Ceoliacs In New Zealand

[neats]

Hello to anyone else in New Zealand with this disease. I am in ROtorua and would like to chat with anyone else who has the disease, Particularly interested in help in food labeling ingredients etc.

Hoping you stick around & get comfort from the things others are posting on other pages, there are different health services and products but the inside experience is the same ...

Here are a couple of excerpts from people who posted in the Australia thread:

... us Celiacs of the world really need to stick together.

If you're in NZ, this is a good site, giving a list of food manufacturers in NZ

Some of my best friends are from NZ, live in London now, have conditions that are known to be linked to celiac disease, I think they are thinking of going gluten-free ...

Very best of wishes,

Michael

Neats, I too am from New Zealand.

I know you posted long ago, but long ago I did not know what was wrong with me, actually believed there was nothing really wrong with me. It is that ostrich thing, burying my head in the sand.

Well I hope to hear from you.

It is good on this forum, I have learned from it, but it has an American flavour, and it would seem they do not have the products we have over here. It has been a lot of trial and error, and it would be good to have someone to talk to about a kiwi perspective.

Someone was saying how they could eat M&M's over there, but when I look at our packets, they say wheat on them. It is so annoying.

But still, I am trying to loose weight and sweets just won't do it for me.
