Question 37724 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Luc Geismar draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for disabled people, to the situation of people suffering from celiac disease. This pathology of immunological origin actually causes an allergy to gluten, and leads affected people to have to eliminate this protein from their diet, and consequently to replace many other products, in particular those based on gluten. wheat. To support people suffering from this disease, health insurance offers partial coverage for gluten-free diet foods (up to 60% of the ceilings set at 33.54 euros per month for children under ten years old and 45.73 euros per month beyond this age). Obtaining these reimbursements is, however, subject to cumbersome and complex procedures, since the person wishing this reimbursement must send the food stickers by post, as well as the corresponding form. This is why the MP wishes to draw the attention of the Secretary of State to the need to offer the possibility of digitizing these procedures, to allow patients who wish to do so to send their supporting documents to health insurance more easily. In addition, the offer of gluten-free products can appear insufficient, and sometimes forces the families concerned to turn to processed, or even ultra-processed, products instead of raw and healthier products. This is why he calls on the need for the Government to encourage the development of gluten-free products, including unprocessed products.
