FENLAND COELIAC GROUP EVENT

On Saturday 17th July we were exhibiting PURE gluten free baking ingredients at the first of two annual Fenland Coeliac Group Food Fairs, this time at Newmarket's Rowley Mile Centre.

Newmarket Racecourse, the focal point of the Sport of Kings for more than three and half centuries, is one of our favourite venues. The centre provides excellent conference facilities. It is spacious and air-conditioned and is a superb vantage point for the magnificent world famous course, the Rowley Mile, named after Old Rowley, King Charles II's favourite horse.
Always a popular fixture within the coeliac community this year was no exception and we met many newly diagnosed coeliacs of all ages as well as returning regulars.
Teff flour, gluten free recipes and the Innovative Solutions prescription service attracted the greatest interest. Our information leaflets and samples were also in high demand.
Innovative Solutions will be in this area again on Tuesday 24th August for a patients clinic being held at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.
Many of our ingredients are available on prescription for diagnosed coeliacs. Although we provide PIP codes for authorised items, pharmacists may also require company and brand details - Innovative Solutions PURE - to identify our products.

Did you notice that the London Marathon winner was an Ethiopian? As anyone who has read our information page about Teff grain and flour, their staple diet includes Teff in the form of injera bread and gives them amazing stamina! The fact that it is naturally gluten free is a bonus to coeliacs.
REBRANDING INFO: Our very popular AiA flour, specially formulated for those following the GF/CF diet for autism has been rebranded, it is now to be known as RESPECTRUM flour and will now be available in cases of 4 x 3kg as well as the usual 500g sachet! Please visit the links section for details of the Respectrum website.
RUMOURS ABOUND that Teff flour is in short supply...this is untrue and we have plenty of stock. Also I have recently had several enquiries regarding the difference between white and brown Teff and would like to point out that the fibre content is the same, they are both wholegrain flours and the colour is simply a result of the variety of grain from which it is milled!

Also check out the recipe page if you haven't browsed for a while, I've just added a scrumptious Raspberry Chocolate Pancake recipe! most are for sweet dishes so I've just added a Salmon and Dill Loaf recipe, nice and refreshing for summer - I'm sure you'll love it.
PURE TEFF FLOUR IS NOW AVAILABLE ON PRESCRIPTION! We are delighted that this versatile grain has now passed the strict guidelines set by the ACBS panel and finally been approved for NHS supply. These two varieties of flour (brown & white) can now benefit all coeliacs and enhance the gluten-free ingredients available for all your home baking needs. Use the link at the side to download the new prescription form, take it to your GP and your pharmacist will be able to order direct from us.

Teff grain is a recent addition to our portfolio and this has been a long awaited ingredient for many of our customers. We've had several calls of late regarding uses of Teff grain, so please check out the product section as I've added loads of ideas for ways of using this nutritious seed-you can even brew GF beer! We'd be very interested to hear from customers how you intend to use it!
Why not try our Organic Hemp flour, this extremely nutritious flour is a must for any healthy balanced diet and is naturally gluten free.

We are always pleased to hear from you (see also the customer comments section) A new customer JV has been very impressed with Teff......

"Now my first great success to promote will be your recipe for ROCHDALE LOAF (with white Teff flour) although it doesn't state I used it in my bread machine, adding all the liquids first then the dry ingredients after . I put it on normal bake and. It turned out beautiful. Colour golden brown and texture is that of a bun that dissolves as cream. mmmm! it was very yummy!!" Feb 2010
(MA of Middlesbrough) had this to say:"Order arrived yesterday afternoon and, having made bread straight away to a Peter Thomson recipe, the Teff tastes surprisingly good! Thank you" - 01.02.07
"I just had to write to you since getting your rice flour on prescription. I was using another gluten-free mix and the results were really quite awful. I almost gave up eating bread because I so disliked the taste. However I tried your flour following a recipe by Caroline Humphries for milk bread......wonderful. I now make a loaf every couple of days and can once again enjoy a sandwich. So thank you for producing such a lovely rice flour that gives excellent results. - Sue Harte: 8.12.07
And another satisfied customer writes:
" The AiA flour blend is wonderful, such a time saver, and does away with bulky containers for the flour. I like the fact that the end result of my baking is the same every time using the prepared blend. Well done!" Heather Crawford 19.01.08
NOTE: This product has just been rebranded & is called RESPECTRUM flour
We also heard from Ros Ede on 4.02.08

"I placed an order for tapioca flour and a Teff cake mix yesterday afternoon and I have just received it 1.45pm today! I am amazed and thank you for being so quick."

The fact that these people took time to comment on our service and products and allow us to use their recommendations is a testimony to our desire to provide a high standard of personalised customer service. Please visit our customer comments section to see what else other customers have had to say - also our recipe section features successful recipes using Pure products which have been kindly provided by customers.

Our aim is to provide quality "free-from" products which you can be sure are safe. Employing staff with a pathology background, we fully understand the need for product integrity and the high standards required to ensure customers have no adverse reaction when baking with our products. To give you peace of mind, all products are ELISA tested to ensure that no cross contamination has occurred anywhere in the food chain, from grower to the final retail/prescription pack that you use in your kitchen. We feel strongly that those with coeliac disease or other food intolerances should have access to foods which are similar in texture and taste to those that contain gluten or other allergens. Accordingly, we sell “basic building block” products that allow customers to create great tasting foods and at a reasonable cost.

Contact us on info@innovative-solutions.org.uk if your GP or pharmacist requires the P.I.P. references to enable you to receive products on prescription, and we will email the form to you. Alternatively, click here to download the prescription form in Word format. A prepaid prescription costs £27.85 for 3 months or £102.50 for an annual certificate from April 2008

We would like Pure Products to remain affordable for those of you who do not qualify to receive products on prescription - i.e. those with wheat or other food intolerances, autistic children, those with IBS etc. so costs are kept to a minimum. Catering and bulk packs are also available for those of you who batch bake or for gluten-free bakeries, so please contact us if you require prices.
