of cereal, pasta, pizzas and crackers they used to eat before being diagnosed. GLUTEN-FREE STARTER PACK Advise your new coeliac customers to request a starter pack available free from gluten-free manufacturers. These contain a range of staple gluten-free products for your customer to try before setting up a regular order. Gluten-free formulary MIMS list all ACBS approved products, but your Clinical Commissioning Group Medicines Management Team may have produced its own list. Check with your LPC that you have the latest version of the glutenfree formulary, so you can advise your coeliac customers on what products are available in your area. Changing orders Please check with your coeliac customers that they understand the arrangements for repeating and amending gluten-free prescriptions in your area. Most customers prefer a monthly order. Collecting orders Check with your coeliac customers that they are aware of the specific collection days for fresh bread (see pages 18-19) Are your coeliac customers eligible for your home delivery service? TOP TIP Advise new coeliac customers of the benefits of electronic repeat prescriptions and to opt-in to EPS (if available). Direct customers to the hscic website for more information on EPS:

7 Dispensing Checklist Ingredients Annual review UK clinical management guidelines recommend that all coeliacs should receive an annual review 6. The purpose of an annual review is to monitor symptom improvement, nutritional status, dietary compliance and to check routine blood test results. In some parts of the country operating pharmacy supply schemes, pharmacists are providing an annual health check for their coeliac customers. The results of the annual health check are sent to the GP. Those customers who are symptomatic and require a full medical review are called back to their GP for re-referral to their dietitian or gastrotenterologist. TOP TIP Check with your coeliac customer that they are aware of the procedure for annual review in your area. If you should have any concerns about your coeliac customer, particularly if they have not had a review since diagnosis, please refer them back to their GP. Gluten-free wheat starch Gluten-free wheat starch (also known as Codex Wheat Starch) is a specially manufactured ingredient used in some staple gluten-free foods available on prescription, such as breads and flour mixes. This is wheat starch, in which the toxic protein (gluten), has been removed through a series of washing processes. Manufacturers choose to use this ingredient as the baking quality and texture of these products more closely resembles gluten-containing foods. This is important as it makes the diet more palatable and has been shown to improve adherence to the diet. The removal of the gluten is subject to strict quality control and rigorous testing to ensure that the finished product complies with the Codex standard for gluten-free foods of less than 20 parts per million. At this level, people with coeliac disease can safely eat these foods in unlimited amounts 7. Gluten-free oats Oats contain a similar protein to gluten called avenin. Although oats are naturally gluten-free they can be contaminated during processing. Recently, several manufacturers have produced gluten-free oats sourced from uncontaminated oats milled in a dedicated production environment. These are often referred to as pure oats. The British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) in recent guidelines recommends that gluten-free oats can be introduced into the diet from diagnosis. However, they acknowledge that a small percentage of patients eating a diet containing gluten-free oats may continue to have symptoms and advise that these patients review their use with a healthcare professional 6. 6 British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines on the diagnosis and management 7 Codex Standard for Foods for Special Dietary Uses for Person Intolerant to Gluten of coeliac disease Gut
